I truly cannot stress enough how utterly socially unacceptable it is to correct someone’s pronunciation of their own name. In this respect, names are different from other kinds of words. Please reconsider this embarrassing position of yours.

Any recommendations for a Hyprland refugee? Thinking of trying out niri…
Hey-hey, planting is simple! It’s just planting things in the plant! You guys can plant, can’t ya? This is easy!

I, too, require great and accurate science communication in my funny JPEGs
I suspect it’s just an autocorrect typo for “beginning to work”.
Mmm, pseudorandom number generators!

You must be “having a laugh” as they say! I’m 1000% sure it’s “cup of”
Also, make sure to ask “Fancy a cup of?” with extra emphasis on “of”. It is a classic British phrase
Stored in memory is still stored.
Given what I know about how computers accept user input, I am fascinated to hear what the alternative is.
Glimpse, but it died in 2021.
