>A recurring experience: I say something explicit, the other person hears something implicit.

I've experienced this my entire life and have all but given up trying to have actual conversations with people.

How’s life on the spectrum? Have you been diagnosed?

In the 90s I spent many hours on IRC and newsgroups reading all kinds of wonderful, and some not so wonderful things. I even had my own website, with photos, a web log, and a guest book! None of us were paid.

Sure, it wasn't as dressed up, but it was joyful and charming.

Not everything is about money, and not everything needs to be done for money. On the contrary; money seems to drain the charm and joy.

Perhaps some journalists have made the exact same argument to their landlords and at the grocery store. It probably didn’t go over very well.

So, social media is your news source, same as it is today?

But you weren't a journalist trying to earn a living.

I don't think "not everything is about money" is meant for taking freebies or employing people without paying.

Either pay or watch ads, which is it?

How does it compare to photon networking? I've been using photon and webrtc mostly. I haven't had any issues, but I'm always interested in finding better solutions!

Photon looks interesting! I am not too familiar with it, but from what I understand Photon and WebRTC are for communicating messages between clients. Those messages can be very fast, because they aren't blocked by writes to disk. Instant has two similar services, Presence & Streams. The primary sync engine is more for storing relational data.

Very cool!! It's actually full of blogs! I've seen lots of claims for this kind of thing, glad to see you followed through!

It's a good setting. I've found it gets reset sometimes from Windows updates, so you must remain vigilant.

Because it's the opposite of shabby

What are the reasons?

Basque Country also has an interesting language which doesn't seem related to other European languages. Basque language (or Euskara).

Seems as though it could have been an enclave of neanderthals who eventually integrated with humans.

This is a much-discussed topic. All we know of the Basque language is that it is pre-Indo-European.

The last time I looked in to this, the consensus was that it was most likely a version of otherwise-extinct ancient Celtic.

Now that doesn’t mean that the Basques don’t have a potentially outsized Neanderthal genetic influence, but the odds of their language being so ancient as to pre-exist modern humans entirely is unlikely.

If it has any relation to Celtic languages, then it's Indo-European by definition.

We can tell how much neanderthal ancestry someone has, more or less. Basque people have no more than others. Despite their odd language, they are much like other Europeans genetically: a similar mix of European hunter gatherers, Anatolian farmers and the bronze age invaders which we believe brought the IE languages to Europe.

Oh! Sorry- I meant to refer to the hypothetical proto-Celtic language!

This is what vibe-commenting from memory gets me.

The proto-Celtic that is Indo-European? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Celtic_language

Proto-Celtic is also an Indo-European language...

I'm just an armchair wikipedia browser, but it's an interesting read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Basque_language

This article talks about the Basque language from before contact with the Romans, 5-1 centuries BCE. It also references a "pre-proto-basque" language, that would have been the one before the Celtic invasion of Iberia (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtiberians).

The rabbit hole kind of ends there, as not much linguistic artifacts or history remain from BC unfortunately. But one can imagine the Basque society would live in relative isolation for a long time before that.

I figured they would do this when SoftBank acquired them.
