Continued thread

how could we possibly know the ancient Romans said it like this?! well, it's simple! they were truly more advanced than many medieval european civs in many ways, which included leaving a lot of texts. someof the texts give VERY precise examples of how they spoke, how words were pronounced, etcetera. pretty neat, right?!

Greetings! I've moved instances so now it's time to rewrite an #intro

I love #languages #linguistics and #etymology. I'm hesitant to list what languages I study as my interests tend to shift, but I know a few phrases in some European languages. Speaking is the hardest part of using a language given that darn real-time compilation aspect, so it's safe to say reading is the easiest to get a grasp of. I've really gotten in to #Latin of late thanks to my dealings with learning plant species.

Speaking of which, I'm also really into #NativePlants, #ReWilding and #Permaculture. I've spent over the past 2 years converting my traditional American hellscape of a lawn into a recovering (thriving, even?) ecosystem of native plants. It's not much, but it's work 🧑‍🌾🚜 Currently I'm tracking over 110 species I've either transplanted or nurtured. How am I tracking that? Well, I'm also into #SoftwareEngineering

For that project, I just built a simple, local CRUD webapp with some mapping functionality for logging where I plant things, how they're doing and some basic info about them. Outside of work I work on a lot of small projects like the one above, but they've all felt so much more interesting than the work I get paid to do. That's how life goes, I suppose. Anyway, brief list of what I've built: DIY 6 Zone Automated Sprinkler system with ball valves (!) controlled by an ESP32 running ESPHome, A local webapp that (among other things) uses diceware to create unique passwords, A Slack bot for friends that admins a game of Cards Against Humanity, I built a web scraper service for a local nonprofit to better collect municipality permit data, I've gone through 3 iterations of installing 5v LED strips on a bike of mine to stay visible, I've probably written countless automations in #HomeAssistant. One thing remains true for most of my projects: I always end up overengineering the solution lol. It's a double-edged sword, but I'm trying to either embrace it or learn when to avoid it, depending on my mood for that day.

Last, let's talk about reading. I love #SciFi, but primarily #HardSciFi. Anything where there's more focus on the technology being used. Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Greg Egan, Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy. Always eager to take some book recommendations.

Anyway, I think that's enough of an intro to satisfy the Mastodon.

New #introduction post!

I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.

My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.

I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)

When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.

I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.

I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.

Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!

Au début de sa descente aux enfers par la face nord, HFT parle #latin enfin du latin de cuisine... Au milieu ça dit "profanum vulgus et scium je sais pas koi... Omnes que barbari psychologi sociologi politiki economiki fliki..." mais j'arrive pas à bien comprendre, encore moins le début et la fin ni à trouver ça sur internet. Quelqun-e l'aurait en écrit ou saurait traduire ? J'imagine un peu le sens mais je serais content de préciser ...

@hist_myth peut-être (si je te sollicite trop souvent tu me dis einh 🙏🙂🕊️) ... ?

Eyo, that #Euro #Latin connect needs to get up and going.

The #EU should definetely be reaching out to #LatinAmerica, and Latin America should definetely be reaching out to the EU - as well as the #baltics, the #nordics, etc.

Trade must be done, but quality must be kept. Increasing the living and production #standards so that #Europe is happy (by synchronizing those friggin #regulations) means that we can open up the #trade valves.

Let the yankies eat pink slime.
No offence, @georgetakei .

I forget who it was (and didn't bookmark the post) who coined or at least introduced me to the Latin abbreviation, "etm." which stands for et merda, and translates to "and shit," but I am gratefully passing it on to you.

I really really want to see this somewhere mainstream someday.

From Gabriel Bodard over on Bluesky:

"#SunoikisisDC session tomorrow: Analysing and Visualising Text, with Kaspar Beelen (University of London) & Megan Bushnell (Oxford Text Archive)."

ics.sas.ac.uk/events/sunoikisi

"This session introduces theory and practice of various digital methods for the exploration, analysis and visualisation of historical texts. We begin with theoretical discussion of quantitative, stylistic and computational linguistic approaches to text analysis, defining terms, some history of the discipline, and an overview of tools and codebases available. The second half of the session is a practical demonstration of using the Voyant Tools reading and analysis environment, showing examples in English, #Latin and #Greek and some of the visulaisation modules in #Voyant. We end with a suggested exercise for students to take away and try in their own time, and a general discussion."

Präsidialdekret Nr. 32.708: "Das neue, wahre Latein"

Wie bei topografisch-geografischen Bezeichnungen hat der US-Präsident nun auch die Lateinische Sprache korrigiert. Die Neuregelung ist von allen Anbietern von Textdatenbanken oder Übersetzungstools wie Google u.a. zu beachten. Auch bei KI-Diensten muss das neue LLM (Latin Language Model) verwendet werden.

Einige wichtige Beispiele der 188 Korrekturen zeigt die folgende Grafik.
