The ancient Arcadians actually pronounced it .flif

AzuleBlade , in I had to post from my alt account because lemmy.world servers are down

I switched to lemm.ee, it’s much more stable since it’s not constantly being attacked by script kiddies. I have a theory a user got banned, and is making it their personal mission to ruin .world’s performance. Please donate to your home instance owner(s) if they have that set up. Even if it’s just a little, it can make everyone’s experience better.

alcoholicorn ,

That wouldn’t surprise me, I’ve seen ddos’s against smaller servers over dumber things.

But given that they preemptively ban instances for not supporting NATO and the IMF and don’t preemptively ban nazi, transphobe, and pedophile instances, fuck em.

The fediverse is weaker if .world is allowed to color people’s perception of Lemmy.

Don’t optimize the shit out of the game, just play them for as long as they are fun and ditch them afterwards.

iamak , in Jiv me a break

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💀

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

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

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).

meldrik ,

Lemmy.world is run by the same people as mastodon.world. I guess a lot of users from mastodon.world went to Lemmy.world and the rest was word of mouth.

Laticauda ,

I think the name does a lot of heavy lifting in regards to pulling in new users. It sounds more official or general because of the world part.

tea ,

Yeah, people just want a “generic” place because they generally don’t want to be pidgeon holed. I have nice and inoffensive lemmy.world and lemmy.today accounts because of this. I’m basically a vanilla NPC in my life and “sh.itjust.works” is simply too spicy!

ikapoz ,

I’m on the spicy instance? I couldn’t tell.

Also Sync has it as default.

asdfasdfasdf ,

lemmy.world isn’t run by communists

kameecoding ,

that sounds like a downside, unless you mean the kinda USSR/Chinese “communists” that are just state capitalists/feudalists

Laticauda ,

Well lemmygrad.ml loves to make memes about how great the Chinese government is and how everyone who criticises the Chinese government is just mean, and they’re kind of the poster child for lemmy.ml, so…

kameecoding ,

well those are like pro fascist people, not exactly communists, because current china is very much fascistic in it’s behavior.

Not like the actual fascist cuddling neo-libs that run Lemmy world . Stop using words you don’t understand. Here is a response to Lemmy world preemptively Defederate hexbear (since the wrong opinions are not allowed on Lemmy world) lemmygrad.ml/post/1120052

kameecoding ,

hey man, don’t care about your whataboutism, if you think China is a communist country and you are a big fan of what you are doing, then you like fascism simple as.

LoveSausage ,
@LoveSausage@lemmygrad.ml avatar

if I was, you would be incorrect. Go read a book. .world is run by fascist cuddling neolibs either way. You shouldn’t use words you don’t understand.

kameecoding ,

sure buddy, whatever makes you feel better

Reliant1087 ,

That’s exactly the kind of people who run ml sadly.

Hikiru ,

I heard lemmy.ml is run by genocide denying tankies so that put me off from it a little

I think the draw is that it’s trying really hard to basically be Reddit on the fediverse. For the people who use the fediverse as a Reddit alternative that is probably seen as good.

spectre ,

For the rest of us: that shit’s lame as hell

To each their own though

EmotionalSupportLancet ,
@EmotionalSupportLancet@hexbear.net avatar

I agree, they’re speedrunning every bad decision that allows Reddit to be such a festering reactionary shithole.

The Reddit refugee wave is mad about Apollo not the fact Reddit sucks lol.

maracuya ,

wjats so good about lemmy.world compared to lemmy.ml

nothing. lemmy.ml just makes more sense to me.i figure the devs of the protocol should be able to maintain and update their own server, and so far that has proven to be correct.

thantik , in I had to post from my alt account because lemmy.world servers are down

Lemmy goes down more than a 2 dollar hooker on a Friday night. But the only reason I care is because I don’t use the other site.

son_named_bort , in So happy this is something we left behind (mostly)

We did it, Lemmy!

DragonTypeWyvern , (edited ) in 0_o

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

pinkdrunkenelephants , in Posting my favorite memes

Video games haven’t been worth playing for a long while now.

AllegedHoister ,

Maybe if all you’re looking at is the big AAA releases (even then I don’t agree). But there have been so many cool indie and AA games that have come out in recent years. Last year most of my favorite games were games I’d never heard of before they released. If you can’t find games worth playing then you’re not looking hard enough.

pinkdrunkenelephants ,

Meh. Most indie games are mid. Stardew Valley is just boring garbage and you can’t even get the latest version on your phone.

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

Oh, I’m sure they are monitoring it ! They want all the juocy info to better blackmail the politicians to secure their jobs.
