Man I read this as butt plug 😵

I agree with you. But I disagree on this rule avoiding confusion. I think it does the opposite. I think that’s why most speakers ignore it.

just because a native English speaker ignores a rule in their own language that doesn’t really speak much about the language, it says more about the speaker

It doesn’t. If the speakers of a language ignore a “rule”, that says more about the rule itself. Eventually, a rule like the one we’re discussing will cease to exist since it only complicates communication, as has happened to past rules and words.

I also have an issue with calling it “standard”. “Standard” is whatever everyone uses. Following rules that no one else does makes you sound robotic. It’s why so many guides on pronounciation in English fail. They go off of how the word is spelt and ignore how people actually say it.

This guy’s being pedantic. I say “a software” all the time.

It’s important to understand how a language works, but don’t let grammar Nazis trick you into caring about minor rules even English speakers ignore.

each of the profiles would be their own instance

So each author would need to host their own infrastructure? I’m not sure I follow

The real question is who’s willing to help develop this software if someone were to start work on it

I disable IPv6 to reduce the vector

And there is a last reason, which is less rigorous but matters to us just as much. We write software because we enjoy writing software […] We are not interested in optimizing away the reason we do this.

cops a flogging

I hate this exaggeration. If it’s not a real flogging, I’m not interested

Can we at least try eating grasshoppers first?

Why?

Becoming a furry just to get in a line of work is like changing religion for the community support

Imagine a company making GPUs with little to no VRAM, just for gamers…

I’m fine with running games on 1080p, I just want dynamic lighting, shadows and reflections

I can’t really articulate why but I do think this should be in /c/piracy

There are alternatives like go-away, iocaine, etc.

You could also just send them a PDF or HTML file explaining how Anubis works, and refuse to send the URL or mascot until they are convinced to implement it.

Ah right, my bad

If you add all the positive changes, you get 179k. This is 23.9% of GenZ according to the map, so the map claims there are 749k GenZ in total (of which 23.9% moved).

I’m not sure how they are calculating under 1 million GenZ in 2024. Anyway, the map is still bad for not doing population density per state.

managed to prevent the half-feral asshole from killing it

I’m sad this happened to you, but people keep cats as pets to rid the place of rodents. Your cat probably does this on the regular, and showed you this one because it was extra proud of it.

I have so many filters just to block depressing news… Also to block strange hive mind posts about beans etc.

That’s one thing you can do here that you (no longer) can on Reddit
