my [networked technology] take has always been that the only people who have to use [networked technology] should be the people who want to use [networked technology] and are willing to learn how to use [networked technology]
we have a problem right now where lots of people have to use [networked technology] who don’t want to, but the solution to that problem won’t be found in [networked technology] improvements

@unspeakablehorror (also, for the record, an iphone can select and copy text from a printed document (or a JPEG (or a rendering of a JPEG on a screen)), so i question your context delineation. people aren’t without computers just because they are dealing with physical entities. we live in an age of cyborgs)
@unspeakablehorror sure, but it seems like a lot of privileging of “computer” to me. what makes computers so special?
@unspeakablehorror but is not(computer‐text) not still not(computer)‐text? or do you think there is something fundamentally different between printing to an e‐ink screen and printing to paper?
@unspeakablehorror wouldn’t the fact that you can’t copy-paste text on paper imply that it isn’t text, not that it is, if that is part of your definition of “text”?

Indiana University is hiring a Research Data Software Engineer.
$65,000–$75,000/yr; eligible for remote work. This is a two-year position, but word is they hope to convert it to a permanent position at the end of that period.
they CLAIM there is a gengar in these pokémon fruit snacks but i haven’t seen one
ok well, if you print out a JPEG of a page of text, surely that is still an image then?
you can get out of this one real easily with <doi:10.4242/BalisageVol5.Renear01>, if you¦re a coward
is a statistic a document?

My Wii Pointer cursor set is finally finished. It replaces all the default windows mouse cursors with nice and crisp renders of the Wii Pointer hand, and I've thrown in some extra icons too so every cursor type is updated!! (despite some cursors barely ever being used by Windows)
I'm also releasing the vector image files that I've made during the creation of this cursor, as I know a few people wanted high quality versions of the Wii Pointer hand ^^ 
Downloads and a bit of a longer writeup here:

@alyssa these are both very subjective opinions ofc tho
@alyssa for (1), i’m not sure that i would particularly care to break up things beyond a word level, or try to make the gloss match the order of the morphemes in any particular way. i’d probably just put the meaning of the word first, and then add affixes based on “importance” or “closeness” to the root, with the understanding that people interested in sub‐word analysis would probably need to read up on morphology a little bit
@alyssa i think regarding (2) the guidance is to make a determination as to the lexical/grammatical divide, like…
if you think that the derived stems are *grammatical* derivations, i·e that they represent the same word but with different grammatical properties, then you would just gloss the root and add suffixes for the new properties (agent, instrument, diminutive, etc.)
if the derived stems are *lexical* derivations (they produce new words), then generally i think you would gloss the whole derived stem rather than breaking it out, because while the root might be of etymological interest, it could just as well be misleading from a glossing perspective
@alyssa i’d probably gloss himidkʰí as “m-d-kʰ.DIM” or “[language].DIM”; is that kind of what you are asking?
@aschmitz oh definitely, but i think that problem is manageable so long as you have a plurality of sources
i’m less worried about the “we can’t run this article or someone will get mad” and more worried about the “we HAVE to run this article, and spin it this way, because it’s a cash cow for us”. if we can solve the second problem, i’m hopeful the first can be addressed thru diversity
