Am I understanding that Finnish has a way to combine words without being considered to be a compound? My very limited exposure to compound words (through German) was the very idea of mashing the words together made them compound.

folkrav@lemmy.cato Linux@lemmy.ml•Researching making the switch from Windows on my main PC and I have questions.8·3 months agoAudition, Photoshop and Cubase you’ll probably have the hardest time to truly replace. Even more if you rely on third party plugins for either of those.

folkrav@lemmy.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•the 'it' in 'it snows' doesn't refer to anything6·4 months agoFunny. In French, we call it a “pronom impersonnel”, meaning non-personal pronoun.
Eh I’m not hard set on full spec compliance. I use ZSH, it’s not technically POSIX compliant but close enough that I virtually never have to think about it. Technically correct would probably have been “sh derivative” or something.
Pretty much my situation. Work stuff, Windows machine, but Linux/Docker workflow and I refuse to let go of my POSIX shell.
Fuuuuck I rented that game so much back then. If it wasn’t available every other weekend at my local video store it was 100% my fault.
I think it’s at the very least true in the sense they’re both things many people can’t afford
folkrav@lemmy.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We joke a lot but what is happening in the US is really scary.34·6 months agoGen Z is getting downright worrying at this point. I keep witnessing behaviours and hearing opinions that had practically disappeared since my high school days. I didn’t expect the same ass-backwards bullshit I would have heard some drunk uncle rant about at a family outing when I was a kid, to come out of the mouths of a generation raised in the 21st century. It’s utterly mind boggling. All I can wonder is, who failed to teach them this shit? Were they legitimately raised that way? Who did this, how did it get so bad?
folkrav@lemmy.cato Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that 'Goldfish have a memory-span of at least three months and can distinguish between different shapes, colors, and sounds'English8·7 months agoYou’ve never put your head under water?
folkrav@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Conservatives won't allow reporters to travel with Poilievre during upcoming election21·7 months agoIt’s all gonna hinge on the next couple of weeks/months with Trump, IMHO. His (probably perceived) handling of the situation, and how much he can limit the damage for your average voter will probably dictate the results.
folkrav@lemmy.cato Open Source@lemmy.ml•I don't know why but it pissed me off so much that they called gimp "freeware"10·7 months agoInteresting. I interpreted this definition more like an oval vs. circle distinction. The vast majority of ovals aren’t circles, but circles are a subset of ovals.
folkrav@lemmy.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Work is like music: if you listen to your favorite song for 8 hours a day you are going to hate it81·7 months agoIMHO it’s even worse with ADHD, just less immediate. There are songs and artists that were major favorites of mine at one point, that I just haven’t listened to in years cause I’m so fucking tired of them after listening to them 8h a day for 3 months straight. There also not a single job I didn’t get tired of after a year or two lol
Oh, I mean, power tripping moderators has always been a thing, even in my phpBB forum days when I was a teenager. I’m sure some of us older than I will have similar stories about it happening on certain BBSes. But the user base and therefore impact of that moderation going to shit was much more limited in most cases.
folkrav@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Nearly half of Quebecers cancel U.S. trips amid tensions, boosting local tourism7·7 months agoYeah, indeed. On the other hand I’m also painfully aware that the reason it’s so cheap for me over there is that I’m the richer guy in a poorer country… 😬
folkrav@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Nearly half of Quebecers cancel U.S. trips amid tensions, boosting local tourism3·7 months agoI keep hearing this, but man was it not my experience. I may have just been unlucky, or maybe it was just our specific resort, but the food we ate on the resort was extremely disappointing. The best meal I ate whole week was a random lunch I ate in a disposable plate (the cochinita pibil was out of this world) before leaving Tulum. Meanwhile most food in Cuba was perfectly fine. On average not the best I ate in my life, but nothing terrible.
folkrav@lemmy.cato RetroGaming@lemmy.world•What is the best looking retro console or PC?English7·7 months agoFaux-wood was just everywhere at the time indeed. It was a mix of the materials getting affordable and a certain commodification of the hippie aesthetic. Electronics were more perceived as appliances back then, and it was a common trend to make appliances less sterile by adding “natural” materials such as wood.
folkrav@lemmy.cato[Dormant] moved to [email protected]@lemmy.world•Researchers confirm an exoplanet potentially capable of sustaining life4·8 months agoUnless we discover one in our own solar system or our current understanding of physics is completely off-base, we just won’t reach one lol
folkrav@lemmy.cato ADHD@lemmy.world•Weird how counterintuitive some stimulant effects are when you have ADHDEnglish3·8 months agoInteresting… what happens exactly, if I may ask? Im on 60mg, personally the only side-effect I get is a more or less severe energy crash around dinner time (I feel like I have to go to bed right now for a good 30-60min), but it doesn’t mess with my sleep unless I take it too late in the day. 1PM seems to be the cutoff for fucking up my night.
That’s the thing, downloading from another source is not opposed to downloading from the official store. It’s the same thing - downloading an executable and installing it on your device - with a different UX and warning screens.
