True. I'm not a native English speaker, but I am fluent, and so often I indeed feel my way around.
It's weird when I think about it, that I trust my gut instinct so often, but if you've trained by consuming enough of the language it does work. You start recognizing when you're trying to construct a tense, but you did a mistake, and it doesn't sound familiar.

@Terry
That's illegal in EU. Do Americans get away with it?

@djsumdog @evan
The argument to just call it all "Mastodon" cause it's easier is the equivalent to arguing to call all Linux distributions Ubuntu for the normies. It's dumb.

@mametsuko
I think the issue with your example sentence is that it's an enumeration. Here "a" stands for as a way of counting. The sentence is an equivalent with: "Thanks for today: one really interesting paper and one great group of people."
There could have been multiple interesting papers, and the sentence becomes: "thanks for today: several really interesting papers and... ".

If you break it apart, you could have: "Thanks for the interesting paper, and (thanks) for the great group of people". Although, I find "the great group of people" by itself a bit strange. From the sentence context, "the group" doesn't sound that well defined. I'd expand it to "the great group of people here". Or "the great group of people in this club".

Obviously I disagree, but thank you for the clarification.

Not a fan of the Islamic faith, and I hate commies.

Testing now, things seem to have solved themselves. Considering my ISP had the issue, but the mobile phone network didn't, I'm guessing it was just an issue with how my ISP was connecting to everyone.

@Suiseiseki
Jackasses like you make me want to use Windows.

@Suiseiseki
Sure buddy. Take your proprietary radar super power somewhere else.

@icedquinn @Suiseiseki
The only thing it's good for is testing your internal network. But I can do that just fine with a file transfer.

@icedquinn @Suiseiseki
P.S. I've tried speedtest-cli before. It's utter shit. It can't even find a fast server to test against in my own country.

@icedquinn @Suiseiseki
I'm sure it is, but considering he's not actually following me, and this is the 3rd time he did this (and quite promptly so), I can only conclude he is stalking people. In which case I'm thinking about blocking him.

@Suiseiseki
Do you like to stalk people or something?

YouTube must have had a stroke.

Contrary to popular opinion of some, Romania is not Hungary. I'm not hungarian nor do I speak the language. The only way I even figured out this is likely in hungarian, is cause the word "magyar" in there.

@LaoBan
No, it seems to be down to my ISP.
I've tested through speedtest.net on various international servers. And for cases where speedtest.net returned <1Mbps on cable, the same server got good speeds on my phone network.

I just can't really figure out what could be the issue, to where some servers can get 200-500Mbps, but others in the same country <1Mbps. I literally got a case where London gives me either 500Mbps or 0.6Mbps from one test server to another.

@PinochetsCommieCopter
Have they investigated the effects of paranoia of seeing racism in everything around you, because a social studies "expert" told you "everything is sexist, everything is racist, and you have to point it all out"? Surely that kind of delusional paranoia must have an effect on the brain, right?

Internet is very weird for me right now.
International download speeds seem to be very inconsistent. I'm either getting my full contract speed (usually to EU capitals) or less than 1Mbps to anything else.
At the same time upload speed is just fine everywhere around the world.

The result seems to be that fedi has reached a record low loading speed for me.
