Currently re-playing Assassin’s Creed 1 and playing Vanilla WoW for the first time on a private server.

Im remembering how much I liked AC1. I know many people say it wasnt that great of a game, but to me its exactly what an Assassin’s Creed game should be - stalk, plan, stealth, assassinate, escape.

WoW is also really fun. I tried getting into retail a few times over the years but there was just too much. It was way too overwhelming. Vanilla seems to be just right for a new player.

I dont remember the name of it, but you flew around in a blue spaceshit type thing. I think the story involved you being in some futuristic scifi navy/army. One word I can remember being said a lot (i think your wingman or something said it sometimes when you got a kill) is “Casbah”.

Its not a lot but I was very very young, and played it on my uncle’s PC over a summer while I was visiting my relatives abroad. If anyone has even remotely any idea what Im blabbering about please tell me 😂. Ive been occasionally thinking about it for years.

How to get cigarette smell out of my apartment?

So my roommate is a habitual cigarette smoker. He doesn’t smoke indoors (thankfully) but he does smoke about every other night outdoors. I don’t think he realizes that when he’s done smoking the smell sort of… lingers on him and his clothes. Last night after he was done he was in the kitchen for a bit cooking. I came in...

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Start smoking too so it doesnt bother you /j

But actually, if it got in any soft materials like couches they will still hold a smell. Not sure if it can happen even if its just from his clothes after hes already smoked. Other than that, ozone as others have suggested.

Can someone fill me in?

Greek is nothing like Latin.

Greek is my first language and Ive (tried to) read Latin, unsuccessfully, meaning no words maake sense to me when I view them from the perspective of “this word could have this greek word as a root”

Edit: This should hopefully put a rest to this discussion

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Yes, but you can for the most part understand ancient greek if you know greek. Ancient greek and greek are similar enough for that. Greek and latin are not.

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

No they are not. They are both Indo-European but each is from a completely different branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin stems from the Romance branch, while Greek from the Hellenic branch. Other than their common “ancestor” language group, the only other similarity I can think of/find right now is that Latin did borrow many Greek words due to the Roman’s heavy influence from Hellenic culture. However, this doesn’t mean that they are at all related.

Greek itself has myriads of Turkish words due to the Ottoman occupation of the Greek lands (Greece as a nation state did not exist yet at this point if I’m not mistaken) from 1453 until 1821(almost 400 years), however it would be ridiculous to make the claim that Greek and Turkish are related, given that Turkish is an Anatolian language which only shares commonality with Greek due to the fact that they are both Indo-European branch families. Hence, it is ridiculous to make the claim that Latin is related to Greek simply because they borrowed many words.

So, linguistically speaking both Greek and Latin are from majorly different language families, and we have discussed how you can’t make the claim two languages are related simply because they borrow words from each other because of various political/historical reasons.

You are confidently incorrect.

Read my other comments for a more detailed explanation, but the tl;dr of the matter is that while they are both Indo-European languages, each is from a vastly different branch family of the Indo-European language family. The Hellenic and Romance branch families for Greek and Latin respectively.

Technically they are related, but technically if you go far back enough I am related to you too, however any sensible person would never make the claim that you and I are related simply because we share a common ancestor somewhere along our history.

Edit: my other comments also have sources, but I don’t want to repeat myself once more, so I wont put them here as well. :)

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

You and I are not related because we share a common ancestor, and no sensible person would make that claim based on that reasoning. We do draw the line somewhere. If you want to define all languages as related because they all comprise of sound and noise that humans make feel free to.

Also, if you bothered reading not skimming then jumping to conclusions, you would see I linked a couple sources, so you don’t actually have to hear it from my mouth.

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I wasn’t attacking you with my comment, but anyway. I do agree there is a relationship and they influenced each other a lot (mostly Greek influencing Latin, not so much in reverse). I was just trying to say that not even linguists claim they are related. I didn’t once make the claim that they have nothing to do with each other either.

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

We literally are related

Cool, what time should I show up for Christmas dinner in December then? There’d better be lot’s of food xD

If you don’t find the fact that we are all technically related irrelevant, you should have no issue with my previous statement :)

Also, please don’t tell me to move along like you’re special, I’ll move along whenever I feel like it. You don’t like it then stop engaging

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I just think it’s fascinating to learn about those relationships and think about the things we can’t know

On that we agree :) If you like language/linguistic content in general, check out this guy. He makes content about old norse and such, its really interesting

Is pixelfed an entirely different platform? Sadly i have many good friends on insta who i talk with, and they wouldnt ever switch to anything else, so because of that im stuck with meta. Otherwise i would 100% leave it

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Im already on mastodon and i use piped, but sadly I cant leave insta yet because i have very dear friends on there who i chat with, and they’d never switch to something else (… And meta knows this btw)

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Thanks for the GDPR info (grabs popcorn to watch as well).

As for facebook, I only use it because of messenger for work, which I will delete as soon as im done with my BSc in about a year (I work at my uni). I dont have the app but rather a PWA on my phone, not that theres much difference.

However, Im interested in instagram because of good friends that use it

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Its sad that most people are numb to it, and actually completely unaware/uncaring. They just click that they want to continue using it for free, which is exactly what mera wants

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Ahh i see. Im going to edit my post now to specify that Im looking for an alternative frontend to instagram, such as piped is for youtube. Sadly i have friends on insta that I cant stop using it for now because of

Edit: haha ive heard of it, but its not really what im looking for sadly

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Actually lemmy was my first introduction to federated platforms. Im still a newbie :D

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I dont have many photos, but thats not the issue. Its that all my friends are on it, and until I leave after my bachelors and need to have contact with them often im stuck with it. After i leave to a different country once i get my degree itll be easier, but for the next year or so im stuck with instagram because i dknt want to lose contact with them. As most people, they would never leave the mainstream thing behind, so no chance of converting them as well

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I dont think so (correct me if im wrong). An alternative app might have access to the content etc and get around this paywall somehow.

Anyways, you still have the option to not pay and keep using IG as before. Nothing changes.

As fir my issue with this, im in the privacy community…need i say more? XD

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I already do, but i need the app for some things like when they send me posts or stories :/

Beeper is great though

Loving the username and matrix reference :)

Im reading 1984 right now, i like it so far.

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Thanks for this reply. Ive installed the site as a PWA and uninstalled the official app. Theres no way I’m either paying or giving them consent for personalised ads.

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Thats pretty much what I did :)

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Seems like a very interesting app. Is it open source by any chance?

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Progressive Web App.

Its like “installing” a website to your phone kinda. Usually if you open the menu on your mobile browser, if the site supports it there will be an option to install the site to your phone as a web app.

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Im trying it out even though its closed source

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

One might even say its how language works nowadays… Newspeak if you will

Check out one the 3rd party frontends for it. I personally use piped.kavin.rocks on desktop. Same content but you dont visit the YT site for it

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

This was the final straw that pushed me to using stuff like piped and libretube exclusively.

I watched an interesting video about the cobra effect and think at least in my case, its relevant

Classic knucklehead behaviour. What a rascal xD

Once I get a few in me, even if i feel super drunk I just want to continue drinking. We might be out with friends getting hammered, and when its time to go I just want to go elsewhere to continue drinking

How do you connect to one of those? I tried with the second option listen in the networks (abjects) but I get Connection failed (self-signed certificate.? (18))

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

With hexchat. I added the first server in the list and it worked fine

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

In the EU you don’t need to follow their process. Any GDPR request can be made to them through any channel and they must comply. If they don’t, then the next step is to file a complaint with your local data protection office, or the data protection office of the European country where the offending company is represented.

promitheas,
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

OP send them one more request explaining that under GDPR you are not required to do anything more than request your data be deleted and they must comply. Explain to them that if they don’t do so in a timely manner you will be contacting your country’s data protection office and filing a complaint.
