Although a lot of things in our culture have degraded over the last couple generations: our education levels, our attention spans, our identification with adulthood — and all of these have very systemic reasons — one thing that people commonly say has gotten worse as well is language. But it hasn't, really.
Language can't really be good or bad. Language is expressive, it exists to communicate in the current circumstances. So while the language is certainly used to express modern things that we see as objectively bad — with terms like "toxic" and "brainrot" and "adulting" being common parlance now — it isn't the language itself that's the problem.
In fact, people have been complaining for generations that language has become dumbed down. And if you think that it's true, that language has only gotten stupider over the last couple hundred years, I would like to introduce you to rhyming slang:
[ChanServ] William has entered the channel.
[Jonathan] Hi William
[James] hi will
[Emily] will lol
[Samuel] 🅱️ill
[Emily] lol
[James] lol
[William] ...
[NickServ] William has changed their nick to Bill
[Samuel] LMAO
I should amend myself: the relationship is two-sided, and language can certainly have an impact on culture, too. We would benefit, at least a little, by avoiding these terms.
@Shine_McShine Lo compré de salida en PS4, me gustó, pero. Lo compré en PC anos más tarde cuando sacaron Next. Desde entonces lo voy reinstalando frecuentemente porque es un poco como casa. Para mí es ese sandbox al que puedes ir recurrentemente a estar tranquilo.
Tl;dr: dudo que te fueras a arrepentir si te lo compras.

#Vaccination oui ou non ? J'étais un fervent défenseurs de la vaccination a tout va. Étant propriétaire d'un cerveau bien fonctionnel, avec un certain nombre de neurones : je lis, je lis beaucoup, je regarde les études de tous bords, je lis les statistiques et cette position de défenseur de tous les vacc et les accumuler est devenue indéfendable. On Constate que 90% des décès par maladies infectieuses avaient disparu AVANT l’introduction des vaccins Les enfants HAMISH aux USA (refus des vaccins) ne souffrent quasi pas d’autisme. Les seuls cas sont des gosses adoptés, donc vaccinés...
Hoy solo subo está fotito de Ulises, que seguimos con que #UlisesBuscaCasa.
Pero no os doy la chapa habitual, que la cefalea no me deja pensar bien. Solo que está en adopción y que si queréis el amor de un gatito que a poco que me rasques entre las orejas empieza a hacer 'purrú-purrú', mandadme un mensaje directo y hablamos.
The occupation has begun to completely erase our neighborhood. Shells are falling nonstop, and their tanks are approaching my home. We are in desperate need to move immediately to southern Gaza to save our lives. I know I’m asking for help repeatedly and feel like a burden, and I sincerely apologize, but we have no choice but to ask for assistance. #gaza @palestine
I'm Joe in the UK, I've been in touch with Aseel from the Sehwel family for over a year now and have been following their difficult struggle to afford medication, shelter and food in Gaza.
In the USA, "the AI boom is fueling a frenzy of data centers that are competing with residential homes for capital, power, water, and even sonic space. The result is a housing market stuck in neutral, with the potential for higher bills on the horizon, and neighborhoods kept awake by the hum of chillers designed to keep machines-not people-cool."
A phenomena which I'm not aware of being explored in sci-fi but which seems obvious now in retrospect, is how easily humans would be convinced by artificial impersonations of intelligence long before our technology got anywhere creating actual artificial general intelligence.

Le représentant intérimaire de la #Russie à l' #ONU, #Polyanski, sur les tentatives de l' #Occident d'accuser Moscou d'avoir fait échouer les tentatives de négociations de paix :
En mettant en avant les victimes et les destructions dans les villes ukrainiennes, les initiateurs occidentaux de la réunion d'aujourd'hui ignorent délibérément la chasse intentionnelle menée par les forces armées ukrainiennes aux civils, y compris les femmes, les enfants et les personnes âgées sur le territoire russe. Chaque jour, des dizaines et des centaines de drones sont lancés sur les régions russes. Rien que la semaine du 18 au 24 août, 140 civils ont été victimes des bombardements des nazis ukrainiens. 121 personnes ont été blessées, dont 8 mineurs. 19 personnes sont mortes, dont un enfant. Ces victimes n'intéressent pas nos collègues occidentaux. Elles s'inscrivent dans leur stratégie de nuire à la Russie par l'intermédiaire de l'Ukraine, pour laquelle ce projet anti-Russie a été créé par eux à l'époque. De plus, on omet délibérément de considérer le fait que notre frappe combinée sur les installations de l'industrie militaire ukrainienne a été effectuée en réponse aux attaques perpétrées pendant près de deux semaines après le sommet en Alaska contre les raffineries de pétrole russes. Ces actions visent à provoquer une réaction de la Russie, à la présenter de manière déformée comme disproportionnée, puis à accuser Moscou de saboter toute tentative de négociations de paix.
UK Government has lost the plot if it’s criminalising this T-shirt
If we criminalise a message that says, in essence, “stop genocide”, we have lost the plot. The proper response is not a charge sheet but a recommitment to the principle that in a democracy, words – however uncomfortable – are met with words, not handcuffs.
I didn’t sit down this morning planning to write a grouchy blog post about Hugo.
When I first used Hugo I loved it. It was fast. It was simple. It just worked, as much as any software does, and it solved a real problem.
It was done.

"C'est le grand retour de la «menace russe» pour discréditer le mouvement social. Le 10 septembre serait en fait un complot à grande échelle. L’article 10 Septembre : le retour du complotisme d’en haut est apparu en premier sur Contre Attaque."
PSA: If you're going to use a political hashtag — or really, any hashtag that it is possible to Know Things about — you should 100% expect someone to come in and correct you if you make a careless take using that hashtag. You're not entitled to spread your incorrect opinion and you're certainly not entitled to get all huffy and libbed up about it when you're called out.
Literally had someone "how dare you correct me, a black man, about what socialism means" at me the other day and I still just can't. Yankees are so fucked man.

#Israël, est le 2e plus grand bénéficiaire par habitant du financement de startups de l' #UE. Malgré sa non-appartenance à l'UE, Israël capte d'importants fonds européens en plein #génocide
#Israel is the second largest recipient per capita of #EU startup funding. Despite not being a member of the EU, Israel receives significant European funds in the midst of #genocide.
Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Palestine, has denounced it bluntly: “Israel is the second largest per capita recipient of initial EU funding through the European Innovation Council. European institutions will have to answer for the innovations that have facilitated Israel’s assault on Gaza. This program must be stopped immediately” (X, 28 August 2025)
Manu Pineda discusses the EU's direct financing of “Israel’s” war machine, channeling millions through the European Innovation Council to fund technologies of repression and genocide in Gaza.

ich bin auch am Aufgeben. Fühle mich wie Don Quichote und keinen Interessiert es. Die sagen selbst, in den Süden fliegen wir nicht, dort brennt es wir fliegen auf die Inseln. Die Menschen wollen nicht gerettet werden, es tu mir leid für die Kinder und Enkel, aber eure Eltern haben es so entschieden und nun lebt damit. Die afd wird 2029, wenn nicht schon früher, Grokoaus demnächst, den Rest geben. Viel Spaß dabei. Wer nicht hört muss eben fühlen, hatten wir schonmal vor rund 100Jahren.
Την Δευτέρα 1 Σεπτεμβρίου 2025 θα δικαστούν στο Μονομελές Εφετείο Κακουργημάτων Χανίων, πενήντα κατηγορούμενοι, ως διακινητές μεταναστών. Βασικό στοιχείο εναντίον τους ότι έπιασαν το τιμόνι της βάρκας κάποια στιγμή κατά την διάρκεια του ταξιδιού τους.
@lproven, good example I use often. a very nice Html app, a complete word processor in the browser, save files locally in html format by default (also PDF and txt), permits also editing Html and Pages copied in it appear with the original UI and all links working. Because of this also good for designing web pages. Works also fine in mobile and PWA
Free desktop quality WYSIWYG online word processor and text editor for any mobile and desktop computer device. The best free online word processor and text editor that runs directly inside your web browser using pure HTML5 code.
@Catweazle Why would I want that rather than a local app?
I am actually quite lazy. When I find something that suits the job I need, I often stick to it. Now my day job involves pasting stuff into a CMS, I use Markdown, because it's vastly preferable to HTML. I use Panwriter. I wrote about it.
Yes, the Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, was commissioned by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavian dynasty in AD 72 and completed under the reign of his son, Titus, in AD 80. It is one of the most iconic landmarks of ancient Rome and was used for various public spectacles, including gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, and dramatic performances. The Colosseum could hold between 50,000 to 80,000 spectators and is a testament to the engineering prowess of the Romans, with its sophisticated design and the use of concrete and stone. Despite the damage it has suffered over the centuries due to earthquakes and stone robbers, it remains a symbol of the grandeur of ancient Rome.
