"South Korea on Wednesday admitted for the first time that in its rush to send children to American and European homes decades ago, its adoption agencies committed widespread malpractices, including falsifying documents, to make them more adoptable."

This may not be the best interpretation of #Piazzolla's #Nightclub 1960, but it is definitely the most passionate version. If you don't look at the video and just listen to the music, you can never guess what the violinist looks like. I found this video more than 15 years ago. I have no idea why it is so unpopular. It deserves a lot more attention. #argentina #LeeSungJoo #LeeByungWoo #tango #violin #guitar #music

I am a biracial. Now I am staying in Taiwan. I started to play the piano since I was 4 and listening to music can makes me free relax. And music just like architecture is solidification of music, it also can say that music is a kind of space

Question for people who know Korean:
I'm a very new Korean-learner. I'm trying to say "I'm going to eat at a nice restaurant on Monday at 3 PM." Should I say:
월요일에 오후 3시에 나는 멋있다 식당에서 먹을거예요.
or
월요일 오후 3시에 나는 멋있다 식당에서 먹을거예요.
That is, does ~에 go on both the day and the time of day, or just at the end of the full date/time specifier? (Also if I screwed anything else up corrections welcome hahah)
I haven’t cried like I did for the Gganbu episode of Squid Game. Damn! That was rough.
As my spouse and I work our way through our list of KDramas, we've had fun watching (sometimes struggling to understand) the English speaking scenes. But Kim Ji-won's performance in Queen of Tears has been impressive. Crystal clear, way to go!
It's interesting how in previous shows, actors will memorize English lines. They're technically correct, but stress the wrong syllables making it difficult to understand. That's probably how my Korean might sound to them.
In other news, still no American actors that are really American. It'll happen!
I'm happy, I have found an Android keyboard on f-droid with a #Korean layout.
It's HeliBoard
With my renewal effort to expand my non-English follows on Mastodon, I got reminded of "惑星": #Japanese way to describe Planet. Apparently it means "wandering stars" as we know the trajectory of planets is not so regular. But in #Chinese 惑 has a meaning of attractive, so since my youth I always feel that is rather romantic way to think about planet: an attractive star! Wondering what are the other #Hanzi language word for planet? eg #Korean and #Vietnamese ?
Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.
I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users, and @botkit, a simple ActivityPub bot framework.
I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!
After > a decade, I ran HForth again! :D This is a bilingual version of #Forth that also has a #Korean #hangul version. I remember- vaguely, figuring out how to type hangul, but don't remember any words, and I couldn't type some latin letters like E for some reason. So spent a half hour trying to see if I could use what I had to insert an E into the input buffer. So it would execute "BYE" (exit) xD But in the end I just restarted the emulator. (I did try 안녕. It didn't work.) #retrocomputing
The Netflix K-drama "Love Scout" is better than "When the Phone Rings."

Does anyone have any idea why doesn't the #Korean spelling checker in #LibreOffice work?
I'm on #ArchLinux, running version 24.8.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community, I have hunspell 1.7.2 installed, and the LibreOffice extension for language check from here:
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/korean-spellchecker
Unfortunately, this doesn't work, and all the Korean text in LibreOffice is underlined in red, with no suggestions.
What might be the issue? English and Hungarian spell check works as intended.
This #DeepSeek business is beginning to remind me of when first #Japanese and later #Korean automakers began to take over the US market. First cheaper then better then faster.
"History doesn't repeat itself but sometimes it rhymes."
-unknown (actually not Twain)
I'm going to be saying this more than once so, if you see it again, I'm sorry for repeating it...or...maybe someone is #innovating and improving the message. If so, remember this is an #opensource concept, GO FOR IT!
