does Brazil have an outsized influence on Portuguese language development through media?

I don't know since I only interact with other Brazilians, though from what I can remember of early to mid 2010s internet, European Portuguese was preferred over Brazilian Portuguese (as in, when a website or app had a PT translation it'd wouldn't be PT-BR).
Nowadays, I believe both are commonly available.

Are Brazilian and continental Portuguese different enough to be called dialects?

The most common way to refer to Brazilian Portuguese that I've seen is that it's a variant of European Portuguese, I'm not a linguist so I don't know the difference between a variant and a dialect.

    Would you call yourself a feminist? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
    [–] 4 points 1 month ago (7 children)

    If Feminism is equality between genders, then yes, I am a feminist.
    But if Feminism is unconditional trust towards women, then no, I'm not a feminist.

    In my experience people who call themselves feminists often put women above men, and will deny any criticism towards them because they're women, and women never do anything bad.

    TIL about Gamergate (ant) in c/til@lemmy.ca

    TIL about Gamergate (ant) (en.wikipedia.org)
     

    From the wikipedia page:

    A gamergate (/ˈɡæmərˌɡeɪt/ GAM-ər-gayt) is a mated worker ant that can reproduce sexually, i.e., lay fertilized eggs that will develop as females. In the vast majority of ant species, workers are sterile and gamergates are restricted to taxa where the workers have a functional sperm reservoir ('spermatheca'). In some species, gamergates reproduce in addition to winged queens (usually upon the death of the original foundress), while in other species the queen caste has been completely replaced by gamergates. In gamergate species, all workers in a colony have similar reproductive potentials, but as a result of physical interactions, a dominance hierarchy is formed and only one or a few top-ranking workers can mate (usually with foreign males) and produce eggs. Subsequently, however, aggression is no longer needed as gamergates secrete chemical signals that inform the other workers of their reproductive status in the colony.

    Depending on the species, there can be one gamergate per colony (monogyny) or several gamergates (polygyny). Most gamergate species have colonies with a few hundred or fewer workers.

    Any projects that want/require translations from English to Portuguese(Brazil)? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/55631988

    Recently I started doing translation suggestions for co-maps, and I felt like this was a good way to contribute to OSS (since I don't have much money lying around).

    Are there any other projects that you know of that want/require translations to Pt-Br?
