My take is that the fediverse is wholesome. Today’s news isn’t but that is our current reality and the topics on a social network will always cover current events.

But when you really pay attention to the people here, they are wholesome. And if what you see is a lot of terrible people in your feed, start watching the instances they are coming from. Frequently the difference between a good and bad experience here is how well you curate your feed and how well your instance is moderated.

Why you gotta do Yaphit like that?

I never thought I would have a healthy relationship with ASD+ADHD. I found someone who is my equal and we have an extremely fulfilling relationship that’s full of both amazing fun moments and frustrating ones, but we always understand each other. Which helps with our son as well, as he’s a carbon copy of us.

That chubby little guy is loving life.

Starting projects.

I’ll update when I’m gold at finishing them.

Try the Droidify app. I find it better than the main FDroid app.

Fucking old rebuilt Dodge

Looks like it was a combo of both, reading about it further. https://www.rd.com/article/americans-british-pronounce-zee/

Regional dialects at first, but then the dictionary declared it the official pronunciation and shortly after the song was produced, which would have spread the use from being regional and encouraged homogenization

And at least they aren’t being cut so fast that the last episode will come out as Riker playing on the holodeck just as the show was getting into the good stuff.

Americans used to pronounce Z the same as the rest of the world until someone wrote the ABC song and decided it needed to rhyme with V, and then an entire generation grew up saying it wrong and it stuck. At least that is what I’ve heard in Canada.

It’s also why there is a Canadian version of Sesame street where the last verse doesnt rhyme because up until the late 90s our TV censors used to straight up nope things that would cause kids to be confused about how things should be pronounced.

Not just the threats, but the deafening silence from Americans in general about it (outside Lemmy) is something we will not forget for a generation.

…and yet people not only believe this crap but try to pass it off as science.

Canadians pay it and are hopefully turned to other options, smaller companies, and hopefully Canadian ones. That would drive Amazon’s business down, and that hurts the billionaires more than the tax.

Because it targets his buddies Zuck and Besos.

I respect your opinion, but I lived through 90s computing and think dongles died the death they deserve and these phone manufacturers can go to hell for bringing them back or thinking that bluetooth audio is good enough.

Additionally most of the droids I have bought that have a jack are the perfect thickness in my mind. Weighted enough to stay in my hand and take a couple dozen drops without accident. Plus the headphone jack is used as an antenna and provides radio capabilities so I can listen to local news instead of whatever the tech industry wants to feed me. Which is a nice option.

But are they dependent on OPEC oil when they are buying Russia’s?
