Agreed. I think since the “G” stands for “graphics” it should be pronounced like the G in graphics.

And the number of electoral votes hasn’t been updated in forever, so they aren’t really proportional to the state’s population anymore. California, for example, should have more votes than it currently does.
As of the end of June they significantly relaxed the rules around the path to citizenship, including dual citizenship. Anyone can now do it if the other country also allows dual citizenship.
Add this to trying to trademark the word “punk”, not paying artists doing work for them, using job applications as a means to get free work/ideas, and many, many other awful things…
I once heard a non-native English speaker tell me they remember “on” vs. “in” as “if you can walk around while on it (train, plane, bus) then it’s on, if you can’t (car) then it’s in.”
I kind of liked that description.

And the other classic MLK quote about “the white moderate”:
I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice […]
Yeah, I’ve been living in Germany. Learned quite quickly to never trust a “joint”.
Ya’ll should learn the word “spliff”. That’s what it’s for.
If that’s what people want to do on their own, that’s fine. My issue is when they hand it to you saying it’s a joint, only to be surprised when it’s basically a cigarette with a tiny bit of weed sprinkled in. I hate smoking tobacco.
I’ve quickly learned to always ask what is actually in it before accepting.
No, the article says that Epic Games “laid off 16% of its [Epic Games’] workforce, or 830 employees”.
I believe Bandcamp was ~120 people total – so 60 laid off.
I believe the correct name is “Y’all-Qaeda” :)
Everyone that has existed did have existence forced upon them though.
Doesn’t mean you have to be miserable, but existing was not a consensual decision (as far as we are currently able to understand).
No humans = nothing around to construct the concept of problems or to philosophize on their existence or solutions.
Everything solved!
Some other decent ones in my opinion:
I would give both Dishonored and Prey a shot — I had a better time with those than Deathloop.
Not sure if it’s even possible though in current enterprise/governmental structures :(
Yeah… sadly, it’s already difficult enough getting governments to even agree that internet infrastructure itself should be a public utility. Even though it has long been at the point where you absolutely need it to participate in society (depending on where you live, of course) and largely been funded by the public through taxes.
From the web interface it’s pretty easy. You can either go to the community page and click the “Block Community” button in the sidebar, or you can go to your Settings
or you can go to Settings -> Blocks
and manually search for the community to block there
If you’re using a mobile app it will depend on how the app has implemented it, but generally it involves going to the community page and tapping the hamburger/meatball (3 lines/3 dots) menu and selecting Block from there (might have to view the Sidebar, then block from there).
It seems not all of the apps have implemented blocking yet. I can’t seem to find a way to do it in wefwef, but Mlem and Memmy have it, for example.
My current understanding is that you can only block individual communities, not entire instances.
It’s a bit unfortunate — I would also like to block at the instance level.
I’ve always had good experiences with Audionews
🤷 just cause?
Also, “gift”
Have any examples where the first letter of the acronym isn’t pronounced the same? (I’m sure there are some)
