It’s something quite personal. Visualize your day to day at your destination, what kind of situations and needs will you encounter, and jot down the words that you need to construct the sentences you’ll need.

You might want to supplement your list with something like a visual dictionary.

Round watches have the perfect form for handpans if you are planning to do other instruments.

After the axing there was an effort to salvage the last open source versions, and build something from there: http://openxtalk.org/

I don’t disagree, but in Spain similar stuff happened with Valencia’s floods. The common denominator is the far right.

I don’t really have “a point” with my comment, it’s just random thoughts.

More random thoughts: before all that the queer symbol was the pink triangle (yeah, it was quite gay-centered) or the letter lambda. The rainbow flag has its pros, as it’s more inclusive, but I guess its success is due to the business adoption, as it started to appear massively on the shops doors. I was (and am) torn between interpreting it as “you are safe here” (not long before we have been routinely avoiding any person with a shaved head for fear of our lifes) or as “we want your money”. I guess it really wasn’t that black or white.

I still don’t have a point. Apple’s dick move has somehow given me a bit of a flashback.

I remember when the businesses started to discover/coin “DINK” and Macintosh advertised its colourful iMac G3 in all the (respectable, of course) gay magazines that proliferated back then. Only a few lunatics opposed the pink dollar/euro/yourcurrencyhere.

Looks like we stopped being profitable.

Or that the potential profit of catering to the homophobes seems bigger.

Anyway, it was nice having the businesses giving back some “visibility” and “normalisation”, but you don’t let the capital be the sole guarantor of Human Rights.

No worries, I was a bit whaaaaat with the doughnuts thing because I had never heard about that.

It was sponsored by a foundation for this very specific purpose, and when you get a domain you agree to use it for content in Catalan or about Catalan culture and language but a lot of people just don’t comply. It’s not a 2-letter TLD because Spain won’t let Catalonia have a country code.

I wish people at least pretended to care about Catalan language and culture when they bought a .cat domain.

Just yesterday I saw one on Lemmy but I don’t know if I will be able to find it again.

Found it! https://lemmy.ml/post/23671806
