Never have I felt so vindicated, or so shitty about being vindicated, as I do whenever I recall being loudly booed at an SF convention ten years ago for saying β€œElon Musk is not Tony Stark, he’s not your friend, & he’s not out to save anyone or anything.”

I should start paying attention to Canada/QuΓ©bec politics again. I've been hyperfocused on Russia's aggression against Ukraine, but there are some significant changes in the political landscape happening in Canada, too. I'm wholly on the side of Ms. Freeland, and I totally see how a person who has long fought against oligarchy (see her book "Plutocrats") would be ill-fitting in Trudeau's government that is trying to play footsies with the incoming king of oligarchs South of the border.

@sayrer I suggest you try running a community website in, say, Texas, and start using the Mexican flag for the Spanish version of the site. I believe you'll quickly find out just how politically charged such choices can be.

I know, I'll use the US flag for English, and the France flag for French. At least this way I'll equally piss off anglophone and francophone quΓ©becois.

(This is wix.com, by the way, who even in 2024 can't conceive that a single country can use multiple languages.)

Have you ever had an email come with oonts-oonts sound effects? I just got something like that!

Ugh, I'm not doing this again. It's one thing to gamify things, and totally another to add stress and anxiety to your language learning.

The real idiot is the person who butchered Cyrillic for a stupid reason.

Not quite the murderous piece of absolute sh*t dictator I was hoping for, but hopefully 2024 has a few good surprises left in it yet.

Honestly, we are currently out of ideas on how to restore access to Codeberg.org.

We are fighting with extreme traffic and high load for several hours now, we have done the typical procedure to identify and block misbehaving AI crawlers.

However, we are currently having a hard time figuring out details about the ongoing high traffic situation.

@ljrk oof, ok. For me it takes 2.5-3 minutes to do a lesson, and the bonuses eventually expire unless I keep throwing gems at that owl, so i can't be bothered to do over 30 min, which usually is around 1000XP.
