For those who want to know, that makes Xitter sound like halfway between Sitter and Shitter.

As an English speaker you can try to make that sound by saying the Y in YEET and paying close attention to how exactly your tongue is positioned and where in your mouth the air is being constricted. Then try to position your tongue as if you want to say “yeet” or “yes” again, but make an S sound at exactly the same constriction point where you made the Y sound before. If you’re successful, it should sound like a hybrid between S and SH to your English ears.

That’s how I make it anyway, actual Mandarin speakers might find issue with my explanation.

Yes, but there’s context about why I asked

In this regard, I’m probably part of the old folks. I’m older than the WWW at least. I just figured I’d try asking ChatGPT with context instead of Google because I didn’t want something I suspected to be Nazi terminology in my search history.

I was just surprised by how differently it reacted compared to when I tested it with alt history scenario requests a few months ago.

I quoted your comment to ChatGPT 3.5 and asked what you were referring to with “the 14 words”. I’ve never seen it take so long to answer, and when it finally did, it was like watching someone else write in a shared Google doc, including watching words getting replaced. Maybe my question triggered a reply by an actual human?

I would be surprised if she came into this position without being either a psychopath or a sociopath. As such, all that truth distorting wouldn’t damage her mental health. At worst she might feel overworked.

I guess you meant “pulpit”?

1. Thanks for posting a non-paywall version.
2. Wtf, Twitter’s standard automated reply to press queries is a poo emoji now?

I claim this is at least partially because people look for good news:

Generally, if the news is already good, we’re often satisfied with reading the title. If the news is bad, we go into the article to look for a silver lining.

Did you not hear that Steve Huffman let slip during an interview that the API cost them about 10 million? And that he demanded 20million from the Apollo app alone? He wanted 3rd party apps gone.

“Nothing” is a bit of an exaggeration. I’d say admiring Hitler is an even louder shout about being an idiot.

The main dev of lemmy is one of them, that’s how.

Speaking of Jerboa, I installed it, but it opens to tankie lemmy and I can’t figure out how to change it to beehaw.

Ah, makes sense.

How about you make a lemmy community or a kbin magazine and officially migrate your subreddit there? (including making a stickied announcement in the subreddit)

Since you’re its only mod, that should be possible and even easier to do than migrating a bigger subreddit like /r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk
