Later, the name hashtags, in American English this symbol #️⃣ was ~~always~~ best known as the pound key. It was also known as an Octothorpe.
The first time I learned of its American naming was the classic "pound quake 3 arena" audio clip from the #quake3arena IRC channel.
"Uhhhhhh pound quake 3 arena"
".... What the hell was that?"
... And my axe!
Edit: I said the funny line, updoots to the just please
I'm actually surprised the robot mowers dont just bump off them to be honest, my Husqvarna 450X is barely an inch off the ground and just bumps in to anything higher than that then spins around and goes in another direction
I prefer to argue on the internet via my phone, which I can type pretty fast on thanks to the swipe to type
I'm the opposite... I rarely reply when I'm on my phone because swiping and tapping away at the touchscreen keyboard is so slow and inaccurate. I spend more time correcting swypos than I do writing I think.
Meanwhile on the desktop I can punch out a shining example of wit (or at least a spoonerism of that) at 100+ wpm at 100% accuracy.
Sent from my phone, slowly.
Pretty much never. Direct family only really.
Talking is for IRL, or actually urgent things. Everything else is a message or email.
Don't ring me to discuss an email.
voice call
Yeah, nah
It's a black rectangle!
*gasps of admiration*
After reading the site, I'm still not entirely sure how to use it.
Is there a decent demo site somewhere? The examples they show are very simplistic
Whenever I see Lemmy without being logged in, it's a wall of German and all I can think of is "ach, du lieber... das ist not eine booby!"
"A voice note is just like talking on the phone but better," says Susie Jones, a 19-year-old student. "You get the benefits of hearing your friend's voice but comes with no pressures so it's a more polite way of communicating".
Gross, voice notes are the worst of both worlds.
Text for things that are information critical, voice for things that are time critical.
Email for business (and keep the original chain going instead of starting a new one every time you think of something else to add!), text messages for associates, chat apps for friends and family.
Anyone who disagrees is wrong.
I would also like to die on this hill.
Lemmings is dumb. Lamingtons is rad.
