How old does a word have to be to satisfy you?
“Beaucoup” is like 800 years old. Shitty spelling isn’t a neologism.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does purchasing a game on GOG.com really grants ownership of the game and not a license to use it?
9·20 days agoThat’s complete bullshit:
Software I’ve written is owned by me.
Open-source licenses (F/LOSS) mostly cannot be revoked.
Public domain exists.

196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Sprecher rulet beer is like Barq’s without the biteEnglish
2·23 days agoDifferent but good.
It’s a little sweet for my taste.
FYI: it is not “ForgeJo”
Forgejo is derived from Esperanto where the “ejo” suffix means “place”. The J is pronounced like y is in English.
It’s “forge-ejo” not “forge-joe”

Crazy Fucking Videos@lemmy.world•[Video] British journalist Steve Sweeney bombed by Israel while reporting in LebanonEnglish
7·1 month agoAs the OP said: “just can’t help but” is a negation of what you quoted.
It’s like saying they “can’t not target [innocents]”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the arguments *against* ending Daylight Savings Time in the USA?
6·2 months agoThat’s not more sunlight though! The numbers changed without making any difference.
The only thing that changes when daylight-saving goes into effect is that we suddenly decide to get up at 6 am but call it 7 am for some reason.
If you want more sunlight get up earlier, don’t change the clocks!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the arguments *against* ending Daylight Savings Time in the USA?
6·2 months agoTo take your example:
almost nobody is up at 4-5 AM, and almost everybody wants to stay out from 7-9 PM in the summer.
Without daylight-saving time it’s exactly the same except the numbers: “nobody is up at 5-6 AM and everybody wants to stay out from 8-10 PM in the summer”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the arguments *against* ending Daylight Savings Time in the USA?
6·2 months agoThis has zero impact on our daily schedule except for the numbers we assign to it.
Daylight-saving time fucks with our daily schedule twice a year for no reason.

With car culture as it is now, that’ll just be seen as business as usual.

Yes, I have literally stolen the word “beaucoup” from you. ;-)
