Username checks out can be very funny since it often well… leads to the username and adds another layer of joke.
It needs to fit though of course.

Fuck parents that try to decide life for their kids and impose their will on them.

"You were born to do what I couldn't"

How about no?

MajinBlayze ,

Often enough “saying no” falls under things they couldn’t do

My parents were like this and I was a good boy up until university once I started failing engineering.

Tried to suicide by police but here in Canada they just take you to a mental hospital instead of filling you with lead.

Moral of the story is let your kids be themselves and don’t make them feel bad for having their own interests even if it is not in engineering

I don’t think posting particularly gross decade old boomer Facebook memes is the kind of site Lemmy should strive to be

We did it, Lemmy!

I wonder if these tools have a way to batch download all the images from my saved posts.

Why do people have to pronounced it in any way? Why not say G-I-F? I’ve been saying it like that since before I knew about the huge debate💀

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@sh.itjust.works avatar

Because that’s 3 syllables instead of 1. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): piped.video/watch?v=tUezwdHP3uA

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Cuz the devs explicitly named it after the peanut butter and even gave it a catchphrase to make sure you pronounced it correctly. It was a marketing campaign. “Choosy developers choose gif”.

Soundhole ,

It’s a real shame (for them) they don’t dictate how the English language works

pythonoob ,

Neither do you?

seitanic ,
@seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

How do you pronounce JIF, then? (That’s the JPEG Interchange Format.)

pythonoob ,

Gif, clearly.

snowe ,
@snowe@programming.dev avatar

The same way? There’s thousands of words in the English language with the same pronunciation and different spellings. This isn’t the dunk you think it is.

Besides, gif existed first. If JIF wanted to use the name without confusion maybe they should have come out first (missed it by half a decade) or come up with a catchy phrase.

argv_minus_one ,

That’s JPEG .

seitanic ,
@seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Right there in the first paragraph, it says

The base specifications for a JPEG container format are defined in Annex B of the JPEG standard, known as JPEG Interchange Format (JIF).

WarmSoda , to memes in Jiv me a break

The ancient Arcadians actually pronounced it .flif

Nyla_Smokeyface , to memes in Jiv me a break

I was devastated to learn the creators intended it to be pronounced “jif” like the peanut butter brand

Taako_Tuesday ,

Me too. I feel like no one pronounced it jif before they said that, and now we have to have an eternal debate over it

snowe ,
@snowe@programming.dev avatar

That’s literally how every programmer pronounced it before it became an Internet sensation. It had a marketing campaign to “sell” the format because that’s how new standards were created initially. They explicitly chose to name it after the peanut butter because it allowed them to give it a catchy phrase to sell it even better “choosy developers choose gif”.

Soundhole ,

You mean steal a catchy phrase lol.

Surface_Detail ,

Yeah, because it’s a jraphical interface format.

kittenspronkles ,

So do you say j-feg? Because the p stands for photographic

KIM_JONG_JUICEBOX ,

Giraffical

pythonoob ,

One of the common nonsensical arguments heard. What’s the next one?

SeedyOne ,

One of the few times I don’t care what the creator says, he was wrong.

MeetInPotatoes ,

And yet your mind knows it’s not possible for him to be wrong since he named it.

dandroid ,

I say dʒɪf, but the way the person who invented it wants you to say it is a really dumb basis for how something is pronounced, imo.

They’re an ally because they kill slightly browner people

Tb0n3 ,

They’re an ally mostly because Christian Fundamentalists need it to exist to justify their coming end times prophecies.

RegularGoose ,

This is the actual real answer. They say it openly all the time.

Spambox , to memes in So happy this is something we left behind (mostly)

It’d be real nice if someone created a browser addon that auto-downvoted these same comments and puns. With enough users you could wipe out anyone wanting to make the comments when they get 100 down votes just by people with the addon loading the comments section.

ijeff ,
@ijeff@lemdro.id avatar

Automatically hiding them would be fine, but I personally wouldn’t be comfortable with any upvote or downvote automation.

luciferofastora ,

Yeah, automatic voting gets dangerously close to automatic censorship and botting.

Also, human language, context and nuance is complicated and the unknown error bar on “correctly flagged posts” scares me. It’s not entirely predictable what kind of posts people may make, and accordingly not entirely predictable what the plugin would and wouldn’t recognise.

A post chain “Madness?” / “THIS” / “IS” / “SPARTA!” may make sense and be fun in the right context, but the “THIS” comment could get botted to hell.

How do you say gin or giraffe? Or literally the letter G?

I pronounce them like Gin and Giraffe
