It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post. Read it and notice where you start to struggle. Notice where you give up entirely.

@yogthos Fun post. I notice the dialect shifts to West Saxon near the end.

@yogthos I was able to manage until 1500. After that it was like reading a foreign language.

@samebchase I could still kinda make it out by 1400, but 1200 was where I hit a wall, it's like a whole different language all of a sudden

@yogthos
1300 was like OK it takes time to map the letters, and then to read the word fast out loud to make out some sense, but 1200 totally killed me: I thought wait is there a second wolf now? Like, dude you literally just saw her and she's already a "uuif"? Cringe -

@david @yogthos yeah, beyond that I recognized a few words, but some of those I recognized from the time when I played a medieval nun on the internet :D
(I hand copied a text in Old English of which I had read a translation, so I had a vague idea of what was happening, but I couldn't exactly understand what I was copying in each individual sentence)

@Daojoan -- we're building on the web and the web only. all parts replaceable. doing it for real.
i don't think anyone hears this, but i've been writing software and writing about it on my blog for the last couple of years.
it takes a while to reboot things. hope people don't just miss the internet, but will help bring it back.

Me lo aveva anticipato di persona LRNZ all’evento di Kenobit e non volevo crederci. Sono rimasto in silenzio fino ad oggi. Voi non avete idea dell’hype che provo in questo questo momento: https://btfree.social/pub/objects/01KJ5BXGFE4YPFPKSTZ1VA2H5M

@EUCommission я родом из Крыма и был рад тому, что до нас не доехал "поезд дружбы", который не сулил нам ничего хорошего, из-за того, что нам угрожали за то, что русская культура нам ближе.
Но вряд-ли кого-то из запада когда-либо интересовало чего хотел простой народ в Крыму

@EUCommission Actions speak louder than words. This reminds me of "thoughts and prayers".
