TIL. Also, the blog post claims that donkeys can be seen “picking them [coyote] up by the neck and shaking them wildly: possibly causing trauma that can disable or injure”. Woah.

According to English Wikipedia, they are also known as wapitis and that’s what European languages seem to call them (including mine).

That’s just evil!
If we’re talking about English, there were different kinds of English which were spoken (Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English, and Modern English. And no, Old English doesn’t just mean English that sounds ‘old’. It was an early variety of English that was spoken from the 5th/7th century to 1066). All of them had their own phonology, morphology and syntax. In short, they followed their own linguistic rules and conventions. The way they sounded wasn’t just randomly made up. To find out more, look up the varieties of English I mentioned or take a look at this Wikipedia article about Historical linguistics.
I second that. Fossify also has a whole suite of other apps. It’s a fork from Simple Tools which sold out. Fossify Gallery is awesome and also available on Play Store. Other apps are making their way there. NB! Not connected to Fossify, just a fan of what they’re doing.
I can’t write much today, but I just want to thank everyone for their input. I know that AI means different things for different professions and different people. In cording, it can be quite helpful. But in a language-based profession, it can be problematic, because it can output fluent and convincing language, while getting all the facts wrong. Or it can sound very artistic, but if you look at it closer, it’s not all that original, or the language might become impoverished, and so on and so forth. In tedious and repetitive jobs people are perhaps more willing to give over to AI. Which is what robots are doing.
I’ll read your replies more closely tomorrow and reply to each one, if I can. Thanks for the discussion!
No prob! 😊 👍️
Thank you, I’m pretty proud of myself as well. I was already prepared to re-install from scratch, because I have backups in place. I still can’t understand why a tiny programme completely borked Software Center, but apparently Windows and Linux don’t mix at all, unless you use Wine.
My upvote goes to Master PDF Editor as well. Only PDF reader/editor that can do annotations and notes sufficiently well, in my very personal opinion.
FocusWriter for a minimalist, focused writing experience. You can edit the existing template for a dark theme and white text. I rather like the typewriter font, Liberation Mono (it was Courier something back on Windows). Give it a try. I’ve been using it for around 3-4 years.
Space will become flat. /j
Hah, yeah. Like others, I already use uBlock, and I don’t really use Facebook any more. On the other hand, I’m worried about the social implications of not using FB and Messenger. I’ve been planning to move to secure messaging apps, but it almost feels like you’re not a human if you don’t have FB. In that regard, I found switching my email provider easier. But I’ll remove my account eventually, more likely sooner than later.
Nice move Meta, you just cemented my decision to leave Facebook / Meta for good. Thanks!
I can’t be arsed to write the pronunciation in IPA. Just go on Google Translate to hear how it’s pronounced or learn Welsh on Duolingo.
Da iawn, rwyt ti’n gallu siarad / ysgrifennu Cymraeg nawr / rŵan! :)
“Rwy’n hoffi chi. Dych chi eisiau mynd i’r caffi gyda mi am baned o goffi?”

“I like you. Do you want to go to the café with me to have a cup of coffee?”
I’m still learning Welsh, so this might contain mistakes, but it’s better than saying you don’t understand her… For future reference, you know.
Edit: Meant to reply to the comment below me.
I’m just adding an additional source, because I just recently read about this way of using the forward slash to create abbreviations. English Language & Usage has a good post on Stackexchange. Wikipedia says they are used for “two-letter initialisms” (a type of abbreviation). Wikipedia also provides some more examples, see here.
Thank you. I’ve tried it on desktop and I like it. I’m looking for a phone app for this use case (such as translating product labels when shopping).
Thank you, looks promising!
There’s Zotero. I haven’t used it but seems to have a feature called ‘Collect with a click’ which should allow adding bookmarks.
