  • Kleenex, tissue. Band aid, bandage. Xerox, copy. IPad, tablet (some people call their android tablets iPads) Plucker, flosser.

    It's not really that bad. Some are even shorter:

    Google, search. Invisalign, retainer.

    Some are iffy:

    Sharpie, permanent marker. (You could just say marker, depending on if you have any other markers in the house to disambiguate from.)

    And some are definitely shorter as brand names:

    Q-tip, cotton swab Velcro, hook and loop Sawzall, reciprocating saw

    (And if there was a shorter name for "oscillating multi tool" I would be so happy.)

    I can't think of any others.

  • Yeah I really don't think they would do that. At least right now, in the middle of the year 2025, valve still seems to be making very consumer-friendly choices.

  • I'm 99.99% human, .01% secrets.

  • Are you sure you weren't kissed by a biting bug? Bug mouths are usually very small!

  • So what can you do with this, run custom-burned DVDs? I'm used to modern consoles with menus and USB ports that can run games of off drives. I don't even remember if the ps2 has a USB port.

  • It's all terminology and labels.

    Do you belong to a theology? No? Then you're an atheist. But that label has a stigma, so some opt for a different label.

    Are you gnostic? No? Then you're agnostic. No one talks about gnosticism out of religeon or philosophy, so they know what you mean. But the subjects of gnosticism and theism are two different things.

    But it also feels oversimplified when I put it that way, since these things a less black and white and fall more on a spectrum.

    That said, do you play golf? No? Then you may also be an a-golfer, an a-tee-ist.

    Which label you chose may be based on how much the stigma bothers you or how much of a troll you are.

  • Shutout to Thunder, another great client.

  • Ahh, the old Lemmy switcheroo.

  • Thank you for introducing me to Propaghandi, this band ROCKS.

  • Periodical. Local storage only, f-droid.

  • I thought this was from "don't look up," but they respected him too much for that.

  • It's still good. It's great even. The best part is you can't "leak" an RSS address so when you subscribe to something you won't be added to spam without you knowing. It's a great medium.

  • Cool stuff!

  • "Eww, slop"

    "But also, it's a stupid joke. Low effort joke made with low effort means..."

    "...eww, low effort slop."

  • Yeah I have a kobo. You can bypass creating an account and just use calibre. No need to install something that isn't stock.

  • How can I fix the multi monitor thing?? Whenever I connect my TV screen everything freezes unless I unplug one of my desktop monitors.

  • Whoa, TIL about this.
