I don’t really associate them with child predators, but I personally find them staches ugly AF. But I’m just a millenial, so you do you.

Me (Chad): having to get 32GB+ of RAM to compile my memory-safe point-and-click adventure

Got to see the northern lights together with my so!

OpenBoard is great. I’ve tried a few and it just feels like a privacy-focused version of G-Board

Lol, for a second I thought you mean Greenbone OS when reading the title.

Well, a couple things to correct: “me gusta esta falda, pero no la quiero comprar” (la falda, therefore feminine “la”, so you were correct in your assumption :))

“Le pediré su número”, is more roughly transated to “I’ll ask for their number”, which like in English might shine some light on how you could be more specific, by providing extra information about the indirect object in question in your sentence to remove uncertainty: “Le pediré su número a él/a ella” (in your two cases)

Like I said, I’m no good when it comes to grammar, but I can tell you, that there are just so many languages, and many have features that others just don’t (like Russian has no article (definite or indefinite), Arabic has verbs that depend on the gender of the speaker, etc). With Spanish I just know that the biggest hurdles are the past tense, and the gerundive, but I can’t really point you to a good resource other than a book I kind of saw a while back: Pons. I read the “german version” (I think) for learning Spanish (I was tutoring at the time), and it was quite informative but dense. Maybe there’s something for you there as well.

I don’t know about videos, but here is an article

Well, I’m no expert. I just enjoy learning languages and am a native Spanish speaker myself. With regards to the grammar I’m quit lost in my own language, but I can tell you this:

1. “le” is was and always has been neutral. It and the other examples I gave are just the basis that shows that Spanish is capable of implementing gender neutrality/equality.
2. I don’t know if you know any Spanish, but every single noun is already gendered. This is more about pronouns getting another third person singular pronoun, and also trying to expand the base of the language and noun or adjectives that are already gendered to include this gender neutrality + equality.

I hope I could answer your question properly, but of not, feel free to elaborate.

That is what I myself thought on the first place, but it’s more of a “global” movement. It’s not just “white people”, but rather also native Spanish speakers learning nuances of other languages, plus Gender Studies research, etc.

I don’t know where you come from or what languages (apart from English) you might speak, but:

1. “Latin” in Spanish means the same on English: Latin, as in the sense of the language spoken by the romans. I don’t think there is a single Spanish speaking country that calls latine “latin”.
2. Most languages (including Spanish) have gendered nouns. German even has 3. Swedish has 2 (although those are “common” and “neutral”.
3. Language evolves with time. It’s not “professors teaching new words”, it’s actually society coming up with new words. The Swedish even got themselves (relatively recently) a new third person pronoun noun specifically for a neutrally gendered/ungendered person. It is now part of the language’s standards. Even the Germans are having quite difficulty trying to make their nouns more inclusive, since (like Spanish) most nouns are used in a “masculine is the standard” (for lack of a better description).

Hope that makes it clearer.

“LatinX” was indeed the first attempt at a gender neutral description. “Latino” is still considered by many native speakers to be “neutral”, but the most feasible solution I’ve seen popping up is the “latine” (as in “estudiante”, “vigilante”, etc). Since it uses an explicitly non-gendered suffix, it is more correctly inclusive than the “latino”. It will take a while though, und until it is really widely adopted.

Apart from what has already been said (politics, basic UI) there are a couple more things worth mentioning:

• Kbin’s interface is muuuch more customizable than lemmy’s: browsing form a web browser (desktop or mobile) let’s you modify your viewing experience as much as any mobile app for lemmy (but lemmly itself doesn’t). From infinite scrolling vs pages to font sizes and such.
• kbin allows for (mastodon-like) boosting of posts, which is like a super-upvote that lemmy just doesn’t have.
• on kbin you can subscribe to mastodon users aka federate with mastodon. Something that lemmy also can’t.

Other than that only personal taste matters in the end, and both federate with eachother, so enjoy it from wherever you are.

Twice a day: After breakfast and before going to bed.

The latter one goes with mouthwash, and at least once a week some floss. Has worked for me quite well. You might need some more depending on your genes, but it seems to be the golden middle I found for myself (and others who ask me), and even the dentist has yet to tell me to change anything in that routine.

My university already uses OSS as (StudIP), but they’re also hosting and promoting access to Matrix :)
