    How come I can see your posts from this account but not from my Lemmy sfw account?

  • Tories hit rock bottom with support hitting record low of 20 per cent, new poll shows
  • The bottom is zero and they're still not there somehow.

  • What does "next Saturday" mean
  • Why say many words when few work? Or whatever the Office quote is.

    It would be efficient if (when) the meaning was adequately conveyed. If the usage necessitates a back-and-forth then that is inefficient.

  • What does "next Saturday" mean
  • Definitely versatile

  • What does "next Saturday" mean
  • It goes like this

    "Next Saturday"

    "You mean this Saturday? Or next Saturday?"

    "Next Saturday"

  • Changing file extension does nothing. You would need to reencode the files in order to change what encoding (jpg or png) they use. BUT good news is JPGs only lose quality when they're encoded. Moving the files around or zipping them up won't change the contents of the file, so they won't lose quality. Unless you're opening them in an image editor or something like that and re-saving them, you're good. Same goes for compressed audio.

  • Why is the caret made, and why does it blink?
  • The subject in question is a "caret". It's also known by the more generic word cursor (or slightly more specific "text cursor") but seeing as there's a specific word for the item in question it makes sense to use that, even if both are appropriate. They're all a kind of symbol so we could just call it that. But that's even less helpful, isn't it.

  • Should I cancel?
  • I would, yeah.

  • Why are people putting "tho" at the end of sentences now?

  • Beer and Wine are vegan drinks.
  • I can't see mushroom for improvement

  • Which TV series intros do you not skip by choice?

  • What Podcasts are you listening to?
    • Behind the Bastards
    • Last Podcast on the Left
    • Infinite Monkey Cage
    • We Can Be Weirdos
    • The Adam Buxton Podcast
    • Betwixt the Sheets
  • Controversial games of the past.
  • Is that last one a specific game or did a developer do that?

  • There's probably a word I've been pronouncing wrong my whole life that I don't know about
  • It's English. The only rule is that actually in some cases the rules are different.
