‘Yr Wyddor Gymraeg’ (the Welsh alphabet), a 17.5 x 25.5 cm linocut on 145 gsm Zerkall paper. Unlike the English alphabet, yr wyddor Gymraeg has no letter K, Q, V, X, or Z, and in contrast again yn Gymraeg the following are all individual letters: Ch, Dd, Ff, Ng, Ll, Ph, Rh, and Th. Ff is pronounced like the English F, and Welsh F like the English V.

Bob Dewhurst of Sign Language, hand-painted example of signpainters’ “drop casual”. Handwritten on back: “‘Drop Casual’ because of how you end the horizontals by twisting the brush off downwards… all the guys at New Bohemia Signs (@nbsigns) basically use this same one.” #SignPainting #Lettering #Alphabet

Silly letters lol

C'est marrant, en regardant les nouvelles apps dans #Fdroid, je découvre régulièrement des trucs.
Par exemple, Pocket ReadLex est une app de lexique anglo-shavian. C'est quoi le #shavien ? Un #alphabet #phonétique anglais, financé selon son souhait après sa mort par George Bernard Shaw (d'où le nom) pour permettre une écriture sans digramme, lettre muette et autres complications.

Big Tech is digital colonialism, siphoning creativity and exploiting consumers for profit while deepening inequality. These corporations treat individuals as mere resources in their relentless pursuit of profit.

When will you rise up against their exploitation? Just look at the damage they cause!

I am glad to be able to join @article19's #DMA Enforcement Symposium today; plenty of #competition experts here for me to discuss the impact of the #DOJ's recommendation to break up #Google

The #Filipino (formal) greeting in different scripts:

1. Standard Latin/Roman: Mabuhay! (ma-bu-ha-y)
2. #Baybayin / #Surat / #Suyat ( #Tagalog variant): ᜋᜊᜓᜑᜌ᜔
3. Mabuhay #Hangeul: 마부하이 (Hangeul for Filipino #language use)

Man, Google really has some Audacity

They changed the default hold power function to be a shortcut to Assistant, and this seems to be recommended on not just their Pixels, but other OEMs phones

I have to help non-tech people learn how to turn off their phone??? After they hijacked the default behavior from decades of hardware technology UX to juice their nonfunctional over engineered NLP voice timer?????

YouTube: Would you agree that ads on YouTube are relevant to you?

Me: Given that I’m not a white supremacist nor am I anti LGBTQ and am not fond of having hate speech played to me in the form of “ads,” no I wouldn’t agree that they are relevant to me.

(P.S. I have repeatedly reported the ads for hate speech. YouTube doesn’t care. They like the yummy ad revenue that comes from hate groups harassing minorities through their ad system.)
