Typed "I'm delighted" in a text to a friend -- and stopped short, looking at the word "delighted."

I used "delighted" to mean that I am pleased, joyful, content, happy.

But delighted. De-lighted.
Wouldn't that mean "darkened"? Illumination removed?

If "de-" indicates that "light" is removed, how does that jive with the emotions of pleased, happy, or content?

Looked up the .

And voilà.

"light" <-- leoht () <-- lēoht () <-- *leuhtą ()

Well, THIS isn't ominous or anything:

"Bank of England chief warns of ‘worrying echoes’ of 2008 financial crisis"

"Andrew Bailey says a close look is needed at the private credit market after collapse of two big US firms"

(The BoE is about as staid and dull as they can possibly be: this is the equivalent of them setting their beard on fire and running screaming through the marketplace.)

Can I ask a favour?

If you see someone who is asking for help using this place, and if no one else is helping them, could you tag me into the conversation and/or link to my website fedi.tips?

I'm trying to provide unofficial tech support for people using Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. I'm especially keen to help new people who want easy-to-understand advice, but they won't see me and I won't see them unless someone tags me.

Thanks 🙏

さらに、秘密を安全に転送する方法なんていくらでもある今日に転送を問題にするならそれはネットワーク越しというよりも、外に出すときの人間のミスについて考えていると考えるべきだと思っていて、(計算量的に安全な経路で秘密を転送することが許されないならsshを使うべきではない)
その前提で考えても、覚えていられるはずもない公開鍵の集まりが複数存在して安全に管理できるか怪しい。

みんなが当然気を付ける転送中に問題が起こるよりそれ以外で事が起こるリスクの方が大きいと思う。

One thing I learned from our female IT-specialists is how offensive the term "man days" is.

Recently there was a discussion (all men) about efforts and "man days". I just said "It's Person Days - there are quite a couple of women in the team as well."
Short silence, bit surprised looks.
"Sure"
Continued in "Person Days"

Sometimes it doesn't take a lot to change language to the better. Just do it.

Das sind nur einige der Länder aus denen Seeleute kommen.

Und sie fahren in noch viel mehr verschiedene Länder, auch zu uns.

Seeleute sind überall Fremde in fremden Häfen.

Sie brauchen Menschen, die sie als Menschen sehen.

Dafür sind wir da. Dafür setzen wir uns ein

Ça va faire 3 ans que je suis sur Masto et je me souviens que je m'étais dit que ça allait ptête me permettre de dire moins de conneries, que j'allais parler un peu plus de choses qui me tiennent à coeur ou me révoltent, que je proposerais un contenu avec de la consistance, portée par une audience de qualité.
Force m'est de constater que c'est un échec et que mon usage des réseaux est le même quel que soit le public: dire c'qui me passe par la tête, sans ligne éditoriale. Et c'est chouette.

Enjoying this talk from Eric (of the Location Night Cafe) at the Post Bar.

Quote:
> The alcohol industry has a monopoly on nightlife.
And when you have crowds of drunk people crashing through your city every night, you need to make it drunk-person-proof.
And if your city is drunk-person-proof you don't get to have nice things in your city.
