I am part of a niche community where people create languages either from scratch [a.k.a. ๐—ฎ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ] (see: Dothraki) or through theoretical evolution [a.k.a. ๐—ฎ ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ] (e.g. what if Norman French had no influence on English). I will be presenting a piece during our biennial Language Creation Conference in April on how to naturalistically evolve a writing system. The conference is a two-day virtual event. I believe the live stream will be open to the public.

My missus and I have arrived at the conclusion that her dad is in an irreversible decline of health. She will most likely need to travel to Germany by herself. If flights didn't cost as much as a used car, we would all go. It sucks.

@Alfred what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I'm so happy I found this place. All I did was check that other place for two seconds and immediately I was bombarded with videos and tweets that riled me up. The minute I realized it I deactivated my account. I'm done. Glad to be home.

Look him up on YouTube if you haven't already. He is a multi-instrumentalist who produces amazing covers and music videos of popular songs.

@DMArt55555 made me think of Leo with that post about Metallica.

Question for the security conscious:

I currently use Google Authenticator and I'm ready to jump ship to an alternative. What do you recommend?

I wish I weren't so darn intimidated by . I often feel like I am way behind the power curve and have this mental block that makes me feel like I can't do it. I know enough to understand that I know so little; but in contrast I jumped into the IT/IA realm feet first without looking back and have been very successful, so I know I have what it takes. It's a weird dichotomy.

Just finished out a date with the wifey. It was the first time we have been able to go out on Valentine's Day since we had kids. Much fun, food, and drink was had.

That is all.

@PR4UK @DMArt55555

That sounds so petty and counterintuitive to me.

@DMArt55555

Would you be willing to relocate to HI? If I could get some info on what you're looking for, I might know a few peeps. Feel free to DM me.

@PR4UK @DMArt55555

It also helps that there is the lack of gaslighting bots and trolls. It's nice to open up a social media site to see friendly discourse, meaningful questions, and silly jokes.

...nearly as many people into conlanging here than in the Fediverse...

I smashed my shortcut keys before I could finish!

@DMArt55555

Well, I have a unique hobby/side job, so the people I interact with on the Fediverse are also share my passion for linguistics and invented languages. It's highly unlikely that there are nearly as many people here than in the Fediverse.
