Torrenting has been around for just about forever, and was massively more popular/mainstream one to two decades ago than it is now. Trackers get taken down, but bittorrent endures.

Assuming “orderly” was supposed to be “already,” what caused that mistake? Just curious. Speech to text? Because it seems like more of a verbal mistake than an autocorrect one, but imagining someone doing speech-to-text for lemmy comments seems unlikely. Unless maybe it’s for accessibility reasons?

And in doing so it would lock everyone using that service into a single UI. Structured data is better. You have an irrational fear of an extremely basic web technology.

This is not a book in any modern bible, and it’s not something that most Christians have generally read, so probably not. A literal thousand years ago, maybe, but today you would probably only have read it if you’re in academia or have a specific interest in it.

This is actually very great

I think there might also be a subcultural difference, too, because there are different types of “tryna” that are used by different groups of people, and maybe being used to a more versatile “tryna” would make “tryna not x” more natural to speak.

Tryna A: “I’m just tryna screw in this lightbulb,” “I’m not tryna hurt you”

Tryna B (expanded tryna, not spoken by everyone, mostly skews younger and bro-ier I think): “You tryna go to Taco Bell right now?” “You tryna chill tomorrow?”

That’s interesting. I feel differently. “Trying not to kill myself” sounds a lot more natural than the split “trying to not kill myself.” “Trying to not kill myself” sounds like internet slang that makes the statement sound awkward on purpose so it’s taken less seriously. But the former format is way more natural to speak.

That’s a very interesting idea. It might also incentivize creators because it gives them a more stable audience that’s at least a little insured against viewership changes on any single platform due to changes in that platform outside of their control.

And you’re ignoring history and the way the parties have always worked when they have the incumbent

[–] keegomatic 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nope, that DID happen. But you are ignoring the obvious reality in this case.

lol, you believe this?

Do I believe that about four months ago the Democratic Party made a desperate move to replace the incumbent candidate and there were very few viable options at the time? Yes, I believe that, because we just went through it about four months ago. It’s pretty much political suicide to withdraw an incumbent candidate. You don’t plan that from the beginning, because that would be a stupid plan. It was very likely “planned” as in “plan B,” but it’s kind of idiotic to think that it was plan A. The primary was not hijacked, the incumbent is always the candidate. Primaries are always a formality for the incumbent party.
