what is the correct way to use the word "backorder" in English?

  • English in a nutshell. Here is a rule. It always works except in this 300 million examples when not. I hate it.

    • Permanently Deleted

  • About 100k. That would mean a downpayment for a house here.

    • Do you ever come up with genius ("genius") ideas for joke domains to unsettle/embarrass people when you tell them your email?

    Jump

  • Similar. In stores or wherever in-person a hostess asks for my mail for ads or some dumb subscription, I just start to dictate "spam...yes, spam@[myname].com". Sometimes they believe me and I actually got the spam since I configured a catch-all.

    • How did Lemmy World become the default instance?

    Jump

  • That means nothing to the average Joe. Joe saw a comment mentioning Lemmy under a post on reddit. Got curious, went to join-lemmy.org.

    "What the fuck is an instance? - he thinks. I don't care, where are the posts? Okay, a lot of these things seem to be specific domains, maybe they are for specific countries or interests. I don't have any of that. The fuck is federation? I don't fucking care, show me the posts already. Okay, .world is the largest, the name implies it's for everybody. Cool, register. Next, next, fucking finally here are the posts."

    That's why.

  • I use something similar often. "I'm not racist but the color of the bread is white."

  • Eh, it's easily confused with chicken parme.

    • You should

  • NO

  • Fortunately Sync just redirects to a link on my home instance. I know I saw a GH issue on what you mentioned but I haven't checked it in a couple of months.

    Edit: found it. Still in discussion phase. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987

    • When old.reddit.com dies, how will Lemmy grab more users?

    Jump

  • Same. I want to see the full post/picture so I can decide that I'm even interested in the comments. I actually like infinite scrolling.

    My Lemmy app (Sync) is also configured for full height and width cards.

  • Platforms can now insert ads directly into the manifest file into totally random timestamps. The file chunks' names follow the same pattern as the original video. You cannot filter or prepare for it. Probably that will be the future. (AWS MediaConvert can do this for example.)

    And they only create the manifest file upon starting the stream so you can inject personalized ads too.

  • Interesting! Alcohol doesn't have a barcode there?

    Here it does. But the self checkout lamp will go to red instantly and a clerk has to come to approve your age.
