how it feels to say “jajajaja” in hispanic chats, “XDDDD” in polish chats, “KKKKKK” in portuguese chats, and “LMAOOO” in english-speaking chats

"Brazilian Portuguese" is the "original" PT language: Camões verses only work, meter-wise, in "Brazilian PT".
Today's vowell-omitting Lisbon dialect is a different creature. But "international Portuguese" taught everywhere is Brazilian, phonologically, grammarly and prosody-wise

@kardiaphagy Is numbness enlightenment? Is it not more human to struggle?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Connecting young people to digital networks serves no purpose if they remain disconnected from themselves, others, and their own interiority. We must help young people rediscover silence, reflection, the ability to ask questions, the depth of relationships, and openness to transcendence. To listen to the soul, we must lend an ear, because the soul's voice is not a shout, but a whisper.

@TechnicalBben Not only that, it also says a lot about him that he treats electricity and water as a commodity to be sold instead of a basic human right.

finding out the artemis ii astronauts talked with poets and studied poetry so they knew how to properly convey what they were seeing in words and saying that the arts played a huge role in their time in space. oh my god

LLMs have convincingly demonstrated that coding is the easiest activity, maths is medium hard, and having taste is the hardest

Big Tech’s “threaten everything beautiful, while immiserating you, ruining your opportunity to work, rendering you servile and dependent forever” campaign is for some reason not a huge hit with the young.

committing seppuku (ritual suicide) with my wakizashi (small sword) because I failed my daimyo (feudal lord) by crashing his Nissan Pulsar (untranslatable)

meu conselho mais genuíno e afetuoso pra você que é como eu, que adora ficar dentro de casa, em profunda introspecção, luz baixa, silêncio, sem interação e pode fazer isso com muita facilidade é: sai de casa. bota essa cara na rua.

localization discourse sucks because if you dislike a bad translation 90% of your allies are going to be neo nazis who hate everything

[Zenju @Zenju__]

@VLONESENSHI @BananaLinks_V IMO that'd be totally fine if we had redubbed voiceovers

[Zenju @Zenju__]

@VLONESENSHI @BananaLinks_V Yeah. Maybe it's because their conversation wouldn't carry over at all. They're talking about how Ingrid's speech mannerisms (only present in Japanese) is similar to one of their friends. So I guess the localization had to figure out something wholly different for them to relate
