I thought the proposal to call them majority world countries was interesting.

Yeah I got called a narcissist with my worst ex and then just flat out asked if they knew what it meant, I think it was a little telling they didn’t actually know (not that I do either lol). It’s really hard being with someone who makes you feel loved but doesn’t love you and I’m so proud of you for being on the other side of it and being happy!

As everyone has said, lossless compression might not have great ratios, but if it’s still worth it I recommend dwarfs as it creates read only mountable filesystems with minimal setup https://github.com/mhx/dwarfs

Nah it makes sense

This is fantastic! The system seems pretty well optimized for your use case which is hard to do when working with something so unique, although maybe the 5 tone characters should look more different. I like really like the final look being somewhat like devanagari even if it shares none of the letters. You should be very proud of your work!

I second this! It’s extremely unique and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a conlang where the method of articulation is so different but still very reasonable as a concept, if you’re looking for inspiration I recommend silbo gomero from the canary Islands as it is a whistled form of Spanish.

Yeah, it almost looks like you’d be able to run things faster than natively on windows, which is why I’m suspicious (not that it’s a lie just that the numbers lack context). It doesn’t say what the numbers represent I think?

God damn I’m genuinely impressed

I haven’t heard anything about David Attenborough talking about plant based stuff so I won’t dispute it but he did help found and fund the zoology museum in my town, one that specifically tries to educate people on the dangers of climate change and making species endangered. From what I’ve seen of his filming they’re pretty conscious about not leaving any waste behind too.

Yeah I saw that script in the photo, it looks very strange and there aren’t really any scripts at the moment that look like that for a number of reasons, but still could be interesting. As for the art though, I’m a real sucker for descriptions of drawn science/history with neographic writing.

This is sick! I’ve seen a lot of systems inspired by this style before and it’s obvious why😁. I think it’s cool that the individual letters have lots of detail but also form very interesting calligraphy like shapes when together. I assume theres no meaning but still the style is to be admired.

Yeah it’s still widely known

Criticism and hate are two different things. I hate windows, I can criticise parts of arch Linux which is so far my favourite OS. Me not liking part of it or the way it works doesn’t mean there’s another version that is completely perfect and I should just shut up and use that. Also no it doesn’t suck, but updating my system and having it break is a problem I should not be having.

But if lots of people use it wrong and break it then maybe it’s too obtuse. I broke one of my applications by upgrading packages. The solution? Install the package again, I thought the package manager would take care of stuff like that but if it’s meant to be me then I think it’s a bad system.

I broke my install by updating it, I get that if you perfectly understand what’s going on then it has no bugs but that’s really not my experience. A lot of the time something will break and it’s easy to say “I should’ve known it was this so it’s my fault” but really if you didn’t expect it to work a certain way and it breaks it’s not a super stable system.

A lot of them

काश यह सच होता 😭 Nah I’m from the UK and the test is really strange and involves a lot of stuff important to my parents and laws in parts of the country I’ve never been to so pretty much studying is mandatory.

I failed the citizenship test for my country by a wide margin 😥. Guess imma be deported for not knowing about cricket 40 years ago

I don’t think you could call the grass and object since it’s not a 3d model, it’s a bunch of 2d images stacked on top of each other at a high enough resolution that it looks like a real line from above. The way you draw in these 2d images is via a shader as you wouldn’t do it on the CPU. (Not a graphics engineer just an amateur programmer so don’t fully trust my word on it)
