Slow and sustainable growth over fast unsustainable growth that makes Lemmy bloat and explode because it couldn’t expand fast enough. (Sorry for the metaphor if the wording is a bit off)

Tagalog: siya. 3rd person singular.

Nandito siya. He is here. She is here. They are here.

but wanted her to do it for free because he couldn’t be bothered or didn’t have the money.

People demanding free art are a staple of my olden days reading r/entitledpeople (technically it’s more that i listen to a human narrate posts from there while coding). Block and move on, like what everyone else has already said.

Last I checked it costs too much to engrave wikipedia articles into headstones.

What’s the wildest sentence you’ve had to write to cater to the aforementioned corporate five year olds? Like say, a painfully obvious thing that is apparently a very niche detail?

I have a personal MediaWiki installation on my computer (same software as Wikipedia). Been running it since 2022. Most recent offsite backup is from the start of December. I also have a very Wikipedia-like writing style as a result, too.

Any of my descendants, if they will ever exist, will probably have a great time going through great-grandpa’s writings 🙂

Hell, this month I made it into a Kiwix Zim file that I can read when away, but of course that doesn’t support writing to it, so I sometimes write in a physical logbook when I’m away from my computer

never been to the Rumble Quarantine Zone but I would put on a hazmat suit first if I were you

I can definitely see a Derry/Londonderry situation forming regarding the city’s name. I prefer the name Port Elizabeth though, I have a thing for feminine given names and linguistics. Oh, and that linguistics obsession of mine has granted me the ability to do the Gq-click. And I’m not even South African!

And my brain is still obsessed with trying to ask as many South Africans as possible about the city’s name so… thank you for the answer, haha

Speaking of South Africa, what do people in the Eastern Cape call that large city? You know… that city that got renamed?

Almost forgot to mention but here in the Philippines, our basketball teams are the ones with the sponsored names…

There’s so many I’ll pick a random one: A picker tool. I play a game called OpenTTD and pressing F to select a decoration object I’ve already placed instead of scrolling through the menu and accelerating the rate at which I develop carpal tunnel to find the object

learning keyboard shortcuts

stop it

i’m just gonna generalize this to “any year before 1600” and edit the title
