I can't be arsed to write the pronunciation in IPA. Just go on Google Translate to hear how it's pronounced or learn Welsh on Duolingo.

Da iawn, rwyt ti'n gallu siarad / ysgrifennu Cymraeg nawr / rŵan! :)

I'm still learning Welsh, so this might contain mistakes, but it's better than saying you don't understand her... For future reference, you know.

Edit: Meant to reply to the comment below me.

I'm just adding an additional source, because I just recently read about this way of using the forward slash to create abbreviations. English Language & Usage has a good post on Stackexchange. Wikipedia says they are used for "two-letter initialisms" (a type of abbreviation). Wikipedia also provides some more examples, see here.

You'll need long eyeballs to use them, though.

Thanks for the idea. I tried Handbrake to decrease the video quality and it seemed to work well. Also, getting rid of audio also gets rid of a big chunk of data, decreasing the file size.

Top left, blinds down, is obviously a vampire.

I found peertube.io which has an unlimited upload quota... I think?

Okay, I might give PeerTube another try.

Just don't add any random numbers to the name, which I see you haven't done, so I think you're good.

Thank you. I've tried it on desktop and I like it. I'm looking for a phone app for this use case (such as translating product labels when shopping).

Thank you, looks promising!

Thanks for this. I'm looking for a phone app, sorry for not specifying that. I run stock Android so using GT might be the least of my privacy concerns, though... I can't make the switch to a de-googled phone (Pixel and GrapheneOS) yet because money. Technically I could try LineageOS, but I'm afraid of bricking my phone.

TIL that there is such a thing as the right STD

I keep seeing references to RICO in The Sopranos. Was too lazy to google. Makes a lot of sense now, reading these explanations.

It's there to piss you off.

Joke's on them, I don't want Youtube recommendations anyway. I just search for the stuff I want and subscribe to the channels I like. Besides, I've made my Youtube front page blank with CSS to avoid all the spam.

Ok. I can see the pic here as well.

I don't know but you're better off using MusicBee anyway.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't realize you made these.

Thanks!
