  • Hummm

    If you were speaking of I.C.E. to me I'd punch you in the face.

    Why? This is kinda the opposite you said just above

    I don't see anybody getting thrown out of the house for daring to spell out an acronym that is usually pronounced as a word.

    :/

  • Not disproving, just making context on how confusing it can be if there isn't proper rules to follow :/

  • Not only without context... From the perspective of people not aware of.

    Someone who knows about what ice is (solid water) this is very confusing if they don't know about the I.C.E?

  • Yeah but modem is different. It's a contraction of 2 words (modulation/demodulation) that's not the same as an acronym.

  • Okay I get that ! But in the case of the ICE both are actually acceptable.

    I.C.E sounds good so those ICE. I guess in this context as some else said, it's because they are "ice cold" (in this context).

    Would it be acceptable in a conversation to talk about the I.C.E ?

  • On the W.W.W or Www?

  • Yeaah ice (water in solid state) does indeed is a word ! But the I.C.E isn't !

    I do get that we are very lazy, and it does sound better... but without context it seems like people are protesting against ice (solid water) which seems silly.

  • Maybe this is some sarcasme... But why then follow rules if we can just say things how we prefer? GIF or JIF?

  • Funny enough... I do say S.Q.L or U.R.L 😅

  • ICE=Immigration and Customs Enforcement

    FBI=Federal Bureau of Investigation

    USB=Universal Serial Bus

    None of those are words :/ but an acronym.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word?

  • Thank you for your answer ! Wasn't aware of this !

    However, this isn't an issue if all your DNS goes through a pihole with DoH/DoT ?

  • keep in mind, netGuard (or rethink) is less efficient when you use private dns

    Care to explain? What do you mean by "less efficient"?

  • Gnome: It's like MacOS

  • Can you remember the first time you used any MS office software ? Yeah that's right, like a toddler trying to stand up and walk for the first time...

    We are so used to MS that we can't switch to anything else, because evey other software doesn't do it the "same way as MS".

    It's not a question if LibreOffice works the same as MS Office, but how much time you're willing to invest to learn a new tool that isn't Microsoft.

    If your 30 years MS experience isn't able to switch paradigm with that change, that's okay... Just stay with Microsoft and let the newer generation take the lead :)

  • Do you have any clue why they use ipv6 over ipv4?

    IPv6-first with IPv4 fallback

  • I hope by listening to radio, you mean not any mainstream news radio bullshit? Else that would be counter productive and just use your phone to put some music without ads and fearmongering!!

  • What do youngstar use nowadays if it isn't PDF? EPUB?

    I always wondered, why someone would prefere to read an EPUP instead of a PDF ! Specially Student books, cook books or any other book with images or representations.

    Yeah EPUB's are good for long text stories without any image, but everything else should be in pdf.

  • It looks tasty ! How did you get the crust so brown/golden ? Do you have some special bread oven?
