Peter Link 🍉🇨🇺🇵🇸🐧

This is a #graphic that I came up with a few years ago. It has the slogan in 7 languages: #Spanish, #Arabic, #Hebrew, #English, #Esperanto, #Farsi, and #French.

I just had a vendor on Etsy make me a few #tshirts with it, and if you want one for yourself let me know. (I don't make or sell them, only the vendor does.)

An Inhabitant of Carcosa

Moving hosts from emacs.ch, time for a new #introduction.

I'm old and disgusted with the squandered/co-opted promise of the WWW. We were going to make something good with it. Instead I'm on #Gemini and back on #Gopher. I program in a mainstream language for work, and so write weird stuff mostly in #CommonLisp for fun.

I'm an old #goth and love the aesthetics and literature of the fin de siècle. I also love #horror but I'm much more well-versed in horror #literature than film.

If I talk about politics, it will be more about issues, events, and theory than about elections and politicians.

I lighten up my dark aesthetic and poke a ray of hope through my despair by watching #StarTrek. Yes, of course #DeepSpaceNine (#DS9) is my favorite series. I study #tlhInganHol for fun, but I'm not very good at it. tawmeyDaq vulqangan, tlhImmeyDaq tlhIngan.

I post mostly in #English, read posts in Spanish, French, and tlhInganHol; will machine-translate posts in other languages that look interesting. Toots are deleted after a month unless pinned or active.

Interesting. According to Brent Spiner (the actor who plays the android Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation)

1) it was Patrick Stewart's UK pronunciation of his character's name (day-tah instead of the US's dah-tah) that made this pronunciation canon, and

2) the character of Data and the popularity of Star Trek has led to "day-tah" now being the common pronunciation in the US, too.

Pour la migration, je vais me faire une vraie #introduction :

Bonjour à tous,
Je suis Pseudo Curious, explorateur du fédiverse, amoureux des #hibou. Je n'aime pas les #poubelle et les #voiture.
Je suis avant tout actif sur #Lemmy mais il y manque certains sujets qui sont discutés sur la partie microblog du #fediverse. Notamment les #asiandrama. C'est aussi l'endroit le plus pratique pour accéder aux contenus des autres logiciels du fédiverse.
Je m'amuse beaucoup à essayer les possibilités de la #fédiversion. Et découvrir des sujets et des passe-temps nouveaux.

I wrote in #french, #english and every other languages that's available on automatic translator. That's also my trick to read your posts from all languages.

I keep trying to tell folks that “*literally*” is just the latest in a long line of words that initially meant “in actual fact, no hyperbole” but soon became hyperbolic intensifiers but it’s *really, truly, very* hard for them to accept ;-)

...

because I'm a #linguistics word nerd, after I wrote that quip, I went and checked the history of all four of those really-not-really intensifiers:

*very*: Meaning "greatly, extremely" is first recorded mid-15c

*really*: The general sense is from early 15c. Purely emphatic use dates from c. 1600

*truly*: from Old English treowlice "faithful, trustworthy", The sense of "consistent with fact" is recorded from c. 1200; it's hard to tell when it became a generic intensifier but "Yours truly" is from 1833 so it's probably around or before then

*literally*: Since late 17c. it has been used in metaphors, hyperbole, etc

So not only are snoots wrong that the unforgiveable degradation of "literally" is recent, they are also wrong that it is unprecedented. It seems to be a natural effect in #English, and maybe in every other human language -- let's call it the Hyperbolic Treadmill, like the Euphemism Treadmill ; other suggestions welcome in comments
