  • Do they do that informally too? In formal English language writing, the majority of interrogative sentences can be correctly interpreted by their starting with “question words” or helping verbs. This breaks down in informal writing e.g. “you up?” vs ”Are you up?" In the little Spanish I know, I’d say “¿Estas despierto?” (I know I’m missing accents but I speak Spanish way more than I can read it.) Would I still text it to someone that way even though extra characters are what is typically taken off in informal writing? In the English example, the helping verb is removed. In the Spanish version, would the upside down question mark be removed?










  • On old hardware I use Debian. You can use whatever DE you prefer, I prefer x, but you have a graphics card so maybe you want gnome or kde. Ventoy liveusb with a few different distros can help you pick something that you like and let’s you fully and quickly rage quit a distro if you come to realize that debugging legacy hardware/software compatibility issues is it’s own hobby that is separate from not wanting to be tracked at the OS level or wearing sexy socks or whatever reason you have for using Linux.
