Learn esperanto to fight english cultural dominance in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That is false. Esperanto is eurocentric. Thats true. But the reason it is so easy to learn is not because it is a merge of european languages. Rather it is because it is consistent and its many elements which by design makes the language easy to learn.

  • All present tense words ends in -as, all subjectives ends with -o.
  • The letters are always pronounced the same.
  • The morpheme 'mal' is used a lot which creates the antonym of a word. Varma and malvarma means respectively warm and cold. Sana and malsana means respectively healthy and sick.
  • Esperanto gives the speaker the -n suffix which is marking the direct object. In essence, this grants more flexibility to switch around on sentences to better fit how you want to speak the language.

In contrast, english is consistently inconsistent and thus makes it very hard to learn. The pronounciation changes depending on the words. The morphemes are inconsistent.

Learn esperanto to fight english cultural dominance (lemmy.ml)
 

English is burdened with a culture that emphasize empirialism, capitalism, individualism and so on. A culture that ignores climate catostraphy, global inequality and brings disproportionate attention to countries with english as national language. Additionally english is the language of Trump, Boris Johnson, Margareth Thatcher and George Bush jr.. Protest the english language by embracing esperanto.

Break language segregation! Today, the world is segregated by language. It is very resource heavy to learn a new ethnic language.

Esperanto is like other constructed languages made to be easy to learn through consistent grammer, phonetics and morphemes. You know how to pronounce a sentence. You can determine the type of word by looking at the last letter. Even if you havent seen a particular word before, the chances are that you can predict its meaning if you know the morphemes. It is estimated that it requires a tenth in time investment to learn esperanto compares to ethnic languages.

The world language is political and it enables english imperialism.

Look up your local esperanto group. Learn it. Talk about it. With collegues, friends, acquantances and family. Engage your local community. Influence!

How to monitor memory usage on android? (lemmy.ml)
 

I experience that my memory is used up on my android phone, but I dont understand what drains the memory.

I only found AnotherMonitor on fdroid, but it doesnt appear to show which app is consuming memory. Only total consumption.

Are there any good apps or solutions for this? Or at least as autonomous slash private as possible.

How should anti capitalists invest? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm thinking about anti capitalist investments.

Traditionally, it has been common to talk about investment in the sense of "generating" wealth. The economy is going to grow, therefore it is good to invest your money in mutual funds or diverse portfolios.

Traditional investment is orwellian for buying the rights to workers labor. Therefore, by principle I shouldn't invest in the traditional sense.

But just having money just laying around in the bank isn't very clever either as inflation will devalue it. So I'm thinking about anti capitalist investments.

Investments in non-profits

My idea of investment doesn't just encompass how to increase my personal wealth, but also the wealth of the planet, wealth of human beings and wealth of animals. This means that I consider a donation an investment. I could view such investments as giving much higher return than even the most ethical company.

By donating, I'm also incentivizing myself to pay more attention to these organizations.

Investment in personal property

I could invest in possessions that I predict is going to be very useful to fight capitalism. I could buy tools to create independence from big tech. Or items that improve my mental health or helps to connect with other people.

Investment in personal sector

I could work less in order to invest in my personal wealth and working for non-profit sector.

Investment in independence from work

Another investment type is one to reduce loans and expenditure to as close as zero. This would reduce the corporate and state workforce. It would also free up your time to do what you want to do. Perhaps start a non-profit or spend your time helping out established ones.

What are your thoughts on this?

Its fair to criticize me for using the term tankies. What is a better term for one who support these countries?

The problem with lemmy right now is that there are too few instances. The instances that has momentum has a strong tankies presence which a lot of people are uncofortable with. The most natural answer would be for them to create their own instance, but they chose to leave the platform instead 🤯

An addon I'd like to see (lemmy.ml)
 

Tabs often gets very cluttered. But I know which tabs that I always want to stay open. Email, social media, RSS feed, messenging. In short navigation tabs where you are only in the home screen.

So when you press a link in the management tab, it is opened in the content window. Or something along those lines. Whaddaya think?
