Instead of depending on a for profit / corpo for maintaining something like a whole language maybe that should be left to a coöp? Or at least something open source / Creative Commons so that people actually are authorized to contribute?
Is there an open source language learning platform? I'm not very invested in the FLOSS community but I didn't think there was anything.
I don't know either, I just assume that since it's 2023 and there's corpos, at least someone, somewhere, is thanklessly working on a FOSS language learning platform.
Does corpos refer to corporations?
Yeah it's like, the same way "pharmaceutics" get shiv'd into "pharma" (or "big pharma") "corporations" get shiv'd into "corpo".
It must be a regional thing. Personally I've never heard pharma by itself only as big pharma, shiv is an improvised knife a prisoner might make, and I've never heard corpo before. English is a huge language with a lot of regional differences. When I was young I would say wicked to mean very. If something was really fucked up I'd say it was wicked fucked up or wicked fucked.
