The UK sports experience

That’s her exhaust fan, you pervert!

I always read it as *griner griner*, even though i know it was supposed to be griner godt lol.

I feel like the difference between good game and laughing would be the asterixes.

I remember this GG ^^

And then you gotta type your smiley faces with a nose :-D

Literally

Its even worse than that. It is completely unpredictable and just does what it want. When I type in “Vi”, the first choice is Visual Studio. It will stay on Visual Studio until I have typed in “Visual Studi”. But if I’m a fast typer, and I type in the entirety of “Visual Studio”, it opens Visual Studio Code.

So the fastest way to open up Code is to type “VSC”. This doesn’t work with “VS” for Visual Studio.

I have to type out “Spot” specifically to open Spotify. Typing out Spotify opens edge.

There are also files and programs it cannot find despite having been installed for years, even though I’ve MANUALLY added the paths to the searched directories.

If anyone of you is on Windows for whatever reason and want your mind blown, try downloading a little program called Everything. It can literally find every single program on your computer as fast as you can type. And it looks up exactly what you type in. It also supports wildcard characters etc. This is the kind of behavior I expect from my computer. Sure, make a shiny frontend for casual users who don’t need to see every single file on their system, but please, why do I have to go through third parties to get this experience on an OS that my company paid for, when I can get the same experience out of the box on any free Linux distro?

It’s So Meta Even This Acronym

I have a real simple solution that involves not windows

Mom and Dad staring incredulously as family dinner takes a very unexpected turn.

Europe uses cl, ml and dl. A can of coca Cola is 33 ml, a shot is 2 cl. Then you switch to litres at 0.5l.

We also use decilitre, but only in cooking, and I think most don’t think of it as 0.1 l, but rather just think of it as the size of a measuring cup, i.e. it has more in common with “1 cup of sugar” than with “0.5 liter of water” in terms of how you think about it. More abstract, if that makes sense.

I had ties to both Zee and Zed-speakers growing up, but in my experience, Zee and Zed can be used somewhat interchangeably, even across the pond. This might be in order to account for names (like Z Z Top and Jay Z), puns (such as La-Z for lazy) or even ease of pronounciation - when playing CSGO, I’ve heard Americans refer to the CZ-75 as Cee-Zed-Seventy-Five, because they found it weird to switch between the cee, zee and seven sounds, but I’m not sure how common this is.

I switch. I’m typing this comment out key by key. But I swipe onehanded just as fast.

Same. Like the parent of a child grown up, RIF has been forced to let us go, but not without influencing our direction lol

I find this insight into your feelings interesting!

I used to be an avid participant on reddit, but haven’t been for a long time. Now on Lemmy, I feel like participating again.

I think it’s because it’s on us to make this a great place now. Like, we can’t just migrate and be silent. Or migrate and be assholes. We come here, we gotta participate positively, so I’m just doing my part.

Wow, that is pretty neat! And thanks for introducing me to the lemmyverse explorer. This is honestly all pretty exciting.

Wait, anyone on my instance? So does this mean that signing up for a larger instance, like lemmy.world will have a bigger chance of exposing me to more content, considering the larger chance of someone being subscribed cross-instances, in which case that content has a chance of showing up on my feed? Is that correctly understood?
