ma Mosijo for Hungary is objectively terrible as far as transliterations go, though I quote like that it’s one of the very few if not only that changed very early on (2005 iirc – it was Masija, which was too similar to Asija).
The ‘gy’ /ɟ~ɟ͡ʝ/ in magyar* becoming an /s/ is just weird, though can be reasoned (/ɟ~ɟ͡ʝ/ > /dʲ/ > /di/ > /ti/ >** /si/ – the semivowel then added back), it’s still one syllable too long. ‘a’ is an /ɒ/ in Hungarian, that becoming an ‘o’ is arguably acceptable (although I’d argue against it, but given the circumstances, I won’t complain).
Better solution? “Mata” for Hungarian could work I guess, all I know is that U’d greatly orefer having a plosive in it than a fricative.*: the country’s name is Magyarország, where magyar=Hungarian, ország=country **: by toki pona syllable rules
toki!

Zotn (jan Sotan)to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a single player PC game you can't get enough of?2·3 years agoFor a long time it was Heroes of Might and Magic 4 for me – I know it’s the “black sheep” of the series, but I really like that heroes are actual parts of your party (I also played a lot while growing up, so nostalgia plays a role and that’s what I got used to)
I second OpenSuse Tumbleweed, only switched back to it after 7+ years and it’s been great so far, no packages broke after update so far.
Zotn (jan Sotan)to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•former /current Twitter users, what do you do on there?2·3 years agoI am very indifferent about twitter, only joined relatively recently because I felt like I was spamming random stuff on discord and such, so I just write there if it’s not too personal.
Also follow some people and post BTS/WIP things related to the things I make (that basically no one cares about, but I want to share).
The toki pona community is rather acattered on multiple platforms, if there were one active one I’d be on that… (probably no one would comment this, but the ma pona Discord isn’t a viable option for me currently).

In pu the dictionary, place names (and a few other parts) are under CC-BY-NC, so they can be shared as they appear, but I don’t know any place that has them. I used to read jan Pije’s copy of it on http://tokipona.net/tp/janpije/placenames.php, but it too have been taken down sadly. The link is for an archived version.
Others can maybe give better sources, I am not sure what’s up to date and accurate.

Zotn (jan Sotan)to Languages and Linguistics | Polyglots, Language Learners and Linguists!•toki pona li pona tawa miEnglish6·3 years agotoki pona is brilliant and I wish there were more of us here. There was no active toki pona community (only ones that were inactive on other instances), so I made a new one: [email protected].
I love this so much
adds telemetry, but still open source under GPL (v2 or oater for audacity, v3 for musescore since version 4).
Musescore is a good software regardless, it has become a bit more “centralized” with MuseHub, but still can be used independently and the whole “family” of software are open source, although they are more closely integrated. musescore.com doesn’t need to be used, Musescore has functions to upload scores directly there, but that can be avoided and you can do anything locally.
I understand if someone doesn’t like this kind of integration, but I honestly don’t have much problems with it, the teams aims to make it easily usable for everyone, the telemetry is there mainly bug tracking (which is reasonable and can be turned off) and having it semi-tied to a monetized platform makes sense to ensure upkeep.
If they can make it work well, keep it FLOSS and with the resources able to provide support for users, I’d say it’s a fair compromise, especially if they can make it a real competitor to proprietary alternatives.
I’m not affiliated in any way with either software btw, I just like them and know how to use them; there aren’t many alternatives that sadly that could easily replaced them without a significant re-learning period.
This is a reported bug on github, so a fix will happen for sure. While Markdown is awesome and perfect for browsers, incompatible implementations (esp. when using extensions as Lemmy does, e.g. subscript) are often a problem on non-web based platforms, like Android. If Jerboa was an electron app, it would probably be an easier fix than it is; Jerboa is written in Java and there are less and probably less extensive Markdown parsers in that ecosystem.

thanks!
I’ll try to do something better tomorrow for the banner, possibly redraw icon (and this time not forget the “pona” from toki pona and won’t need to awkwardly drawnin with a mouse) and make some new content that I could post asap – quite a “bad” solution because it could make it look like I made this place for self-promotion, which was not my intent, but I’d really like to increase activity and this is what I can contribute.

not retro gaming, but Sony Ericsson phones used these basically up until they disappeared
I think* the basic idea is that there’d be specialized hosts/instances for certain broader topics, OR just allowing to create close “communities” by disallowing cross-intance interactions.
It could be confusing for a while, but I think in time things will mostly normalize in one way or another and the concept of “rival subreddits” were already a thing.
*: I’m also new here, so all of this is just conjecture
Zotn (jan Sotan)to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many of you are familiar with Toki Pona (and would you subscribe to a community for it?)English1·3 years agoI looked around and found none, so I took matters in my own hands and created one: [email protected]
