alternative medicine
Uhhhh… Did you know that most used medications are derived from plant secondary metabolites? Without “alternative medecin” our ancestors wouldn’t be alive, and you and I wouldn’t even be here talking about it.
Your argumentation falls apart, the moment you realize how powerful and unique mother nature is… You just have to close your eyes, shut down your brain and open your mind and heart.


or something like documentaries
Huh? You haven’t watched a lot of documentaries this last decade I guess. I wouldn’t watch any under 1080p and If I could 4k (for those filmed in 4k) If I had the TV and proper device…


That’s nice, but I wish there would be a way to somehow intercept traffic and send them some “warning” video in place of their recording…
Or something else that makes their recording useless or broken ^^


Orion still does background playback and also blocks ads ! I only tested it on an iPhone though :/


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.
Thank you for your answer ! Wasn’t aware of this !
However, this isn’t an issue if all your DNS goes through a pihole with DoH/DoT ?
keep in mind, netGuard (or rethink) is less efficient when you use private dns
Care to explain? What do you mean by “less efficient”?


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 !


Ding ding ding ding ding !
Samba is great, but it’s hell when you need multiplatform support… I have some weird fruit thing going one to support MacOS :/
I can’t remember why, but I gave sshfs a try but stayed why samba.
