Spreadsheet. The first sheet contains, by column:

• The word itself, in citation form. If the conlang uses Latin/Cyrillic/Greek I keep it in the original, otherwise I romanise the writing system, as close to possible to the original*. No idea how I’d deal with a logographic system.
• Phonemic and phonetic transcriptions. Often more than one if I’m handling multiple con-dialects.
• Part of speech: noun, verb, etc.
• Declension/conjugation, if applicable. Heavily irregular words get marked “irregular” here.
• Sandhi classes, gender, stuff like this, when applicable. Basically, ways this word interferes on other words.
• Coarse translation, with one or two words.
• Notes for subtle irregularities (e.g. “genitive in -n”), and a finer translation than the above.

The next sheets include declension/conjugation tables, separated by part of speech. Heavily irregular words get handled here, as their own conjugations/declensions.

*even if this means doing counter-intuitive stuff, like writing ⟨b̃⟩ for /m/ because it’s how the native script handles it.

brain.exe stopped working. I need to reboot rebooze it.

Suddenly carcinisation becomes too spooky!

Thanks! That’s the idea - make it memorable, not necessarily expensive.

A shame she flat out refused to let me cook for her tomorrow. I’ll do it today, though (it’s one of her favs at least).

Mother’s Day this weekend, so my sister and me have been cooking something up for our mum: a breakfast basket with some of her favs. Mostly small portions of a bunch of different jellies, she loves those.

I toyed with the idea of an orchid, since she likes those too, but she already got enough she complains about taking too long to water them.

Mum also decided to treat herself buy buying some salted cod, and told me I should be off the kitchen for the Sunday. Okay~ another thing to look forward*. (I’ll be probably cracking open my Pinot Noir to drink alongside it, bought last time I went to Argentina, a year ago.)

Ah, and I’m glad my nephew found some perfume for my sister! He spent the afternoon checking for some with my mum, so the odds it works well for my sis are fairly high.

*I wish I could help her in the kitchen, but… eh. Four hands cooking with her is complicated.

Giving free access to a tool you can’t rely on, over a system you must rely on. What could go wrong? /s

Plus come on, even my personal files get a monthly backup, and I’m damn sloppy*.

Ah, and like others said: Claude didn’t “confess” anything. A confession is an acknowledgement of something you’ve done but you’d rather avoid others knowing, good luck claiming a bot has a mental model of people like we do.

*currently using a single off-site backup, a USB stick. This will change in a few days, as my new hard disk pops up; the old one will be used for, among other things, backup of important files. Then I’ll get a bona fide 3-2-1.

One of mine does this sometimes. Yup, it’s damn cute. ♥

RIP, apparently 😔

…wow. I wasn’t aware of that at all. But the forums confirm it, and Battosay wouldn’t joke about it. :-/

May he rest in peace.

Anyway. Now thinking, most of his takes were spot on, and proved true later on: Minecraft wasting huge amounts of dev time on pathfinding for pets and then testificates, Forge becoming a drama-generating machine, and, more on-topic, Molyneux.

When one of my cats decides to sleep with me. I know they decide where to sleep based on the weather, but I can’t help but feel a bit more loved when they do it.

Epic is evil while Ubisoft is just incompetent

Incompetence is a form of evil. Put them both in the same square.

Lemme quote a Minecraft forums post:

Now, I’m going to take an educated guess here and say that Peter Molyneux is probably the developer in question that suggested these things [that Notch should add pets to Minecraft]. It’s right up his ally [SIC - alley].

A couple of things to keep in mind with Molyneux: he has great ideas, but his ideas are often way overly ambitious. This is why his games are constantly very late and way over budget. While he’s brilliant, he also has a tendency to go way off on design tangents that keep his development teams spinning in circles.

This is from 2011. Fifteen years ago, at least professional game designers (like the OP from that quote, FlowerChild) were already aware Molyneux is an “ideas guy”. He pictures huuuuuge, world-changing games that are unfeasible. Couple this with anything related to RL money and guess what, you’ll get people losing money.

That “pawn barrier” at the queens’ side hints badger lost the rook some time ago. I can picture how; they likely advanced it, moved it to column b, at the black pawn there. Eventually the black pawn from a advanced enough to eat it, but badger was distracted (or let it be on purpose).

Then I can carry all my friends

Open the door, get on the floor. Everybody walk the dinosaur!

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Either way it’s cute to think one is teaching the other.

I think the badger kept advancing that pawn because they’re new at the game, and the rabbit let it be because they’re teaching the badger how to play. I’m saying this because the rabbit is in a clearly better position, but it seems they’re holding back, the white pawn in 5a is also vulnerable and they seem to be ignoring it.

Whoever is the next to move. Rabbit has material advantage (a rook vs. a pawn), but if the badger is the next one to move they can capture the rabbit’s queen and promote the pawn. The promoted pawn will be short-lived, but now badger has the material advantage (a queen vs. a rook).

And reminder you don’t need to be good at chess to have fun with it. Those two got the right idea: get comfy with a friend and have fun.

At its most absurd nadir, one is reminded of Juicero, a company that sold a $400 juicer that did the same work as squeezing its proprietary juice packs with one’s bare hands.

It does.

Happy how my seafood paella turned out yesterday. I’m always a bit anxious before trying a new recipe, specially if I need to adapt things: no paella pan (more work for the wok), no bomba rice (long grain was the bomb), no saffron (no suffering, used turmeric), and no bola pepper (smoked garden pepper kept it rolling).

Surprised to see my mum eating so much as she did. She’s now talking about me making the recipe in special occasions (like Easter; not for Good Friday though, that’s sardine barbecue day for her).

My comment doesn’t, but the OP does. Four downvotes in Beehaw is quite a lot, given the local users don’t downvote. Same thread is in the negatives in one of the cross-posts even if it’s on-topic.

And, like. I get why people would react negatively towards the product itself, but I don’t think it’s good tone to react like this towards the news being shared, you know?

People, please stop shooting the messenger. Please.

With that out of the way: I wish Mozilla didn’t waste so much money on chasing the latest trend of the season, and instead used it for its main products. Including Thunderbird. The one asking for donations.

Some years from now Thunderbolt will likely pop up in this list, of abandoned Mozilla products. Because it isn’t the result of Mozilla finding a niche to create an AI product to benefit users; it’s simply execs chasing the latest trend.

*Beehaw users are likely not seeing this, but this post has a bunch of downvotes.
