Thinking about how humans didn't just up and invent language, cuz all animals have languages.
It's just at some point our language stopped sounding like monkey noises and started sounding like vaguely human noises.
I wonder how quickly it changed, though.
Language is a product of evolving culture and technology. We create things, learn, and develop memes around them. New stuff means new words, and eventually those words change depending on how much we care about the thing.
We have little idea how any of these things changed from year to year. All we have is our ancestors' trash to study.Yeah, archaeology is literally the study of old trash. We dig up what dead people left behind and study it to figure out what their life was like.
In a way, detectives are like archaeologists but for stuff that happened basically yesterday. -

@paolabonacini Ci fanno credere che a definirci sia il lavoro così continuiamo a lavorare come muli, senza pensare ad altro, lasciando poco spazio mentale alle domande. Poi, sì, la vita è altro. Fanno bene i Paesi Bassi con la settimana lavorativa a 4 giorni.

Hello Fedi friends!
I'm back in Paris after France's 2 week-long school holidays (thank you to the two sets of grandparents for looking after my little one).
I was SO EXCITED to do backups on my Mac Mini this morning and do the Spanish sound mix for my Fedi promo video (thanks to @irenerd 's wonderful work) but I'm locked out of my system.
I forgot my wired Apple keyboard in Italy and my wireless one had never been paired to this Mac Mini.
All this to say LINUX is the best because I was able to connect my Raspi to the wireless keyboard thanks to the login screen accessibility button and the ability to turn on a virtual keyboard. Aw Mac OS you could learn so much from Linux, honestly 😏
I just ordered a wired keyboard that should arrive tomorrow afternoon... so no video editing work for a bit, but at least I have a laptop AND a Raspi with Ubuntu to do other stuff...
This week I'm setting up my music library in #Jellyfin YAY.
Wishing you all a lovely day & week.

@stefano 😅 Touch wood I've never had to deal with overheating yet even though I'm in a warm part of Brazil. I should look into it though.
