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?

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!

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)
đĒ Danilo
What languages do you speak? Have you considered learning some other constructed language at the time? Maybe lojban?

running an os other than chrome os
đĒ 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.

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
đĒ Danilo
What do you mean? Running linux programs on the laptop or running an OS other than chrome OS?

$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 :-)

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.

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.

How much did it cost!?

@lucian I can't post a repeated message even on different threads. Do you think it'll become an issue as users use common phrases?

Cool! It runs on a single VPS instance?

@lucian I wonder what technologies are behind the site. Would you care to explain a little? :)

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.
đĒ Danilo
Do you think it's still worth trying? Or just quit the mainstream stuff?

Oh, boy. I wonder if people will start implementing these features as browser extensions.
