Finally, the End of all things.

AWOL, OSHA, AIDS, ICE

But why? We don’t pronounce any other acronyms like that, so why treat GIF different? The U in SCUBA isn’t pronounced like it is in Underwater. The first A in CAPTCHA isn’t pronounced the same as in Automated and the CH isn’t split up to be pronounced like Computer and Human. The second A in NASA isn’t pronounced like in Administration and the I in PIN doesn’t get pronounced like Identification.

We read acronyms as their own words, not as a collection of the first sounds of each constituent word.

There are so many other acronyms where you don’t pronounce every letter the same as their constituent words, I don’t understand why GIF is the one people have a problem with accepting. SCUBA, NASA, CAPTCHA, OWCA, etc.

Right on schedule ⏳

Things must play out exactly as they currently are to ensure Australia acquires its future time powers. Changing the past would likely make it so that Australia doesn’t eventually come to control the time power in the future but some other country does instead, and thus the past could never have been changed by Australia to prevent bad things from happening, which would again put Australia in control of the time power since the past was never altered. The only possible future is one in which Australia doesn’t fix the past, and all other possibilities self-correct back to this alpha-timeline.

I got it again unfortunately, here’s a screenshot of what it looks like

Looks like it didn’t work unfortunately 😞 Thank you for the suggestion though!

What does this mean?

In comparison to things like Twitter and Reddit, Facebook has actually been the most difficult to completely abandon because of Messenger. All my friends use it, and an attempt at switching everyone to Signal didn’t manage to stick. I would delete my Facebook account right now if it were possible to separate the two services.

Windows 10

When it happens, it doesn’t let me do anything other than stay on the already loaded webpage without restarting.

Open a new tab > “Restart to continue…”
Click a link > “Restart to continue…”
Type a URL > “Restart to continue…”
and etc

Thanks! I had no idea this setting existed and it will make Firefox so much more practical for me to use.

Amazing, I’ll give that a shot

I just wish Firefox updates weren’t so intrusive. Having it hit me with “Firefox updated in the background, restart to continue using Firefox” while I’m trying to use QuickBooks for my job is so disruptive when QuickBooks doesn’t save automatically and never opens back up to where I left it off. I won’t go back to Chrome, but I never had it pull that sort of forced restart on me.

It shouldn’t be draining like that, at least…

That decreased bandwidth would still help to maintain a digital connection though, wouldn’t it? There’d be a weaker and slower connection as the devices get further apart, so I was thinking less demand on the connection would keep them from dropping it.

I don’t think it’s the same as what you meant exactly, but I looked it up and Bluetooth does hopping between 2.402 and 2.480 GHz.

I wonder if this has anything to do with how the bandwidth is automatically decreased when taking a call vs when you’re just playing audio. Less bandwidth means a slower but more robust connection or something like that?
