Does that mean you also pronounce scuba sku•ba instead of skoo•bah? Because that U stands for Underwater not OOnderwater. And what about Jpeg? Shouldn’t it be Jeg because the P in photographic is silent.
I imagine your complaint was referring to a community name in the abstract “/c/iso8601” rather than the proper Lemmy centralized name !lemmy.ml!@/c/iso8601 or whatever the horrible format that it is
My complaint was about the “subreddits as hashtags” thing that people did on Reddit where they’d link a non-existent sub (or one that only contained screenshots of people linking to it) instead of thinking of something original.
Separately, what’s wrong with the !iso8601 format? It’s pretty simple to remember and is very much part of the federated way that Lemmy is designed to be used!
Linking communitirs !iso8601!@someinstance is one of the core reasons why Lemmy failed to capture even 1% of 1% of 1% of Reddit’s userbase at probably the greatest time of turmoil of discontent with that site for the next 5 years.
This formulation insist on centralizing communities in single instances and creates both fragmentation of the community while also making them concentrated on whatever the biggest one is.
The few users that make it past the registration catastrophe, when they realize this is how communities work, they just leave, because it means Lemmy isn’t federated where it counts. Communities end up owned by a single instance owner and mod team. It’s Reddit except somehow worse.
That is the point, then we can finally lay Christianity to rest. It is clear the majority of Christians are not followers of Christ. Killing off or ignoring their own prophet would force them to recognize they are just authoritarian assholes.
I grew up without ever having to say it out loud, and the first time I did I say “dot Gee Eye Eff”.
I stand by this as the correct pronunciation. .exe, .pdf, .html, .PNG, etc you say as “dot” followed by the letters, why should .jpg and .gif be any different?
I believe one of the overpriced Google tablets actually did use 1: √2 ratio, but they didn’t stick with it. Of course, google has the attention span of a lobotomized gerbil so they don’t stick with anything.
