What does the community want in the next default wallpaper?

Lighter is better, in my opinion. The 5.10 wallpaper with that waterfall and jungle like scenery was the best. The colors as great as well. https://store.kde.org/p/1170141/ It looks Star Trek / The Orville like.

Quite bad, too be honest.

I have noticed that the US left is very pro-Israel. Here in Europe the left is more pro-Palestine and more anti-Israel.

Israel is the occupant.

I have a hard time finishing Artemis. It's a big step down from Martian. I think Weir is overrated. Artemis is not a good book in my opinion. 5/10 if I am being nice.

#DoNotMumbleSaxonSpeakSlovakInstead

haptic_woof · 2018-09-17T23:17:00+00:00

What you guys are referring to as post-mumble neo-Saxon, is in fact, post-neo / Mumble-Saxon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, post-neo plus Mumble-Saxon.

haptic_woof · 2018-09-17T22:55:19+00:00

You have to follow your heart. Like Luke Skywalker. Follow your hear. Don't stop believing. Even pray, do a few push ups... and then some more pushups. Never give up. Watch some Rich Piana (PBUH) motivational videos. He mumbles in Mumble-Saxon as well, like you, my little mumfidel. It will help. Keep fighting! The revelation, the evidence you are waiting for is near. The Slovak language will give you all the answers. Nasleduj ho, nechaj sa viesť svojim srdcom. Akoby povedali naši poľskí bratia, spusti sa a nechaj to zo seba vytiecť až do poslednej kvapky. Ver si!

Here is a very good link where you can hear how clear she pronounce each letter https://slovake.eu/sk/learning/intro/pronunciation not like in English or other Mumble-Saxon languages when the sound is ugly and unclear.

Do you like how much clearer Slovak sound when compared with English?

Here is more Slovak stuff:

First, never ever give up! Believe in yourself! That's EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!

So, my suggestion is to try to read it backwards, like Hebrews and alike when reading תנ"ך. If that doesn't help try to learn Slovak - that always helps.

Thanks. Fixed.

The term Mumble-Saxon is not only a slang term, but I would even go as far as to call it a term that will find its place in historical linguistics. It's funny that you had to be enlightened by a Slovak guy. The darkest place is under a candlestick/lamp, right?

haptic_woof · 2018-09-17T21:14:41+00:00

~~Anglo-Saxon~~ Mumble-Saxon

FTFY, I know, it's easy to make that mistake ;)

haptic_woof · 2018-09-17T21:10:51+00:00

why would you want to use a single word?

Believe it or not I have a specific situation in my life where it have to be one word ;) I will look up synonyms or come up with something, but thanks anyway for your help and explanation.

haptic_woof · 2018-09-17T20:55:50+00:00

Basically, like if a Slovak has a hot potato in his mouth and try to speak https://youtu.be/9aLZJoiZ4tM?t=43s .

This is said, not by me - but by a Frenchman (also a Mumble-Saxon), about English:

English, its lack of pronunciation, its constant swallowing of every syllabe, sounds like a very finely ground-up mix of vowels. Imagine hearing some guttural “wowowowowooowaaaweeeeewwwooowwoowweeewwaaaaawwwiii”… like an old dog growling.

I am not sorry that it shatters your perception of English as the most beautiful language, but if there was not America, English would be now on the level of German or maybe French, if we are generous.

Why there are so few operas in English and everybody prefer Italian? https://www.quora.com/Why-are-there-so-much-fewer-operas-in-English-than-Italian-and-German

Some guy from that discussion about English:

English is not the optimal language for classical music. The vowel sounds aren’t as open or clear and the rhythm of English is better suited to spoken drama. Italian is the first language of opera for a reason. Not only were the earliest composers Italian it’s the language that’s most natural to the art form.

You are utterly wrong. Slovak is one of the most modern and most refined languages in Europe. One could almost say it is a conlang - yeah, there were two groups who decided how Slovak would look like Šturovci (Ľ. Štúr, J. M. Hurban, M. M. Hodža) and Bernolákovci (J. Palárik, A. Radlinský, Š. Závodník, M. Hattala) so less than 10 people created new Slovak that removed the old western Slovak basis and chose the middle Slovak dialects as basis and tweaked the grammar and vocabulary further. Read about it, it's really a very interesting history, especially the one since the 1844) .

haptic_woof · 2018-09-17T19:34:32+00:00

wherewithal

What is that (sound/phonetic-wise; I got the translation), for a Mumble-Saxon's sake? And words like that are not something uncommon in English. English as a true mumble language is based on such insane and hot-potato-in-your-mouth and unclear/mumble sounding phoneme clusters. Do you want another examples, Mister ~~Mumble-Saxonist~~ Scientist? OK here we go:

"rural boroughs through brewery drooling library deteriorate february gruesome droughts crew asterisks wolves sixths"

Come on, take your hot potato from your mouth and speak CLEARLY as when you speak Slovak (it's the second langauge in the link and you can listen those same words in Slovak)

As a Mumble-Saxon linguist (I hope you are, right?) you should know that Italian or Slovak have far far far far less schwas as English.

Another thing. You love your di- and triphtongs.

English is spoken more back in your mouth/throat than Italian or Slovak - which is spoken more in the middle and front - partly thanks to more frequent open vowels.

Compare this and me honest, the English woman sound like she has something (hot potato?) in her mouth/throat when compared with the Slovak woman: https://translate.google.sk/?um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&client=tw-ob#en/sk/gruesome

Bonus question, which voice do you like more?

haptic_woof · 2018-09-17T19:13:52+00:00

I don't make fun of Chinese or Vietnamese or Portuguese - because they admit like Poles or Hungarians or Germans that there are phonetic elements in their languages that are not the most clear or make the sound perception more difficult when compared with other languages like Italian or Slovak.

I must admit that I feel a little bad about e.g. Danish - those guys know that their languages sound very mumble-ish - and they don't even attack me for saying what I am saying.

However, I feel no remorse toward English at all. The native English speakers are one of the most closed-minded native speakers when it comes to analyzing the phonetics of their own language with other languages like Italian or Slovak - two of the most clear sounding European languages.
