Thanks. I really wrote “Castilian” to mean that sources on the web suggest his dialogue is at least somewhat modern Spanish Spanish (so to speak) – but I’m ignorant of the differences between Spanish spoken in the Americas, including North America as you rightly point out, and the Iberian peninsula. I didn’t mean to suggest that Castilian was archaic.

Thank you, that’s interesting to know!

I can’t find anything to really support the note about the faun speaking an early version of Spanish; do you have a link I could read/watch?

I’ve found people noting that Doug Jones is dubbed by the Spanish voice actor into Castilian (rather than any Central or South American dialect) and that his language is formal and somewhat archaic.

FYI, OnlyOffice is entirely Russian-owned, through a holding company in Singapore and a subsidiary in Latvia. I don’t know if money you give CryptPad ends up in Russian hands, but OnlyOffice put a lot of effort into obscuring this.

As I understand it, if any seller is using Amazon fulfillment centers, the product you’re given is picked out of the same box regardless of the named seller. That makes it impossible to buy confidently from Amazon based on the reputation of the seller, and makes Amazon themselves an unreputable seller.

I haven’t found a second angle of the same sign (though there are others with the same message), but I think it’s real.

I might be too dense for this - is it a joke about traumatic brain injuries? (I’m not being snide!)

Seems a little redundant when the article we’re all commenting on does precisely that.

“You fell for a phishing scam and hadn’t enabled two-factor authentication” is more likely, followed closely by “You used the same password for another service/platform that got compromised”.

Microsoft are being unhelpful here and deserve to be criticised, but the fault for the “hack” is almost certainly the responsibility of the user.

The chart suggests that some time late into the day before yesterday, they had about -0.3 husbands.

In this thread, mostly: “Yeah, I know the show was poorly written through several seasons, but I thought the ending would at least be satisfactory.”

I realize you’re joking, but the vehicles considered to be the first motor car and first motorcycle were both created in the same year, FYI - neither is a response to the other.

I don’t miss Reddit much, but I have such nostalgia for r/shittyreactiongifs before the moderators decided they couldn’t be bothered to moderate and permitted non-subversive posts. Some of the hardest I’ve ever laughed by myself.

He said he was a doctor, but i don’t know what kind of doctor smokes over a corpse.

Also addressed in the video! Neither I nor the video creator has any stake in what you choose to do, and I’d prefer not to rehash the whole video for you since it’s right there for you to watch if you’re interested in this topic, but the main points were generally about reducing subscription costs and gaining better control of content (e.g. no surprise removals of music, videos, and ebooks).

Persist with the video! The text-to-speech is only for a couple of quick screens - the rest is very personal, and they cover a bunch of use cases.

If you really don’t want to, the server OS they recommend around two-thirds of the way through is YunoHost, a beginner-friendly way to run services as containers on any capable spare computer. The YunoHost website has a bunch of use cases that are also covered in the video.

ultimate (adj):
from Late Latin ultimatus, past participle of ultimare “to be final, come to an end”
