Is OOP considered archaic now? What is a more preferable paradigm nowadays?

I would suggest that you censor the spammer's company name in the screen shot. They want to have more exposure and they don't deserve any.

It is not newsworthy when there is no new development. Most people don't care, they continue using Twitter, Facebook, Reddit no matter what.

We (fediverse users) are not "normal" people. And I am proud of being different.

Sleepytime gets me every time. As a parent it is so bittersweet seeing the child becoming independent.

Don't forget knife, fork, and a napkin.

Red wine or white wine?

Non-native speaker here. I get kay-bin, but how are you supposed to say k'bin?

Ideally you should learn through a good teacher/tutor, they should inform you common variations etc.

I am not a learner so I can't really point you to learner resources. But I can suggest:

  • Some wikipeida pages are in Cantonese language, you can read them for practising
  • Visit some Cantonese-based forums so you can observe how people write cantonese casually

Keep posting questions to Cantonese communities on Lemmy. Many people are willing to help.

How? I feel like it might be too easy for such accounts to be created. And they already pollute the fediverse before their accounts get banned. I think this will be more common until we have more proactive measures.

Grammar books are written by linguists. But languages are used by people.

比 is not officially a variation of 畀, but people commonly use or misuse it as one. No native Cantonese speaker will misunderstand the use of 比 in this context, even if it is not strictly correct.

It is similar to how some English words are often misspelled, but the meaning is still clear. For example, supersede vs supercede, advise vs advice.

Would you recommend that some of us move to other kbin instances? Or should we stay on kbin.social to help it grow?

Thank you for all your hard work. I would like more people to discover kbin, instead of the other software developed by the tankies.
