martibravo··on Ask HN: Why is Substack so popular?
For me, I think their simplistic approach to blogging/newsletters is it's main benefit. Sign up, choose a subdomain/domain, upload a logo and start building a subscriber userbase! It takes no time to get up and running, and not having to care about billing/hosting/SEO/coding/design and such is very important for people who want to start writing fast and not worry about those things.
martibravo··on You’re muted – or are you? Videoconferencing apps may listen when mic is off
My ASUS laptop has a dedicated mute mic button, not a key, on top of the keyboard.
martibravo··on Aranese: Spain's little-known language
Fun fact: The Catalan Government gave Aranese the same recognition as Catalan, so the small minority of Aranese speakers in Catalonia can communicate and do business with the Govt. in their language.

Note: only in use by the Catalan Govt. Not the Spanish Govt.

martibravo··on Aranese: Spain's little-known language
Valencian is another name for the same language as Catalan. Those who disagree do so for political reasons, not actual linguistic reasons.

Some sentences in both "languages" and English. Catalan/Valencian/English

Bon dia/Bon dia/Good morning

Avui fa bon temps/Hui fa bon temps/The weather is good today

Volem acabar amb la COVID19/Volem acabar amb la COVID19/We want to end COVID19

Sembla que plourà/Pareix que plourà/Looks like it's going to rain.

There are two difrent words in 4 sentences. I can't really see how that makes them separate languages.
