I’m currently reading “All the Knowledge in the World: A History of the Encyclopedia” by Simon Garfield. It mentions a similar thought held by some around the time of the creation of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. (Late 1700s, if I recall correctly)

There were too many books, and they were being printed by just anyone. Who needs a really long dictionary, anyway?

You should try learning German songs and singing them to help with pronunciation! “Madsen” is my favorite German band for this purpose. The lead singer is (usually) easy to understand. But, nearly any singer will do. I’d avoid native English speakers singing in German, though. For instance, I love Connie Francis’s German stuff (and so did many Germans, it seems), but her pronunciation is nothing to emulate, sadly.

But how well did you learn the language? (No snark, genuine question)

Making him sweep a sidewalk is just adding insult to injury.

Yes, I get the sound version but it’s more likely for me to just be walking in a dream, fall flat on my face, and wake up. But it’s more jarring than it should be.

Apparently it’s more common in people with sleep paralysis, which I have.

The marker still has the cap on.

I thought it said “understandable,” and I was like, “yeah.”

Our high school band director used to threaten to defenestrate us. His classroom was on the 1st floor and had no windows, so he of course meant it as a joke.

We all know the meaning of the word now.

Ich liebe dich noch

It’s a type of fish, and they are making word plays with the name of the fish. Why? I’m not sure of the origin of this one. I imagine it’s like the beans or the beef stroganoff memes - the origin doesn’t matter much at this point.

Or a double mastectomy

Series S is the cheapest way to play the game by an absurd margin? Steam Deck is only about $100 more and it plays the game just fine.

Gameboy camera was grayscale not sepia.

Are the straights alright?

SPRICH

I’ve ran into these issues before, but not on the current version. It has been getting a lot of updates lately. It’s gone from version 0.36 up to 0.41 in just the last couple weeks. It’s better than Lemmur, the only other Lemmy app currently available on F-droid. I know apps outside of f-droid exist, but I’m a simple, FOSS man.

I’m not who you were talking to but instead the guy who suggested Jerboa in the first place. Jerboa has improved a lot just in the last month or so since reddit closed 3rd party apps. Currently my only real problems with Jerboa is that it doesn’t play well with AOSP keyboards and if your instance is down and you try to log in, it will change your username to anonymous. And, basically you have to log back in (once your instance is working again). The log back in thing can be annoying since I apparently didn’t choose the most stable instance. (I’ve got alternate accounts now for that.)

Woah woah woah. They are making slide for Lemmy? Slide was my favorite! Thanks for letting me know!

It’s open source and works very well.
