  • I suppose you pronounce jpeg as “j-fey-g” too, then, since the P stands for “Photographic”?

    Or perhaps you argue that to doesn’t count since it’s on the P and not the Ph included in the acronym. In which case I guess we’re just abandoning all connection to the root words and we’re back to the fact that it’s okay to pronounce it “jif”.

    Also the creator pronounces it jif because he was goofing on Jif peanut butter and wanted a “choosy devs choose GIF” joke. So I’m going with that.

    Also it makes people mad and that’s funny.





  • Yes and no. My daily scrolling habit has been moved to lemmy and I haven’t really felt any loss.

    However, and this is a big caveat: Reddit remains a huge source of institutional knowledge. Half a dozen times weekly I’ll look something up and the most relevant answer/discussion will be from Reddit. As I understand it, lemmy will never fulfill this need, because it’s not scraped the same way Reddit is? Or perhaps I’ve misunderstood something about the way federation works. If that’s true, it’s a huge blow to the long-term use of lemmy v. Reddit.
