TLDR (3/3):

By stripping hashtags away, platforms reclaim the power to decide what’s visible, what’s trending, & what deserves attention. The internet becomes tidier, yes — but also less transparent, less spontaneous, & less human.

Why platforms are killing the hashtag Today I write in anticipatory nostalgia for the cornerstone of a more democratic internet—one which is slowly being stolen from us.

Once a cornerstone of online democracy, the humble hashtag is quietly vanishing — and with it, a little piece of user power, says @etymology.substack.com.web.brid.gy.

Medieval Tales of Merlin and Arthur, Hidden for Centuries, Return to Light Cambridge University researchers found a manuscript with rare Arthurian tales bound into a ledger more than 400 years old and used advanced technology to reveal its contents.

"There are fewer than 40 copies of the Suite Vulgate sequel known to exist, & no two are exactly the same."

Reminder to #textualists that text isn't magically given but requires #hermeneutic judgment too.

An bhliain seo, thosaigh mé Sean-Ghaeilge i mí Eanáir, agus déanfaidh mé í an téarma seo (críochnóidh an téarma i mí Bealtaine).

Yearly reminder that in Mac you can keep a key pressed down to see a menu with diacritical variants, eg: e è é ê ë ě ẽ ē ė ę

Great for many European languages!

yo #langksy and you can apparently also contribute with your language commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/languages !! Some languages have an incredible amount of hours in recordings already, but others not as much (plus, each speaker and accent is still a new challenge)

Been away from working on any conlangs for a while but recently had the urge to come back to my notes document on one. Read a blurb I had about intransitives and the way the subject would be marked in it and cringed at how poorly I understood unergative and labile lol

天使明智ってかなり当たり前なネタだと思うが、金田一イラストの中にめったにない。多分それは、天使が無邪気な存在だとおもわれるかな？確かに明智はそんな天使には似合わない😅でも天罰に与える天使には凄く似合ってると思っていませんか？
(Gist: Akechi is rarely drawn as an angel probably b/c many ppl's image of angels is cutesy & innocent, but I think he very much has a "shining light of divine justice" vibe.)
