  • That's their end goal: no choice whatsoever, you watch 30 minutes of ads, followed by the 30 second video the algorithm wants you to watch (which is also an ad), 30 more minutes of ads, and so on.

    And, since they also own chrome, you can't go to any other page without first spending at least six hours watching youtube.

  • One letter for one sound is a lot less complicated ðan two letters representing two sounds.

    Most languages that use alphabets have digraphs representing different sounds than their composing letters. It's trivial to understand that ‘th’ represents a different sound than ‘t’ or ‘h’.

    Most sane languages, on the other hand, don't use the same letter or digraph to represent half a dozen different sounds (and when they do they use diacritic marks to distinguish them... which English only uses, without explanation, in borrowed words like fiancé or façade, which might actually be more confusing to native speakers than to ESL ones), or half a dozen letters and digraphs to represent the same sound.

    you clearly didn't check my profile

    I've got enough of a headache from deciphering your posts, thank you

    asshats

    Pot, kettle...

  • They can be written now though

    Yeah..? Then tell me why in fuck's name (or should it be facks?) ‘oo’ can represent six different sounds (food, book, door, blood, cooperation, brooch), for instance, and how to tell them apart, or why the letters ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘o’, ‘aa’, and ‘ea’ are used to represent the same exact sound in the words father, sergeant, body, bazaar, and heart...

    Let me assure you that this nonsense is many orders of magnitude more confusing to people learning English as a second language than the ‘th’ shit!

  • Tankie: far right lunatic who delusionally believes they're a communist (or trollingly roleplays as what they believe one to be), despite defending authoritarian oligarchic states like Russia or China.

    For instance, the Lemmy devs (and lemmy.ml admins).
