Is moist crust desirable?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (11 children)

Yes. Here are some common ones in my native language, danish:

  • pga: på grund af (because of)
  • dvs: det vil sige (used for adding additional explaination)
  • ift: i forhold til (in relation to)

I’m certain there are also some more modern slang abbreviations in use, but these change relatively frequently, like they do in English.

Is Apple not going to allow sideloading in the EU soon?

It used to be that they paired a known word with an unknown word, and if you got the known word right you would pass no matter what you wrote for the unknown one.

I wonder if Elon chose a timeframe of 5 years because Yann LeCun won the Turing Award in 2018.

Honestly inflation seems preferable to deflation to me, as long as it isn’t a very fast inflation.

It’s a lyric from a Queen song, so it’s likely the first thing that comes to mind when seeing Freddie Mercury riding Darth Vader.

There is a relic from this system still in use: halvanden (1 and a half). Though I doubt many people know the origin of the word.

The creator of this video also did in-depth reviews of music notation software. After reviewing the free and open source MuseScore he took over the design lead of the project, and it has become considerably better.

When have the titles of entertainment ever been about anything but drawing in an audience? Do you also get mad at the title of movie “Who Framed Rodger Rabbit?”, or do movies have a pass? What about “Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?” These are all entertainment that use a question for the title, even if the answers are not the reason to watch this.

That’s one way to look at it. Another way is to see it as entertainment trying to get you to watch, not a lecture trying to be concise.

Also, the question in the title has an answer which I think is far more interesting than the one given in the comment a few levels above this, and that is the answer the video gives. Sometimes the story told on the way to giving an answer can be more interesting than the actual answer, and this video, as a bonus, goes through the basics of DNS in a way that is digestible for a casual viewer. In my opinion, these are all more interesting than a guy writing “it’s .de”, and are all valid reasons for the video to be titles as it is.

If you had watched the video instead you would know that this isn’t really the point of it.

 

In my opinion, it would be nice to be able to search for communities on specific instances.

Also, would it be possible to have the option to sort or group my community list by instance?

 

I used to use Reddit quite a bit, and got used to using old Reddit with the Reddit Enhancement Suite, which provided keyboard shortcuts for voting, viewing next post, opening posts and so on. Does anyone know of a lemmy front-end that provides this?
