I love how both pronunciations work here. Exit or shit.
press X to quit.
G’day mate! Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!
It’s Austrian
Oh, sorry…
Buen dia senor! Mi aerodeslizador esta lleno de anguilas!
rambling about selfhosting
I saw someone suggesting that organizations should host instances, then I’m now thinking, that’s the most smart shit ever!
- You can control your data
- Own rules so you don’t get banned over random shit
- Third pro
of course there would be some work to host and mantain it, but it would surely be hella nice to have goverments and etc doing this stuff
I would love for that to take off, that’s what I’ve been wanting into too. Problem is they have to handle moderation, but I think there are solutions to it
Highly based
When you’re too fascist for the Austrians…
#XODUS
Why is this the first time I’m hearing X-it? That’s pretty good.
You probably haven’t heard “X-it” because everyone still calls it Twitter.
I still call it Twitter because it pisses Musk off. Not that he is on Lemmy, but principal of the matter.
I call it X to piss off X users so they quit. Musk doesn’t read my posts.
Source on it pissing him off?
Yeah: https://archive.ph/u9GHg
Hmmm, that to me sounds like he’s trolling to drive engagement. At least that is the result he got.
Daily reminder that the X in Xitter is pronounced ‘Shi’ like in Chinese
there’s a mastodon client by the name of shitter
Maybe I should try it out… it’s not Moshidon, but it has a perfect name!
It took me 3 tries to realize she wasn’t saying “We took a moment to locate our nearest shit.”
She?
No, She is the current president, Who is the last president of China.
Well, you never really think about where the nearest shit is to you
Hey speak for yourself. i think about this ALL the time when i go to the dog park
it might be behind you
It was inside you all along.
music swells
But i do think about where the nearest xitter (shitter) is.
I hope this leads to many other companies using their abandonment of Xitter as a way to dunk on them in a viral way.
Can we start saying shxitter now?
xitter is pronounced “shitter”
I’ve called it zhitter since the original switch.
When will the Musk-child sue them?
Are they on another platform like BlueSky or Mastodon?
Dude, you’ve failed your reading comprehension.
My favourite urban legend is that there’s a special desk at the Vienna airport for people who accidentally flew to Austria instead of Australia.
I went to Vienna for a conference for work in 2016. When I got back, I turned in my receipts, and the admin assistant helpfully typed up my reimbursement paperwork, carefully converting to USD from Australian dollars.
It was at that moment that I was glad I’d made my own flight and hotel reservations.
Not quite as fun but my mum works for postal services in Austria and there’s a special stamp for mail accidentally sent to Austria instead of Australia
The volume of missent mail has certainly gone down in recent years due to both communication moving online and international post adopting more precise adress systems, but 10-15 years ago you could get parcels with multiple “missent to Austria - missent to Australia” stamps on them due to some incompetent people not realizing where it should actually go.
Same the other way around. And for the Koreas
I’ve had ‘missent to Australia; try Austria’ hand written on a parcel, so I didn’t know that!
Imagine the shenanigans if a small town in Australia with a small airport was named Vienna
Autocorrect.
