Can we talk about Carolingian minuscule and how we once had a system of handwriting so legible that a lay person from today can look at a thousand year old document and correctly interpret all the characters and we went from that to the sometime inscrutable blackletter because of higher output needs?
in old german sütterlin handwriting and also some old printed things, for this same reason the u has a short line on top. Dot is i, line is u. That way you can see the vowels even easier and won't confuse them with n or m either.
Oh praise God 🙆🏻♀️ I found the historical linguists 💐🍻 My first academic passion was linguistics - esp dialects & idioms but etymology also fascinating
As an aside, this reminded me of Russian cursive where the letters и, л, м and ш are written with identical strokes (л and м joined to preceding letter with a small hook). This makes for some bizarre looking combinations like in the word лишишь (“you will deprive”) in the image.
To mitigate the ambiguity, a horizontal bar can be written below ш, but I’m not sure how common this is in practice.
Other languages written in cyrillic probably have similar or identical conventions, but Russian cursive is the only one I am familiar with to some extent.
What really fascinated me about the 'invention' of the J and U is that this came _after_ printing with movable type. Because there is a fixed layout for the letters in movable type to make a typesetting faster (just like we have fixed keyboard layouts) and the spaces for the J and U are tacked on at the end of the case -- they could not change the layout to put J and U in a more optimal spot because then every typesetter would need to retrain the new layout.
It's the same story in Arabic: the letters became too similar to easily distinguish, so dots were added to tell letters apart, e.g. aba, ana, ata: ابا انا اتا

Trump dévoile un accord d'armement avec l'OTAN pour fournir des armes à l'Ukraine
Le président Donald Trump a annoncé lundi que les États-Unis vendraient des milliards de dollars d'équipements militaires aux alliés de l'OTAN, qui en transféreraient ensuite une grande partie à l'Ukraine dans le cadre des efforts visant à soutenir la défense de Kiev contre la Russie.
Le président n'a pas fourni de détails supplémentaires sur cet accord, qui marque sa première approbation de transferts d'armes offensives vers l'Ukraine depuis son retour au pouvoir. Cependant, lorsqu'on lui a demandé si le paquet comprenait des batteries de défense aérienne Patriot et des missiles intercepteurs , il a répondu : "C'est tout."
Une source proche du projet a déclaré à Axios que les États-Unis vendraient pour environ 10 milliards de dollars d'armes à leurs alliés de l'OTAN au cours de la première phase de l'accord.
Le secrétaire général de l'OTAN, Mark Rutte, a déclaré que l'accord porte sur "des quantités considérables d'équipements militaires", notamment des missiles à longue portée et des munitions. L'Allemagne, la Finlande, le Danemark, la Suède, la Norvège, le Royaume-Uni, les Pays-Bas et le Canada ont manifesté leur intérêt à y participer.
Trump a annoncé l'accord sur les armes peu après avoir donné à la Russie un délai de 50 jours pour accepter un cessez-le-feu. "Nous allons imposer des droits de douane très élevés si nous ne parvenons pas à un accord dans les 50 jours", a déclaré Trump. "Des droits de douane d'environ 100 %, on pourrait les appeler des droits de douane secondaires. Vous savez ce que cela signifie."
Le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelenskyy a déclaré avoir discuté lundi avec Trump et Rutte des moyens d'améliorer la protection des civils contre les attaques russes et de renforcer les positions défensives de l'Ukraine.
"Nous apprécions la volonté de fournir des Patriots supplémentaires, et les États-Unis, l'Allemagne et la Norvège travaillent déjà ensemble sur ce sujet. D'autres armes seront également livrées pour protéger la vie de nos citoyens et repousser les assauts russes", a écrit Zelenskyy sur X.
Dans un autre message sur X, Zelenskyy a remercié Trump pour sa « volonté de soutenir l'Ukraine ». Il a déclaré qu'ils avaient convenu de se téléphoner plus souvent et de coordonner les prochaines étapes pour mettre fin à la guerre.
President Donald Trump announced Monday that the United States will sell billions of dollars worth of military equipment to NATO allies, which will then transfer much of it to Ukraine […]
c'est sûr que 800 milliards c'est une belle commande, mais comme l'Europe ne sait pas sur quel pied elle dance (elle ne fait en réalité que tourner en rond), le lendemain, le contrat est dénoncé... pour acheter Français (entre autre), mais comme les capacités de production n'existent pas, ni ici, ni ailleurs... ce sera surtout 800 milliards de commissions dans les poches des "intermédiaires"...
Speaking of weak Democrats, you have no idea how much trouble I've had getting Democrats in #Maine to introduce or otherwise advocate for gun reform legislation. I've written multiple times to the chair of the Democratic Senate Committee, the Executive Director of the Maine Democratic Party, Senate President Mattie Daughtry (my state senator), the Maine Gun Safety Coalition, and more. All of them refuse to answer me. What cowardice. #Politics #Democrats #Guns #GunReform #Democracy #US #USpol
I think the Dems are wise not to embrace the MGSC agenda wholesale.
To take just one example, revoking Constitutional Carry would end any chances of Dems winning outside of Portland and maybe a few pockets on the coast.
@fm2279 I agree, but my request has nothing to do with that. It's possible to have gun reform legislation that does not infringe upon other Second Amendment rights, as many other states have done. (I'll reserve further comment on what I think of the Second Amendment, but you can probably guess.)
If you're not talking about the given example, then it's hard for readers to have any idea at all what it is you want Daughtry (and Maine Dems) to do.
A lot of the bills that have come out of the offices of Southern Maine Dems have been pretty rightly panned by lots of folks, including the ACLU (e.g. the ill-conceived ten-round limit on semi-automatics).
@fm2279 Under Maine law, municipalities are allowed to regulate where and when residents may shoot guns. Most communities in our area do so, but ours won't. I've asked for legislation that would make it mandatory. That legislation would not in any way infringe upon a resident's right to own firearms. It would merely stop them from taking target practice in the backyard (an utterly pointless activity) and frightening unsuspecting neighbors.
@fm2279 The state could make it an issue. As I'm sure you know, Maine municipalities have home rule. They can do as they please, as long as their actions do not violate state or federal law. If the state makes it mandatory, the municipality would have to abide. Hence my messages to Mattie Daughtry. I'm aware of the prospects of passage, but you have to start somewhere. Unless one cares more about staying in power than solving problems.
Nah, guns are and have been a state-wide issue for quite some time, politically and otherwise. This is not a local problem of bad neighbors. Children dying by guns is a significant issue: death by firearms is the second leading cause of death among children and teenagers in Maine. That's unacceptable, and sensible gun laws/sensible enforcement of existing laws would almost surely help. @michaelmagras@mstdn.social
You can look up the data about the entire state of Maine having this problem with children dying by firearms yourself. Your response is literally not rational. I'm out. @michaelmagras@mstdn.social
@abucci I think you're talking about how guns are dangerous as a very general concern, while I (and I thought we) were talking about a specific problem with discharge of firearms within a local jurisdiction that has the power to regulate it but doesn't.
Those aren't the same thing.
And I want to be friendly here because I've found our interactions to be pleasant in the past, but I'm not sure the way you've jumped in and out of the thread here is the gold standard for "rational".
@abucci It doesn't seem very fair, I'd add, to conflate a position on subsidiarity and regulation of discharge of firearms with some general pro-mass-murder position.
I reacted to the statement that gun-related issues and laws in Maine are a local problem, which they very clearly are not. The specific one at hand, a person using a firearm in their yard, might be framed as a local/municipal problem if one were inclined to ignore the context in which it's occurring. But I am not so inclined. Furthermore, it's a perfectly reasonable and valid political act to petition your state to take action that your municipality will not, and force it to be a statewide issue that needs to be addressed (which it is, and has been, for some time). That's how politics works. I found your responses here--that it's "just a local problem"--to be needlessly dismissive of an important issue. I'd also like to keep things friendly, but I don't find dismissiveness like that to be very friendly.

@m0xEE have you thought of making a collective where we operate dns with some sort of trust mechanism? i have a budget to make this a thing. maybe we can talk about it someday
Yeah, great idea! DNS, while decentralised, is still becoming a problem as a lot of critical parts are controlled by corporate entities which at times do not cut it. However recreating it on the same technological stack with different people at the helm would make little sense IMO and would be just siphoning resources. I think we have to explore what modern approaches to decentralised name resolution exist and maybe build on that, filling the missing parts and creating a compatibility layer. E.g. TOR works, I have privoxy that redirects everything .onion to TOR network, but it's slow as a snirtle.
TLS certificates are becoming another problem: toot.mirbsd.org/@mirabilos/sta… Google is taking over LetsEncrypt and doing business as they deem fit for themselves, of course some babies are getting thrown away with the water 😩
@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com Originally it's an acronym for The Onion Router — they still have onion in their logo and in the TLD. I couldn't give less shits about how they are choosing to stylise it for the sake of having a registered trademark 🤷
I hope it’ll help you ❤️. But at the same time I’m quite shocked what considers as more healthy yoghurt. Bad pics of what we have in the fridge. One is organic Røros and the other cherry from Tine. The plain one is fat milk, skim milk powder, yoghurt culture and local culture (tettekultur). Tine has also fat milk, sugar, cherries and cherry juice, skim milk powder, carrot juice, aromas, elderberry juice, yoghurt culture. That is “mainstream” yoghurt, cheap and in every store.
if you have a Costco membership they have a really good A2 yogurt we like there. A2 dairy is easier on your system. It's plain but just add in fresh fruit preferably from a local source. Also we use it as sour cream or mix with a pudding package to make a delicious dessert. Great stuff. Glad you are doing well!

currently i just wedge the cylinder in there with spacer blocks but i don't like 30 tons pressing on loose stuff. if anything gets cocked it can let loose and send heavy parts flying
i did make some mounting brackets for the car body work that solidly mounts a hydraulic cylinder on the frame but that was only for my 12 ton ram not the 30 ton.
just no time for this endless tool making right now. keep having to put stuff off til after the move and it's driving me nuts

Because children love to break windows, when they become adults they discover true freedom and prefer Linux. But still, don't give windows to children, it is very expensive🤣
I get the point. I would describe Windows as a prison, where you're ordered what to do and your boundaries are tied, and Linux as a playground where children can choose, learn, and experiment. Children belong in the playground and not the prison.

The U.S. Will Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Aid - The Atlantic
“Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food—enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week—are set to expire tomorrow, acc to current and former government employees with direct knowledge of the rations.
Within weeks, two of those sources told me, the food, meant for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan, will be ash.”
The US has also sat on large stockpiles of packaged, individually air droppable HDRs (Humanitarian Daily Rations) and sells them via GSA auctions. They were explicitly made as a full day's worth of complete nutrition to malnourished people and part of the contents are meant to serve as infant food.
You can airdrop tens of thousands of them out of the back of a military cargo plane. I ate nothing but HDRs for a month to try and call attention to their anomalous non-use in the US airdrop relief during the Biden administration, when the US launched a token PR effort when it was fully capable of providing full relief to northern Gaza entirely by air.
Since it struck Iran on June 13, the Israeli Government Advertising Agency has paid for tens of millions of advertisements on YouTube alone.

Israeli media reported Monday that four Israeli forces were killed in the Gaza Strip when resistance forces attacked their armored vehicle during operations.
