Heh, we use velo as well. And yeah, we don’t really stigmatise dialects that much either, though depending on how much dialect you use people might find it unprofessional.

It’s kinda funny, I’m Flemish and a lot of French loan words (ambriage, merci, nondedju = nom de dieu to name a few) are mainly used in dialect, and therefore don’t make you sounds sophisticated or worldly at all.
Meh, as a native Dutch speaker auxiliary verbs feel really utilitarian to me, and not particularly fancy - like you said, that’s highly subjective.
As for cases, I didn’t say Latin or German had the most, but just that I think they’re fancy and that Latin has them while French doesn’t.
For one, Latin has more fancy rules than French. I guess the subjunctive is probably something English speakers might consider fancy, but Latin has that too. Latin has more times that are conjugations of the core verb (rather than needing auxiliary verbs), has grammatical cases (like German, but two more if you include vocative) and, idk, also just feels fancier in general.
I’ll admit it’s been years since I actually read any Latin and that I only have a surface level understanding of all languages mentioned except for French, but this post reads like it’s about the stereotypes of the countries rather than being about the languages themselves.

2·2 years agoFrisian is an entirely different beast, and even speaking Dutch doesn’t help you that much to make sense of it.

4·2 years agoThere are a bunch of expressions in Dutch, some even overlapping with English (like all hands on deck/alle hens aan dek). I could think of five to ten off the top of my head, so I imagine there are a lot more that aren’t as obvious.

Videos@lemmy.world•"Burn The Boats" is a Funeral for Joe Rogan's Comedy Career
4·2 years agoThe creator of the video pointed out one good joke in the special, and sure enough - it’s about himself lol. So yeah, even when he manages to be funny on purpose he’s still the joke.
Right, I must’ve overlooked that. My bad.
You can easily use it with Nextcloud, to name one example. So yeah, it’s a good suggestion.
They’re different tools, just use them alongside each other.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•This Is The Smallest Linux Gaming PC! It's Fast & Fits In The Palm Of Your Hand - Bazzite Linux
1·2 years agoYup, it’s bottom of the barrel content. He also constantly engagement baits by asking people to comment if they want to see X or Y running on the machines he features, and he never actually does whatever he’s saying. It’s just a content farm.
Clearly not the point of OP’s question though

Steam Deck@lemmy.ml•Steam Deck Now Cheaper Than A Switch During Valve's Big Summer SaleEnglish
12·2 years agoIf they want Steam Deck to be a legitimate platform to target for developers - which seems to be the case and which seems to be working - they practically need to make sure they’re not refreshing it every 2-3 years with a spec bump. I’d personally be very surprised if Valve releases the next generation Steam Deck before 2026.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What tips or resources would you recommend to someone who knows about Linux and wants to self-host, but has no experience self-hosting?English
2·2 years ago+1 for starting out with Proxmox! I’m about to switch my main server over to it, and I wish I started out using it. I’ve played around with it for a while on a second server, and being able to use snapshots and Proxmox backups from the start would’ve saved me so much time.

Technology@lemmy.world•Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI NightmareEnglish
482·2 years agoAnd it won’t ever be true until you can pick up a PC running Linux in a big box store. I could see the Steam Deck (and Valve’s rumoured upcoming console) to make a dent in the PC gaming space, but it won’t make a difference to the purchasing decisions of your your aunt who uses her pc to check her emails.
Should corporate buyers ever get tired of MS’ shenanigans they might switch over to Ubuntu, but I’m not holding my breath for that.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Today's xkcd ranks cars as less dangerous than bikes and scootersEnglish
8·2 years agoAlso, I wouldn’t be surprised if electric scooters are legitimately more dangerous in urban environments with sane infrastructure. Those things can go absolutely anywhere, and can reach ridiculous speeds while cars are far more restricted in urban spaces (yet again, the ones with good design).

52·2 years agoI do think there is value in content dunking on others to draw people into leftism, but after a point that audience will move on to more constructive content.
I hope the guy can pivot to other, more positive, relatively surface level topics and videos, because he could definitely be an entry point into leftist (adjacent?) thought for a lot of people.



I use a Mac for work and I’m saddened to say I do have to use OneDrive, and that it unsurprisingly sucks absolute ass.
