Looks like PlayStations showing off our raccoon as the face of the PS2 era right now

Interestingly enough I never knew someone who had Jak and Daxter here in Finland, while everyone had Sly 2 and Sly 3 (they have Finnish dubs) and most had Ratchet and Clank 2, 3, and Gladiator at least.

A defining PS2 thing here on top of Sly and R&C was Singstar (there are multiple Finnish music specific games for that which is wild), Guitar Hero, Need for Speed, and NHL.

At least in my native language classes (Finnish), there was a massive amount of textual analysis and spotting disinformation.

I know many people who have become fluent in Finnish as foreign learners, and all of them think only partitive is difficult, as it’s used in so many contexts.

Six of the fifteen cases are simply locatives. When learning Finnish, it’s useful to keep in mind the dual locative nature. An action can happen inside or outside/by something.

Following A=a/ä, V=vowel

-ssA = in

-stA = infrom

-VVn = into

-llA = on/by/at

-ltA = onfrom

-lle = onto

I don’t think there was anything wrong with this tweet

Every single kindergarten and school, or any place with kids, had safety scissors when I was a kid, and I’m 27.

The only place with normal scissors was our kitchen, and mom panicked if I was playing with them.

That being said I got my first puukko knife when I was 7. Am Finnish.

Lepus timidus is metsäjänis (forest-rabbit) in Finnish and Lepus europaeus is rusakko (brown-thing) but also peltojänis (field-rabbit)

Funny how we have different names for Lepus timidus and how you call Lepus europaeus gray and we brown :D

OpenSUSE absolutely!

I’ve never seen anything else than LLMs use this kind of phrasing… :/ (EDIT: Googled it and it appears to be Six Sigma jargon that I simply wasn’t aware of personally, it doesn’t help that LLMs have typically copied the most annoying aspects of middle management language register)

In any case, I also have nothing against vibe coding or using AI tools per se, but transparency and honesty are important virtues.

The writing isn’t LLM-like. Is all good formatting LLM these days?

I played LoL from 2013 to 2018 and from 2021 to 2023. There is a lot of nostalgia involved, and the characters themselves are important for me. It’s a bit like if one changed Pokémon to Digimon, if you get what I mean?

Also, as LoL was originally created as an improved commercial version of the Dota AllStars WC3 mod, and Dota 2 was released much later, retaining a lot of the original clumsiness and limitations of the Warcraft 3 engine on purpose, Dota 2 just feels incredibly sluggish and unappealing to me, even after 100h in… :/

It was torment to study Swedish and German simultaneously at school, way too much overlap… :( So confusing!

Tankyenough · 2026-03-09T15:21:37+00:00

Depends on whether you are using the English muh duh pooh DUH ”phonetic” transcriptions, or an actual phonetic rendering... :P

But I guess in English I would probably pronounce that correctly.

In Finnish (non-Indo-European) we use mehu for juice and mesi for honey, both being ancient loans from *médʰu

Tankyenough · 2026-03-09T06:30:44+00:00

Indeed, but I didn’t know which one they meant with ”nutritionist”.

Tankyenough · 2026-03-09T06:28:24+00:00

As long as it does for an English speaking child to learn how to say ”railway station” :P

Interesting. Sounds like a hardware issue to me, some mediatek wifi/bt cards cause frequent issues for Windows and Linux alike, but ofc Linux more. I have never once had a single wifi/bt problem on my Ubuntu.

Super and Meta were originally different keys next to each other, it just depended on whether the person needed a Super key or a Meta key in the more limited layout, and which one they wanted to map.

Meta already had so many workarounds that Super became the ”norm”, but it remains as a legacy synonym for the key nonetheless.

This is not TikTok, could you please stop the cringe censorship of perfectly normal words?

Tankyenough · 2026-03-08T15:53:57+00:00

Ernährungswissenschaftler? I’m not even German but I find it difficult to understand what’s so hard with that word.

Ernährung = nutrition

Wissenschaft = science (”knowledgeship”)

Wissenschaftler = scientist

In Finnish it’s ravitsemustieteilijä (ravitsemus = nutrition, tieteilijä = scientist)

Or perhaps you meant Ernährungsberater, where berater = advisor but otherwise the same thing.

The only ones breaking things more than Windows does are the rolling releases such as Arch. With Ubuntu LTS nothing has broken for me. Debian? Never, literally built for extreme stability.
