I mean in the technical sense, so shells ≠ cartridges, and sure they might be capable of it, but it is not really a thing that happens often enough for it to be a normal thing.

It’s not even over-analyzing. A revolver does not take shells; they use cartridges, which are not shells. That’s just a simple fact.

One that is designed for revolvers, not shotguns? (And yes, I know about revolver shotguns, but those are mainly just a gimmicky and not really ever used in most contexts. I’m talking about handgun revolvers.)

I get it’s a joke, but that’s a revolver, which doesn’t take shells.

I don’t. I was making fun of this post.

It is using the age-old “girls vs boys” trope, and therefore juvenile.

Yeah, that’s not what cisgender or any variant thereof means.

Also, we’re describing a stereotype, not saying it’s true. Don’t shift blame or topic.

Now you’re just playing stupid, obviously to troll, a game I am not willing to play.

Goodbye.

It’s not Lemmy; it’s the instance you’re using.

Prescriptivism vs descriptivism.

The technical definition is as I described above.

It’s only been expanded in common dictionaries because the dictionaries practice descriptivism, i.e. they reflect not what is the best definition, but how it’s most often used.

In other words, just because it’s in the dictionary doesn’t mean the word means that in a technical context; it just means that’s how it’s commonly meant when used in everyday parlance.

Exactly!

I mean, if you look in dictionaries, you’ll see both definitions, but as I said to another user in this thread, dictionaries include a definition because it is common, not because it is accurate. Just look up the term “literal”; most common dictionaries define it as meaning either “literal” or “figurative”.

Words exist fundamentally to communicate something; if a term is defined so as to be ambiguous, it has failed in that purpose.

electrocuted

You mean shocked.

If you got electrocuted, you’d be dead.

I used to think it’s boring. I still do, but not so much ever since I learned it was invented by the Scottish.

Is there any future for the GTK-based Desktop Environments? (ludditus.com)

This article was written in the sense of bashing gnome but yet some points seem to be valid. It explains the history of gtk 1 to 4 and the influence of gnome in gtk. I’m not saying gnome is bad here, instead I find this an interesting to read and I’m sharing it.

Not sure about the similarities here, but I actually love GTK when it comes to app design. It’s one of the things I miss about Linux in Windows. (Yes, I’m a Windows user—not by choice, though.) About the only thing I hate about it is that for some reason a lot of GTK app designers think a simpler design should mean less functionality. Gimme my damn right-click context menus dammit! >_<
