OMG THATS WHAT I WAS REMEMBERING TY

i think my blood sugar was low or sumthin lmao

don’t even need an hour. “herb” has multiple regional pronunciations and so can receive both treatments depending on the context.

also my original comment was just wrong i don’t even know how i got to the point of writing that. “an hour” is the standard treatment of words starting with vowel sounds—the letters themselves don’t matter.

but “h” is treated as a consonant. which it is. duh. i feel so dumb lol.

“a apple” has more flavor to it than “an apple” and i acknowledge how cursed that makes me

no shame in that. it’s rough. fun fact: even the US founding fathers got it wrong

he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither (Thomas Jefferson’s original rough draft of the Declaration of Independence)

later prints corrected this error which happens three times from Jefferson’s hand.

Don’t forget that ‘h’ is an exception and counts as a vowel: “a hat”

edit literally i am wrong about this why did i write that

perhaps because russia initiated a ukranian invasion on february 24 2022.

ha, you finally got banned for your annoying AI content. that’s what you get for being mean about it, be nicer next time and we won’t care so much that you care so little about being a genuine participant in the space we try to keep nice and friendly.

once i pointed out that most modern mobile OSes have a native “smart invert” which can make any app dark mode without messing with images and i got called ableist 😭

+1 for wanting rudimentary editing tools in client apps. i don’t need filters or anything fancy but cropping and scaling as features would probably help with platform adoption.

a good selection of these apps don’t. unsure if that’s an intentional choice or not.

valid i think there are some scientifically proven drawbacks both ways also dark mode is worse if u have astigmatism

i genuinely have no desire to stir beef but i have never heard a single positive thing from or about the guy 😭 i hope i can be shown wrong

I couldn’t find anything :( oddly, fediverse.observer actually was logging data before that time but it’s only accessible to me via wayback: https://web.archive.org/web/20241010192709/https://pixelfed.fediverse.observer/dailystats

@diasporg@mas.to any reason fediverse.observer is limited to only a few months? (no clue if this cross-platform ping will work but giving it a shot)

I feel insane that no one has commented this yet??? The data clearly only starts in November. At minimum this is our second plateau and I seem to recall more that have happened lmao.

Sounds like there should be a page for sportsbots then. Mirroring “hundreds to low thousands” of accounts to Lemmy just sounds insane and poorly curated.

No. Account mirroring and bot posts go against the essential nature of social threaded link aggregation. I see sportsbots is already a Mastodon project which makes much more sense because microblogging has a follow-the-user rather than a follow-the-community model. Lemmy is follow-the-community. If there is interest in this content, users will create a Lemmy community and post content there. Maybe they will even link to the sportsbots mirror. But don’t just set up a script to do it for you, that’s just something people are going to block.

You should be able to visit the post via a web browser that’s not signed in and get a direct URL. Also just don’t link to IG when possible (I know you probably have your reasons but throwing that out there).

lmaoooo thats so petty what

it might be useless gossip but for some reason a lot of fedi has various problems with this guy. for various reasons… he just has like … off vibes?

i guess similar to how lemmy devs are marxist lenninists—at least making it open source means projects can be forked if the founders go off the deep end.
