…do you pronounce GIMP with a soft G?
for all 3 of these projects the main way ive heard them said is with a hard G, i know there is a debate with GNOME as to pronounce the G or not (as in the word “gnome”), idk if a similar debate exists with GNU
imo, there’s no wrong way to pronounce a word, as long as people know what you’re talking about, it’s fine
the action of crossing a road somewhere where there’s no pedestrian crossing, or while it’s not the pedestrian’s turn
it’s a word that was invented by car lobbies to turn something done by humans for millennia (cross a road) into a shameful action, and in some places, a crime
holy shit is that why a common word for reusable water bottles in french is gourde??? whoa
idk, but the G in GIMP (ugh) does stand for GNU
i wonder if it’s also the official reason that it’s (typically) pronounced in GNOME?
honestly kinda disappointed they switched to calendar versioning, it makes identifying big releases much harder
GNU IMP (i refuse to say the short name) 3.0.0 was such an event, it’s sad knowing libreoffice can’t really have that
the moral of this story, im guessing:
So remember kids, if Jeffrey did hurt children, he did it because he loved them very much! If your parents seem mean to you, or do things to you that you don’t want, it’s because they want what’s best for you. ☺️
im not kidding i genuinely can see a prageru kids video ending this way, if one doesn’t already. they’ve legitimized child abuse on their main channel before
i mean, if it sucks at this, why put it in lol
(rhetorical question, it’s to please investors, i know)
i mean yea, colonialism was is a pan-european crime, i don’t think anyone was saying the contrary
“oh hey I should play this game I love!”
continues to aimlessly scroll lemmy, tumblr and reddit
when we talk about men being dangerous, it’s not in a “LITERALLY ALL MEN ARE EVIL RAPISTS” way.
it’s in a “treat every gun as if it were loaded” way.
it always amuses me when people complain about stuff like this
words that people use are being put in the big list of words that people use??? oh noes!!!
for real, on windows getting an update meant “ugh what thing do i need to disable now”
now on Linux, it’s “whoa, that’s a cool feature!” and “OMG THEY FINALLY FIXED THAT FINALLY”
the most negative thing is when they change something and you gotta get used to the new way. im not the biggest fan of the recent changes to Dolphin (the file manager, not the emulator), but it’s fine and I’ll get used to it. it’s not worse now, just different
i hope he wins the lawsuit (the forced migration with no refunds was very bad), but dammit that guy sounds insufferable.
in the first video, one of his main motivators for starting the lawsuit, was that he made a server with guns, mojang made servers with guns against their eula, but just after this guy paid the 1000$ for the twitter gold checkmark on his server’s account…
mojang making shitty eula decisions sucks, but is it grounds to sue? idk
kagi translate is also the best translation service ive used so far. better than google translate, even
i know activision did it with the crash team racing remake. at launch, you could buy in game items (like racers) with in-game currency. it’s a currency you only obtained through playing the game, you couldn’t buy it with real money.
…until activision made it possible to buy the in game currency, and to accompany that, tremendously raised the price of all the items to entice you to pay…
I think the trick is to just let kids play what they want
as a kid I grew up with basically every generation of nintendo consoles up to the Wii U, as well as a PC (well, a mac really but whatever) and I turned out fine
i missed out on some of the big sensations of the moment, like fortnite or COD, but tbh I didn’t care, these games never interested me and they still don’t
she’s still a real person. and it’s not like people don’t do this to famous women who aren’t billionaires
yea you can truly feel the seething rage dripping from every orifice of this comment. in fact, as I wrote this the toxic tears falling down my cheeks acidified the soil, ruining its fertility potential for centuries to come. you tell me to touch grass, but alas, as a result of my overdriven ovarian emotional state all vegetation in a 10 kilometer radius has been utterly obliterated. c’est la vie.
can’t help but notice that most of those trunks are empty too
