       Latin nerds, I need you!Offering Elvish nerdery in return 👇Trying to translate "keep it secret – keep it safe" to #Latin, which I know is tricksy. Looking at verbs like servare and conservare, and adjectives for "safe" like tutus/salvus/securus...??If you can help, I will write your phrase of choice in Tengwar (Elvish script)! Here's a sample of one way I write it – though I'll do straight lines 😅I'll write them on a livestream and link image files for you.// #linguistics #LOTR #Tolkien

       Honestly surprised that I can't find a full translation of LotR to Latin! There's one of The Hobbit: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/hobbitus-ille-the-latin-hobbit-j-r-r-tolkienAnd a few seemingly abandoned projects: https://web.archive.org/web/20150123220432/https://www.eldalie.ch/~earendilyon/Plus a couple of short clips: https://youtu.be/2FQWhPfhRwU...but yeah, nope :0

       This will be our first attempted Fedi livestream, which is why there isn't a video in that channel yet :)When things settle down after the end of the month, I'll drop in some/all previous episodes as well!

       I met a traveler from an antique land,Who said, "Two houses, both alike in dig—Hang on. I'm here for Shakespeare? If you can...""Next door," sighed I, and cursed this Shelley gig.

       Good LORD, this infuriates me... One of those tiny things that represents a much grander scale of patronizing decisions that nudge us constantly toward more marketable options, while effectively erasing access to anything MILDLY niche (especially when combined with vanishing results – like how it's somehow become way harder to find song lyrics at all).Insert rest of rant I'm tired and y'all already know https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@ghosttie/116666775029471340

       I just don't get it! I want *tools*, not the machine version of an over-familiar, nosy, incompetent meddler.I don't want every site to be an open-plan office, the signal drowned in suggested answers to questions I didn't ask!Everybody's nostalgic for Clippy now, but we still know the nameless fury that arises when you're just trying to Do Something and some "friendly" thing interrupts to make wrong assumptions & give bad advice based on them!We already knew this!!! Aaarrrggghhhhhh!!!!

       *fgsfds.jpg* AND ANOTHER THINGI don't want UIs that respond and adapt to my needsI want the pen to be where I put it I want the ruler to be where I put it I want the cup to be where I put it I want the fork to be where I put it IHumans are INCREDIBLY good at mapping prostheses!It's what we DO: adapt to tools as extensions of our bodies – so that using them becomes seamless, their quirks etched into muscle memory, effortless as reflex.I had PROPRIOCEPTION for that and you MOVED IT
