- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 3 days ago:
Not disproving, just making context on how confusing it can be if there isn’t proper rules to follow :/
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 3 days ago:
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?
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 3 days ago:
Yeah but modem is different. It’s a contraction of 2 words (modulation/demodulation) that’s not the same as an acronym.
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 3 days ago:
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?
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 3 days ago:
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.
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 3 days ago:
Maybe this is some sarcasme… But why then follow rules if we can just say things how we prefer? GIF or JIF?
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 3 days ago:
Funny enough… I do say S.Q.L or U.R.L 😅
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 3 days ago:
ICE=Immigration and Customs Enforcement
FBI=Federal Bureau of Investigation
USB=Universal Serial Bus
None of those are words :/ but a contraction of 3 words.

That’s a long terme goal sadly :/ Either they’re slowly doing this to avoid a mass movement to another browser (but which one :() or that’s some inside job to slowly kill and let Firefox die ^^

And let’s be fair to them, who’s even heard of lithium batteries catching fire?
Euhhhh… You sure about that? Maybe you’re beeing sarcastic? But buses lithium batteries catching fire is not something unheard off ! Even a few Teslas burned to the ground went viral in the news !
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 5 months ago:
I know the atmospheric design is doom like (aliens, weapons, paltforms…etc.) but gameplay mechanics were totally inovative and original (wall walking, portals, spirit walk) and chracter focus was also cool (native american).
I’m not saying Prey 2016 is a Bad game, I just found it sad that they totally changed the franchise spirit 😄
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 5 months ago:
Probably unpopular opinion but Prey is clearly on that list ! Not because the new game was bad, but they just took everything that was interesting and original in the first game, throw it away and just made it another doom-like game :/…
The original Prey wasn’t a GOTY or whatever, it just felt different and something new and original… Something I liked and they just made a total reboot with nothing in common on what made prey original/interesting !
- Comment on twitter 5 months ago:
You forgot the repeatedly, overused and brain wrecking sound FX ! Horrible… How can an human support those uncanny sound effects again and again… And again !!!
Yes those are not new and were already present in movies YEARS ago ! But the same sound effect every second on every tiktok? Ugh… Horrible.

Another solution would be to add a second audio stream (2.1) and let the viewer choose how to watch their movie.
- Comment on Off topic 6 months ago:
I’m not sure why you get so much down voted while you are right. It’s similar how people want to play a 4k movie on a 1080p screen…
Personally, I have experienced that when you’re downmixing a 5.1 to 2.0 solves all the issues OP is talking about.
I’m only an amateur but did some video/audio encoding and it’s a bit more complex than what I’m saying here, but it does indead solves the issue.

Haha… What a dumbshit move and this actually told me that “AI” isn’t that good actually… Becauae the dubbed version was so horrible that the video became unwatchable xD.
Nice AI slope YouTube !!
- Comment on Google will develop the Android OS fully in private, and here's why 10 months ago:
True ! But there is a resurgence of ROMs. Squeezing any precent as low as possible is their goal, killing open-source/alternatives as much as they can !
I really hope hardware/software alternatives in the phone market get some funds to get away from the big tech monopoly.

- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says 11 months ago:
Sadly there is… Recently I found an old post where someone was sharing a script to integrate Thunar’s bulk rename into Nemo as an action…
There’s still valuable info out there and that’s kinda depressing to still search the web and always fallback to a reddit post :/.
- Comment on Exposing the Honey Influencer Scam - YT Video 1 year ago:
Thanks for the share and the new channel added to my favs!
The woman’s voice on the podcast was very AI’ish… I mean, the way she spoke, the wording… I know this is mostly marketing shit speaking, but that was the first think that poped up into my mind when I heard her speaking.
- Comment on Researchers uncover critical vulnerability in Microsoft's Multi-Factor Authentication, allowing attackers to gain access to user accounts such as Outlook emails, OneDrive files, Teams chat, and more 1 year ago:
Wait until an internal leak reveals how this was a self-backdoored/malware vulnerability.
I will probably get down voted for this comment (because conspiracy?) but in a few years we will see a lot a pikachu faced memes about it. Can’t wait to laugh my ass off.
