Nope, youre right, playbook is the right term. Got it mixed up with chef.

Since no one has mentioned it yet -

If you haven’t tried setting Synapse up with the ansible playbook you should. It’s almost push-button and has 1:1 voice calls by default. Setting up group voice from there is a bit challenging, but the playbook has a section for it as well if you’re willing to try.

Edit: cookbook - > playbook

Just to emphasize, this is the correct answer

Is there a piefed specific client that isn’t the webapp? How do people commonly access the content?

What’s the game they’re on a losing streak in?

What’s wild is that near the end of the sketch they say, “I can’t think of anything worse than a skull.” I’d say a noose is probably worse…

I discovered the artist recently when I was looking for a big centerpiece painting for a room I’m decorating. His work was exactly what I was looking for - something amazing but unsettling. I never came across this exact piece (I wish I had) but sadly it’s virtually impossible to find (especially legitimate) prints of their work due to the “untitled” tendency.

Aw man, at first I thought this was an Android desktop OS. Android being in Google’s pocket is trash, but you gotta admit the Android permissions system would be an enormous privacy/security upgrade over nearly all other Linux distros, especially factoring in ease of use/understandability (speaking as someone with a functional Qubes setup).

I’ve always been of the mind that the walk is for my dog - not for me. If he wants to stop and sniff something for a long time I let him because that’s what makes the walk enjoyable for him. I will concede though that it’s easy for me to adjust the total length of the walk based on how much stopping he does but that might not be the case for everyone.

Voxelated?

Hell yeah Royval! Was already a fan, now I’m a bigger fan.

I think they’re trying really hard to not translate the name of the practice to make it seem cooler or esoteric or something. But it literally translates to “stomach 8 10 percents” 😂

I think it’s possible, but I don’t personally know. I started with that point/assumption because “Japanese is a hard language to learn” isn’t generally true, but is true for English (only) speakers.

Since English spelling isn’t phonetic, what you’re saying isn’t even possible, so no. Just to be clear, the word phonetic is doing a lot of heavy lifting here and it very specifically means the spelling produces perfectly unambiguous pronunciation which, as far as I know, has never been the case for English with the Latin alphabet. And if you think about it, that makes sense. You are using symbols from a completely different language to describe the sounds - there is zero guarantee there are enough symbols to describe all of the sounds unambiguously. You might be able to get there in combination (see “ch”, one of our most stable letter combinations), but as soon as you do that, readers can no longer intuit what the sound should be. For example, for “ch” the sound for “c” (which is itself already ambiguous) plus the sound for “h” does not “make” the “ch” sound. Instead you’d get either “kuh” like in cousin or “sh” as in shush.

I think it goes something like: you spend nearly all of your time on the English speaking part of the internet - > for English speakers Japanese is one of the hardest languages you can choose to learn - > people want strong tools and resources to help learn it.

Couple that with the reach and popularity of Japanese media and boom.

No, it’s to standardize spellings, because spelling in English is dogshit.

Because IPA is phonetic, meaning a US Midwesterner and Londoner would spell the same word differently.

Ah, I see. When I learned about this the source made it seem like the lines between phonemes were unchanging but if that’s not the case then it’s not as solid as I thought. That being said it’s still more stable than a phonetic alphabet would be, correct?

Shavian is built different. It’s not phonetic, it’s phonemic. Drifts in pronunciation occur along phonemic “fault lines” meaning that the spellings will be evergreen. Additionally it means it accounts for differences in regional pronunciation without spelling needing to be modified.

We don’t need spelling rules, we need a new alphabet. See the Shavian alphabet. It’d be like the English equivalent of Hangul.

A quick reminder: our alphabet isn’t English, it’s Latin. The letters were only ever meant to represent sounds in Latin and were retrofitted onto the English language (which is why it sucks so much).
