This is literally the opposite of what happened. “To damp” was used to mean “to moisten” in the 1670s, a hundred and fifty years before “dampen” started to be used for it also in the early 1800s.
As with many if not most of the pedants in this thread, you’re dying on a hill that’s actually just straight-up wrong.
Natural human languages always have ambiguity. There are plenty of conlangs (constructed languages) specifically designed to avoid ambiguity though if you wanted to use one of those.
If such a version of English were ever made, it would immediately gain ambiguity as soon as people began speaking it fluently (and same for the conlang if a community of speakers began using it fluently as well).
There’s been no meaning shift. The “possessive” and “envious” uses of jealous both date from the 14th century in English, and both senses were present in the ancestors of these words all the way back to Greek.
Still not buying a Samsung.
They hated him because he told them the truth.
Qualcomm really does want to become Intel.
Same. As much as I love Domino’s, if we’re going out, we’re definitely going to a proper pizzeria.
Domino’s pan, double cheese, light sauce, extra pepperoni. I’ve tried deep dish in Chicago, New York style in New York, traditional pizzerias in Italy, and countless overpriced “craft” places from all over North America, and nothing I’ve tried even comes close.
Thanks!
It wasn’t a criticism - I was just curious if anyone had any more info.
Do we know when Mint 22 is coming yet other than just “summer '24”?
Lots of badlinguistics in this thread.
Here is everything I can remember doing:
Downloaded the apk
Installed and opened the program
Allowed notifications
Input my four instances: lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, lemmy.basedcount.com, and lemmy.ml
Hit “sync” and watched them sync. Three of these instances had almost the same number of communities (around 120), but one had none whatsoever. It took two or three minutes for that instance (basedcount) to sync all of the communities, and in the end, it wasn’t able to subscribe to about 20 of them for some reason. (maybe because nobody had ever gone to/searched for those communities from that instance before - I’ve heard this can lead to access problems, but you’d probably know more about that than I would)
About five minutes later, I got couple of notifications saying that 6(-ish) communities had been synced and that 18(-ish) had been unsubscribed across my instances. This confused me, so I checked my instance list and saw that all three of my instances with around 120 communities now had around 95.
I disabled notifications because they were starting to feel spammy.
I looked at the notification again and realized what had actually happened. I immediately uninstalled the program and resubscribed to as many communities as I could on lemm.ee, my main account.
Sorry this is so long - I hope it helps!
Beware!
This unsubscribed me from twenty+ communities on all of my instances. It first tried to subscribe all of my accounts to all of the communities of my largest instance, which is what I wanted it to do. One instance failed to sub to 20+ communities, which was fine, as it was a smaller instance.
Ten minutes later, however, I got a notification that it had unsubscribed all of my other instances from those communities as well. It took me about an hour to figure out most of the ones that had been lost, and even now I think I’m missing a few.
