So if you talk to non-Gerudo NPCs around the Gerudo Desert in Breath of the Wild, you'll notice a common theme: they all have trouble with words like "sav'aaq," "sav'saava," etc. One of them will actually explain to you how to make the /v/ sound.
This leads me to believe that the sound /v/ does not exist in Hylian, which would make sense as Hylian is often just Japanese with a different coat of paint (see: Old Hylian text in Wind Waker).
Anyway, that was a fun thing I noticed and wanted to share.

maple classic™ 
mastodon feature to let people follow your public posts regardless of you allowing them to follow you or not is long overdue
i want to let people follow my public posts but i want to filter who sees my follower-only posts
lists could work for this but oops you can only add people you follow... i don't really get why
come on folks, please?

@Jacel @emanate @KawaSeadrake I still want a MUCK system that plays nice with modern smartphones.

Wait, Facebook is literally pushing a VPN solution that claims to "protect" you?
A VPN that sends all your traffic through facebook's servers
How dumb do they thin... 33 million installs... Okay they might be right about how dumb people are

Just received a work email with an attached spreadsheet that supposedly will instruct me.
The spreadsheet just has a single, orange highlighted cell filled with the words "please help".
Easily my favorite part of cryptocurrency news is watching people reinvent automated forms of things the SEC explicitly forbids

Diane Duane is one of my favorite authors, and so I pass this on. All their ebooks are on sale, and there’s also a paypal address provided.

An unexpected financial shortfall has left us in danger of losing our home. Would you consider buying a sale-priced #ebook to help us out? http://dianeduane.com/outofambit/a-difficult-appeal/

politics
One of the weirder things that I think about after looking at a lot of satellite photography is that...Is the regulations for new housing/general construction in America _actually too stringent_?
In all seriousness, if you look at a lot of new cities overseas, they just kinda...build multistory buildings before the roads are even in, and when I look around my own city, I see buildings lying vacant because either permits have to arrive or labor isn't available.
meta, abuse
How can one talk discuss persistent, long-term patterns of abusive behavior from someone who has themselves become a target of widespread abuse? The need to defend someone facing abuse sometimes gives abusers cover of their own, and that looks like a hard problem and it keeps me up at night sometimes.
Is a Hot Pocket a meat pie?
@Finfell@dragon.style @frameacloud Low-effort brain excreta that doesn’t really express a concept the author wants to defend or take seriously, just to express - sometimes for social contact purposes, sometimes to relieve an urge to speak, sometimes to just get it out of one’s mind.
“Slackpost” is an alternative, although Slack as a platform is unfortunately ambiguity-generating.

@salameleon What the fuck? Why does this event organizer think it’s a good policy idea to let their event be extorted into compliance?

NES cartridges will be shipped out to kickstarter backers very soon, and once this is finished they will be available for sale.
