Are you using the eternity app ?

Cause I have noticed deleted comments showing up as blank. While on the web version the show up as "deleted by Creator"

mtchristo ,

We need help communities on Lemmy. That's what is going to make it rank in SEO and fly. Communities like software help (office, adobe creative products, etc), financial help and advice. And ask docs communities.

Memes won't help SEO rank.

Languages with phonetic writing in the modern day likely achieved that through a language standardization process that included spelling reforms.

Not Arabic. It is pronounced as it is written. Except a handful of words that have a different transcription to make them easily distinguishable.

mtchristo ,

We only refer to MSA when talking about Arabic. Most Arab speakers consider dialects side languages to Classical Arabic. They have never had a transcription throughoutout history. People started writing in their dialects only recently with the arrival of SMS and the internet.

I get that as a new comer to Arabic you probably have come across learning materials for dialects like Egyptian and levantine. But in reality you won't find uni courses for those dialects because academics don't consider them to be proper languages with clear grammar and an established vocabulary.

mtchristo ,

You do you. And you have to take into consideration what your goal is by learning Arabic.

Dialects are definitely easier to learn and more rewarding as it allows you to converse with people and test your advancements. But you won't be able to easily transition to another dialect. Because MSA is the glue that make the intelligible.

Learning MSA will take you triple the time. And I imagine your teacher is both proud of his dialect. But also doesn't want you to drop learning if you were to have chosen MSA

I still can't get myself to wear a white T-shirt despite me wanting it.

When you stopped caring about staying in good shape?

I completely stopped caring about 2 years ago, I realized I was never going to do anything with my good look and that I will never get into a relationship in my life, so I just figured out "what's the point then, I'm already invisible to women?" And I don't care about my health tbh......

mtchristo ,

Those women don't deserve you. Live your life for your own enjoyment. But keeping a healthy weight is important to enjoy your later life.

Is that curdled milk? Cause the liquid dish soap I am buying is definitely denser than milk.

mtchristo ,

Quite accurate about the land they ruled over and the Mediterranean as a whole.

Qualified experts of Lemmy, do people believe you when you answer questions in your field?

The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge....

mtchristo ,

I struggle to make my mum take my advice about subjects of my field of expertise for which I had spent 5 cruel years at Uni. So I am at peace now not being able to make my point across the internet.

With about a thousand new daily sign ups to mastodon it feels like it is going back to its rapid degrowth that it has been on before the Twitter debacle.

mtchristo ,

Does this mean tap water in general ?

mtchristo ,

Isn't it the case with western Europe. Like don't most British people who don't have mixed origins speak only English. Or nearly hold onto what they have been taught at school

mtchristo ,

I've had a cat come home with pigeons and a small snake. One thing for sure it wasn't a gift for me. He comes home with his pray so stray cats from the neighborhood don't steel his catch.

mtchristo ,

Could you imagine this is what we are training AI with !

mtchristo ,

Why libre office hasn't adopted the tabbed many bar yet is beyond me ! They are probably not gonna be sued by Microsoft. It is just a huge ux improvement and would ease the friction for new comers especially that everyone is used to using tabbed bar on every other software.

mtchristo ,

Yes some call it tabbed menu. Others call it ribbon menu. It should be the default as many users nowadays are used to this UX paradigm

mtchristo ,

I know. I was talking about making it default. As many newcomers won't know about it's existence first hand, and give up on it

mtchristo ,

I bet scientists will find a workaround very soon.
