🧉 Martin I speak some German, and I'm *slowly* learning Hebrew. Lojban never interested me much, but I'd love to learn a bit of Volapuk. I've dabbled in Toki Pona, which I'd like to put some more time into as I have friends who can speak it well. Toki Pona is considered the "sekreta lingvo inter Esperantistoj" (secret language for Esperanto speakers), since Esperanto quickly loses that attribute during Esperanto gatherings :) How about you?
đŸĒ Danilo Hadn't heard of volapuk before! Nice. I speak portuguese and started learning a bit of german on duolingo a while ago; I dropped studying it(for now) so I only know a phrase or two. Still, I find it so cool to see how similar it is to english; I didn't experience/don't remember/experienced in a different way when learning english!

🧉 Martin A few years ago I decided to learn Esperanto (the constructed language). I now spend anywhere from a few hours to a few days per week speaking it with friends from around the world. AMA :) (or just shake your head disapprovingly)
đŸĒ Danilo What languages do you speak? Have you considered learning some other constructed language at the time? Maybe lojban?

đŸŽŖ Fish running an os other than chrome os
đŸĒ Danilo I'm sure it is *possible*, but not easy. IIRC a dude used to make custom chromebook firmwares but I don't think it's maintained anymore. I'd suggest trying out crostini first, which can run different OS's in VMs and containers.

đŸŽŖ Fish has anyone converted a chromebook to linux? trying to fuck around with mine as a side project and wondering if anyone has experience or suggestions
đŸĒ Danilo What do you mean? Running linux programs on the laptop or running an OS other than chrome OS?

😀 Tom $100, so probably not worth it. Oh well. I'll try to make the most of it. Apple officially supports up to OS X 10.7 (Lion), but apparently there are hacks to get later OS versions on it. If worse comes to worst, I'll just throw Linux on it :-)
đŸĒ Danilo You read my mind :)

đŸĒ Danilo I logged in to twitter after months(years?) without doing a good scroll on the timeline. I felt overwhelmed. I had forgotten I used to use that and it's interesting to see how my use of social media has changed.

😀 Tom I couldn't tell how old it was or the specs at the store. There was no mouse or keyboard. I could just power it on and it went to the desktop quickly enough, so I decided it was worth the risk. I'm not sure what I'll do with it, so I'll probably just donate it to my Scout troop once I upgrade what I can.
đŸĒ Danilo How much did it cost!?

đŸĒ Danilo I can't post a repeated message even on different threads. Do you think it'll become an issue as users use common phrases?
🐨 James S. Interesting.
đŸ’ģ Kernel I think it promotes originality. We don't want this space to become an echo chamber do we?

🏒 Lucian Marin is powered by Falcon web framework, Django ORM, Jinja2, PostgreSQL, PgBouncer, Gunicorn, Nginx and few other Python libraries. A high frequency Vultr VPS running a bare bones Ubuntu Server makes things fly.
đŸĒ Danilo Cool! It runs on a single VPS instance?

🔮 Liv It dangles the promise of connecting with other people and ruins any chance of that happening by making both parties do it on a global stage.
đŸĒ Danilo Do you think it's still worth trying? Or just quit the mainstream stuff?

🔮 Liv Uh oh, just saw a personality I hate on here. I want a soft-mute feature.
đŸĒ Danilo Oh, boy. I wonder if people will start implementing these features as browser extensions.
