Someone once told me that JWT is pronounced "jot", so I do. People call me a lunatic for it, but I still do.
It's missing an O sound, that's why you're a psycho
Please don't kill anyone whose net worth is <= 100m
Maybe he's Welsh.
For me it will always be the James Web(b) Token.
I'm always discombobulated by JWT because I keep thinking it's some kind of Java web technology.

How is it pronounced
Jot. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519#section-1
The suggested pronunciation of JWT is the same as the English word "jot".

The joke is that 'isekai' in Japanese translates to "another world" in English. 1985 was truly another world, as anyone who was there might attest.
You sure it wasn't IBM time travellers from 1985 sent her to ebcdic you?
Lemmy is the only place I've seen EBCDIC referenced, other than the college class that introduced me to it.
Lemmy is for sure the only place where I've seen a JOKE about it. Nerd.
I like you.
NERRRRRRRRRRRRD!!!
Okay, Homer.
lulz
I worked for a credit bureau for a while and a product we had used a mainframe for billing customers. So the billing file was in EBCDIC.
Financial and health institutions are famously behind the times.
Quick, I need an American. How do you guys pronounce 'isekai'? Going off the correct Japanese pronunciation this post does not make any sense. These things aren't even close in the way I say them.
Ee-sik-kai and ass key. I bet I'm double wrong but less wrong than OOP. There not close.
