Yes, but you can for the most part understand ancient greek if you know greek. Ancient greek and greek are similar enough for that. Greek and latin are not.

Greek is nothing like Latin.

Greek is my first language and Ive (tried to) read Latin, unsuccessfully, meaning no words maake sense to me when I view them from the perspective of "this word could have this greek word as a root"

Edit: This should hopefully put a rest to this discussion

Anyone else like miserable weather and doesn't see an issue with the image?

Progressive Web App.

Its like "installing" a website to your phone kinda. Usually if you open the menu on your mobile browser, if the site supports it there will be an option to install the site to your phone as a web app.

Seems like a very interesting app. Is it open source by any chance?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thats pretty much what I did :)

Thanks for this reply. Ive installed the site as a PWA and uninstalled the official app. Theres no way I'm either paying or giving them consent for personalised ads.

Loving the username and matrix reference :)

Im reading 1984 right now, i like it so far.

I already do, but i need the app for some things like when they send me posts or stories :/

Beeper is great though

I dont think so (correct me if im wrong). An alternative app might have access to the content etc and get around this paywall somehow.

Anyways, you still have the option to not pay and keep using IG as before. Nothing changes.

As fir my issue with this, im in the privacy community...need i say more? XD

I dont have many photos, but thats not the issue. Its that all my friends are on it, and until I leave after my bachelors and need to have contact with them often im stuck with it. After i leave to a different country once i get my degree itll be easier, but for the next year or so im stuck with instagram because i dknt want to lose contact with them. As most people, they would never leave the mainstream thing behind, so no chance of converting them as well
