what the heck... a file that I spent a lot of time working on a few months ago doesn't exist anywhere anymore...

I'm setting up a strawman by implying that any reasonable person might hold this view, but if you think that character encodings aren't political theguardian.com/technology/201 (repeated from last boost)

@rosen yeah, that balance is hard... I'm changing my legal name to one that's not my preferred name, but isn't awful (like my deadname is)

But I can't change it to my preferred name because that's everywhere on the internet and I don't really want to get doxxed

@Felthry @DialMforMara yes, the examples words are all australian pronounciation - there's no way for me to map australian vowels onto US pronunciation at all

@DialMforMara I should note:

some of the words on these pages are written with the standard english spelling, instead of mine

and some of the words I may have used the wrong vowels

also: I don't write the ə if it's the only vowel in the last syllable of the word, so "nation" is written as "nàʃn" instead of "nàʃyn"

@DialMforMara these are all the vowels, excepting the special character ŷ which represents the sounds /jʉ:/ (as in the start of "union")

"We're pirates of the seven seas!"
"Which ones?"
"Uh, Mediterranean, Caribbean, the Dead Sea, the South China Sea (but not the North), Hudson Bay, the Sea of Tranquility, and the Holy See."

"...."

"Look, we get around, okay?"

@hal@slime.global oh, lightbox!
that's relatively easy, the instructions are here on this site:
