  • Specifically in the case of Japanese language, the current orthography highly depends on the use of kanji to remove ambiguities from a purely phonetic notation in either kana system.

    As a side note, Korean language also used to be written with hanja (Chinese characters) mixed in with hangul (native phonetic alphabet). The shift from mixed hangul-hanja notation to pure hangul was gradual and the major contribution that made it possible was the modernized orthography rules that allows visual differentiation of homophones when written down while adding some complexity. It's not perfect, but it works.

    So, while many argue that kanji is essential to Japanese or hanja needs to be reintroduced in Korean for examples cited, I think the definitive reason is that the japanese speakers themselves doesn't feel the overwhelming need to switch right now. If they chose to introduce a purely kana orthography and had enough funding and political will, that's how they will roll.

  • It really grinds my gears. Why does my bank insist on installing an app to approve transactions, and why does that app have a huge background video playing every time i open it? It really should consist of an MFA code generator.

  • To be honest, I am tempted to use one of the edgier domain names in my CV just to see their reaction. I'm tired of faking everything's perfect just so the crazies at LinkedIn doesn't send my cv to trash bin.

  • My workplace insists on using dot net classic to recreate a twenty years old VB app that should be able to drink, vote, and drive.

    Please send help. SQL queries are a spaghetti mess and all the original devs are probably gone or dead.

  • Emails like user@cocaine.ninja is fine for random internet shitposting, but if I had to use cockmail for anything involving real life responsibilities I'd go for domains like airmail.cc or firemail.cc at registration.

  • Does Google allow de-linking between accounts that were linked previously, then? I've seen people holding into a Google account just because it's keeping hostage other accounts they actually care about.

  • OP: Hello. Here is something useful that searches for alternate front ends that are operational when you need to access privacy invasive services.

    ITT: throws a fit because it lets someone to do something they don't like

    This is why us privacy conscious folks are labeled freaks and weirds. Not because we reject privacy invasive services, but we can't deal with anything that isn't absolutely perfect.

  • The .onion means it's an onion service. This requires a Tor connection both for the host and the users. And frankly, hosting an onion service is not exactly easy to do it right, due to additional security considerations. Many self hosting guides assume a typical residential connection or a rented VPS without an onion service.
