Hummm

If you were speaking of I.C.E. to me I’d punch you in the face.

Why? This is kinda the opposite you said just above

I don’t see anybody getting thrown out of the house for daring to spell out an acronym that is usually pronounced as a word.

:/

Not disproving, just making context on how confusing it can be if there isn’t proper rules to follow :/

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?

Yeah but modem is different. It’s a contraction of 2 words (modulation/demodulation) that’s not the same as an acronym.

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?

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.

Maybe this is some sarcasme… But why then follow rules if we can just say things how we prefer? GIF or JIF?

Funny enough… I do say S.Q.L or U.R.L 😅

ICE=Immigration and Customs Enforcement

FBI=Federal Bureau of Investigation

USB=Universal Serial Bus

None of those are words :/ but an acronym.

Yeah !! SLSK, nicotine+ is the best way to get your music. Can’t believe it exists for so long an only heard about it here on lemmy 2 years ago.

However, YT-DLP has it own merit with youtube ! There are some great YouTuber’s out there doing some very good journalism, science and other stuff ! And archiving them with tubearchivist, tubesync or pinchflat is the best we can get anyway !

I would say they are all equally bad… But Facebook should take the crown: Cambridge Analytica

Thanks for the insight !

Britta filters can reduce water hardness to a little margin but I wouldn’t bet on those to reduce water hardness…

Better have specific filters under the sink to reduce those carbonates or if you have some money to spare (~1000$) a specific machine directly connected to your water income in the basement !

Hey, I was thinking of you the other day while watching/reading some kind of AI thing. If you’re doing this long enough and if your post get scrapped, you can probably do some AI poisoning hack :) ! Same goes for those who add some kind of copyright at the end of their post.

I think I will be begin doing something similar but have to find my own signature :).

Probably 90% of lemmy’s user base hate Meta… However, there’s still alot going on in the normies’ world !

To give you a concrete exemple, while it isn’t directly relates to EU laws, France enforced age verification for pornsite to protect the children !

So it seems to me they are slowly, bit by bit, enforcing those stupid laws not EU wise, but country by country ^^!

I think they are talking about age verification for something like porn ^^'!

For the chatcontrol thing, it’s only a matter of when and not if.

Everything related to art (photography, movie, music, graffiti or whatnot…) Has to be none AI for me to enjoy. I put it on the same hate level as ads (radio, tv, internet…).

However, I found out how good it can be to help me out to put together some scripts in python or bash. Not because it’s good at doing those things but because I do not have time to learn proper python or bash :/. Though I do agree it only works well for small things.

Maybe, those who love AI generated art feel the same way as I do with AI generated code? 🤷‍♂️

More connected to nature? It’s called mother nature for good reasons… However, I would like to see more male friends see how powerfull plants and nature can be !

Plants and foraging knowledge FTW !
