  • The wiki page on chocolate is not so sure about that one:

    Despite a popular belief that chocolate derives from the Nahuatl word chocolatl, early texts documenting the Nahuatl word for chocolate drink use a different term, cacahuatl, meaning “cacao water”. Several alternatives have therefore been proposed. In one, chocolate is derived from the hypothetical Nahuatl word xocoatl, meaning “bitter drink”. Scholars Michael and Sophie Coe consider this unlikely, saying that there is no clear reason why the ‘sh’ sound represented by ‘x’ would change to ‘ch’, or why an ‘l’ would be added.[4] Another theory suggests that chocolate comes from chocolatl, meaning ‘hot water’ in a Mayan language. However, there is no evidence of the form ‘chocol’ being used to mean hot.[4] Despite the uncertainty about its Nahuatl origin, there is some agreement that chocolate likely derives from the Nawat word chikola:tl.[5]

  • As someone who uses GrapheneOS with Sandboxed Google Play for nearly a year now, I am struggling to think about why one would not be able to use it as their daily driver. It has all the features of a regular Pixel phone, except with more security. And the security features are not even some high-level enthusiast stuff, it is (among others) some really basic features like restricting internet access for specific apps or only giving apps read permission for specific folders on your phone instead of everything. Basic security and privacy features that every device should have.
