vrighter, to memes in How do y'all say GIF?

neither do divers use “self contained OOnderwater breathing apparatus”, usually written as SCUBA.

Nor do we say jPHeg files.

Nor “north AYYtlantic treaty OHHrganization”

or “light AYYmplification by stimulated emnssion of radiation”

vrighter, to memes in I didn’t plan this far ahead

and even worse, sometimes they even reply days later!

vrighter, to comicstrips in JPEG

it’s an acronym (as opposed to initialisms, which are not pronounced as a single word). There is no rule on pronunciation.

scuba nato laser

We don’t do this for any other acronym. There is no rule about the pronunciation. It’s arbitrary. The creator chose “jif”, so that’s the “canonical” one.

vrighter, to linux in What devices run with free firmware?

yeah, no you have a misconception of what risc-v is.

Risc-v is an isa not a chip. the isa is open, available to anyone.

Implementations of risc-v (actual working designs) are usually not open. They are just guaranteed to be able to execute risc-v instructions.

So risc-v is neither more nor less vulnerable to hardware backdoors than any other architecture

vrighter, to memes in How to start the day off strong

so how come they’re so rare nowadays? I mean everyone had one back then, why aren’t the overwhelming majority of these appliances still with us? Survivorship bias, that’s why

vrighter, to linux in Does Wayland really break everything? (Nate Graham's OG post ref'd in the Phoronix article)

“that thing you used to do is now impossible to do consistently across different implementations, if at all. But it’s all ok, because we have decided it’s not our responsibility!”

That is not what users want to hear. From a user’s point of view, it is broken.

vrighter, to memes in Japan is living in the future that the 1990s dreamed of.

you’re wrong for valuing peace of mind.

vrighter, to memes in Google now

there’s the part that google added on top, which isn’t open.

And then there’s rcs itself, which isn’t open either. You need to get a license from the gsma

vrighter, to linux in Mandrake Linux 10.0, from 2004. They still work too. Had to buy them on disc, slow dialup internet in those days.

mandrake was my first linux distro. I got it from a german magazine in 2004
