The effect you describe reminds me of reading Edward W. Said's "Orientalism" when I was younger. Fable suddenly started with this kind of lingo, iirc, and Opus 5 sounds exactly the same. Tin foil: it's ultimately a vendo

Dunno, I think it's still useful to expose slop, chances are that the actual product is low quality/effort as well (i.e I will not be wasting my time checking this project). On a personal note, I've gotten allergic to the wor

>The ş is like sh, š is regular s That's not correct, in transcriptions of Akkadian š is pronounced sh (Heb. shin), ṣ (not ş) is pronounced ts (Heb. tsade), and there's also s, pronounced as regular s.

I had it casually, I quote, "disable the sandbox" for a minute because it struggled with git (which was briefly out of sync in the container)

Most (proprietary) 25 year old PHP codebases I've seen are a huge mess riddled with issues, exuberant loc, mix of tabs and spaces and weird indentation, dry violations, slightly diverging code blocks copy-pasted all over the place, etc
