    Lol, maybe it is common knowledge for people who have no knowledge at all… This all has been done in the open, no need for conspiracy theories. The US troops are openly embedded into their YPG ally troops, US politicians visit them frequently. And HTS and SNA are frequently battling with US allies who use US weapons. They did so this week…

    Also, HTS separated many years from AQ. They have a similar ideology, but not an organizational connection for a long time now. And those weapons dodnt even go to al-nusra (of whom HTS sprung of).Al nusra was never fsa. And the US stopped supporting the FSA 10 years ago.

    Get some informations or stop talking about this.

    Edit: this is honestly the most baffling thing about this conflict, how western Anti-imperialists still defend and support the US funded ypg…

    Oh my, two mistakes in one sentence… HTS is not active in the south and Turkey supports the SNA (FSA) which is at times cooperating with HTS, but is at odds with them at the same time. The tentions just flared up today again and let to a lot of bloodshet between SNA and HTS in the last. Turkey did occasionally protect the HTS to a degree against Assads agressions (to prevent Assad from gaining ground), but also tried to get rid of them.

    The US supports neither the SNA, nor HTS, but supports the YPG in the north and a mercenary troop in the south that acts like they were FSA, not HTS.

    You know literally nothing about the conflict. Stop writing about it

    The US is actually backing socialists and even communists in Syria. HTS is mostly on its own. The US supports Assad over HTS.

    Edit: Lol, downvote me all you want, doesn’t change that the US chose the socialist YPG/PKK as their ally. Tbf though, their main ideology is ethnic nationalism, socialism for them is nowadays more a tool to fool some naive westerners.

    Edit 2: I am a socialists myself. Still doesn’t change facts.

    Edit 3: Israel juat bombed the rebels. How does fit into your narrative? https://x.com/Doron_Kadosh/status/1864644939583201385

    I mean, I’d say it depends on what you do. When I see grad students writing numeric simulations in python I do think that it would be more efficient to learn a language that is better suited for that. And I know I’ll be triggering many people now, but there is a reason why C and Fortran are still here.

    But if it is for something small, yeah of course, use whatever you like. I do most of my stuff in R and R is a lot of things, but not fast.



  • I was actually just adding more criticism. They obviously negated that people can have more than one native language. There is a lot to criticize on that presentation. I’d file it under “Data can be ugly” tbh.

    On the other hand, doing this “cleanly” is near impossible. The language situation is way to complicated to present “the demographic of languages of the world” in a single graph without oversimplifying and misrepresenting stuff.


  • Some of the missing are left out languages. E.g. there are ~200 million speakers of turkic languages, but they only cited Turkish with ~71 million. Amd they didn’t include a single Bantu language. There must be more than 300 million Bantu speakers.

    It is also kind of weird that they give numbers to the tenth part while using wild estimates. Turkey has 85 million inhabitants and up to 10 million native speakers outside of turkey. There are no official ethnicity numbers from turkey as ethnicity is not registered. Also no one knows how many turkish speakers exactly live outside of turkey. But they give us numbers to the tenth part? The situation will be similar for the other languages.
