If you put a "s" in front of the "sh" in chivalry, they turn into a "k" like in schism

Jump

  • It does? How do you figure?

    That would just be a miss-spelling of chivalry.

    Written English is descriptive - it's describes an existing sound.

    "Chivalry" is a loan word from French, which is why it's pronounced with the "S" sound, as French itself is influenced by the S/K sound division from centuries(?) earlier.

    Your complaint about consistency is because English is the most syncretic language - it arguably has more loanwords than most other languages have words.

  • You act like language is planned (other than Esperanto).

    No language is consistent.

  • Hahahahahaha, that's some funny shit right there.

  • There's no logical difference?

    My particular health risks would beg to differ.

    There's differences, but basing your opionion of someone on their race (bigotry and racism) is "philistine, backward thinking".

    • What movie(s) did you watch 10+ times and offered something new with each view?

    Jump

  • My Fair Lady

    History of the World, Part I

    Any/every Hitchcock movie.

    • Humanity will likely survive climate change, but the vast majority of humans won't.

    Jump

  • Lol, OK.

    • For people running a family chat in their #selfhosted #homelab: What is the system with the best mobile experience (both Android and iOS)? I've been using mattermost, but my family is not super

    Jump

  • Snikket seems to be the "best" XMPP client for iOS. It's worked well for me, and I found from a recommendation by my XMPP host.

    • If Aliens came to Earth, would we not have as much of a language chellenge as they would do with us? Also like in Mars Attacks how would we know that we aren't saying lets go to War?

    Jump

  • I think history would beg to differ.

    • Android Work Profile- permissions/access

    Jump

  • Carry 2 devices.

    They shouldn't be able to see what's in your main profile, as everything is in the encrypted partition of the work profile (both profile partitions are encrypted).

    I treat my phones the same as my laptop - one for work, one for personal.

    • Addressing the backlash: American Eagle is clarifying that their Sydney Sweeney ad was only intended to make people masturbate

    Jump

  • It was only a nod in the brains of people looking for shit.

    The "good jeans" joke has been a thing for numerous decades.

    You're only reading into it because you want to be offended.

    • Looking for a BMP picture that was common on Windows 3.1(1) (woman wearing hat)

    Jump

  • Wow, I don't remember this at all.

    I'll have to dig out my old Windows cds

    • Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise

    Jump

  • Lol

    • Hidden Backdoor Found in ATM Network via Raspberry Pi

    Jump

  • attackers had physical access to a network switch

    physically connected a Raspberry Pi device to a network switch shared with an ATM. Equipped with a 4G modem, the device allowed attackers to remotely access the bank’s internal network over mobile data, completely bypassing perimeter firewalls.

    Well, no shit. If you don't have physical security, you don't have any security. This is like security 101.

    • A possible way to host "stuff" which is meant for a small community?

    Jump

  • Resilio Sync has an option for selective sync - it'll only sync files that a person selects.

    It can be set read only (read/write is determined by the key someone is given, plus you can enable an approval mechanism and expiry of a key).

    Not sure that really fits your use-case.

    • Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.

    Jump

  • Hahahaha

    • You park in the empty end of the parking lot to avoid parking next to people, and when you return someone has parked next to you

    Jump

  • Hate people who do this.

    • GE dishwasher blowing up boards

    Jump

  • Yep, my washing machine and dryer are from 2005. Old fashioned electro-mechanical timer dial. Hmm, maybe I should go find a replacement part now, then it'll last 30 more years.

    You could run your dishwasher with a few relays/contactors and a simple timer. No reason for it to use a circuit board.

    • Colorado State University to install 12 billboards, ignoring ordinance that prohibits such signs everywhere else in Fort Collins

    Jump

  • Ya know, I'm generally not for this kind of thing, but in this case you have my approval.

    Need some spray paint?

    • Scientists look to black holes to know exactly where we are in the Universe. But phones and wifi are blocking the view

    Jump

  • Right.

    Because microwave interconnects, which have been everywhere for decades, even before digital cell - every tall building, tower, etc, have nothing to do with it.

    Radio noise grew exponentially long before cell phones and wifi.

    But it's phones 🤦🏼
