For those people, the “free” services they’re using aren’t “bad enough” for them to bother leaving. Couple that with the majority of people they care about also staying, and that’s the result.
Those people piss me off so bad. Latest example being Meta's Threads logo having "666". There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of Zucc and his bullshit, but it's such a fucking stretch. It distracts from the real issues with that company.
It’s so useless that I actually feel better having that minus symbol next to the number in any post/comment that I make. Because I love the felling of shame. Yeah, I’m f***ing weird.
I suppose you pronounce jpeg as “j-fey-g” too, then, since the P stands for “Photographic”?
Or perhaps you argue that to doesn’t count since it’s on the P and not the Ph included in the acronym. In which case I guess we’re just abandoning all connection to the root words and we’re back to the fact that it’s okay to pronounce it “jif”.
Also the creator pronounces it jif because he was goofing on Jif peanut butter and wanted a “choosy devs choose GIF” joke. So I’m going with that.
Doesn’t it hurt your point that we don’t pronounce giraffe with a ‘z’ anymore? Pronunciations change, ultimately as long as people understand what I mean when I say “jif” it’s fine.
I for one am happy to know that the food I purchase is strictly carbon-based and doesn't contain fillers made up from ground-up Horta carcasses or whatever.
