Wales's minister for education and the Welsh language said he will write to the company to see how the government might be able to support the course's continued development.

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.

[-] veniasilente@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Does corpos refer to corporations?

[-] veniasilente@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah it's like, the same way "pharmaceutics" get shiv'd into "pharma" (or "big pharma") "corporations" get shiv'd into "corpo".

[-] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

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.
