Yes. Here are some common ones in my native language, danish:

• pga: på grund af (because of)
• dvs: det vil sige (used for adding additional explaination)
• ift: i forhold til (in relation to)

I’m certain there are also some more modern slang abbreviations in use, but these change relatively frequently, like they do in English.

Is Apple not going to allow sideloading in the EU soon?

It used to be that they paired a known word with an unknown word, and if you got the known word right you would pass no matter what you wrote for the unknown one.

I wonder if Elon chose a timeframe of 5 years because Yann LeCun won the Turing Award in 2018.

While pi is irrational, there is no guarantee every conceivable sequence of digits will be in pi. However the library of babel contains all letter sequences under a certain length.

Honestly inflation seems preferable to deflation to me, as long as it isn’t a very fast inflation.

It’s a lyric from a Queen song, so it’s likely the first thing that comes to mind when seeing Freddie Mercury riding Darth Vader.

MAUs are counted by commenters and posters. The stats could just as well show that there are fewer people engaging for the sake of engagement, which was a huge problem last summer.

Even when I saw the leaks I didn't want to believe this to be true. I was convinced Hamilton would be with Mercedes until he couldn't compete anymore.

Hopefully Sainz finds a seat on another team.

The post is satire, but I remember being ~8-9 and trying to create a "game" in Microsoft Word with hyperlinks between documents and nothing else. I had hundreds of documents (each representing a game state) before I got tired of that project.

Fair. No reason making fun of this other people like.

But it does appear that way. And they probably didn’t get any “real” confirmation that the video is real.

The creator of this video also did in-depth reviews of music notation software. After reviewing the free and open source MuseScore he took over the design lead of the project, and it has become considerably better.

When have the titles of entertainment ever been about anything but drawing in an audience? Do you also get mad at the title of movie “Who Framed Rodger Rabbit?”, or do movies have a pass? What about “Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?” These are all entertainment that use a question for the title, even if the answers are not the reason to watch this.

That’s one way to look at it. Another way is to see it as entertainment trying to get you to watch, not a lecture trying to be concise.

Also, the question in the title has an answer which I think is far more interesting than the one given in the comment a few levels above this, and that is the answer the video gives. Sometimes the story told on the way to giving an answer can be more interesting than the actual answer, and this video, as a bonus, goes through the basics of DNS in a way that is digestible for a casual viewer. In my opinion, these are all more interesting than a guy writing “it’s .de”, and are all valid reasons for the video to be titles as it is.

If you had watched the video instead you would know that this isn’t really the point of it.

Another tip is asking literally any human.

Edit: the instrument board should also issue a warning.

I for one like an open and public forum that allows for opinions I don't agree with. A diversity of opinion definitely seems like a big plus to me.

AFAIK Lemmy counts active users as users who “engage”, meaning they post, comment or vote. Falling DAU/MAUs could be due to users not feeling obligated to engage, and instead engaging when they feel like it.

This man is willing to pay for a search engine, but not willing to pay for entertainment lmao
