Yeah. If I try going faster, it turns into "ht'ptayto". Like a hard stop with tongue against the roof of the mouth before the teeth.
Although admittedly, this is self-reporting.

Okay, this got me to laugh.
And in my case, it'd be more like /gna/. And yes I do pronounce the "t" in hot potato.
I feel like it's a little disingenuous to call it "Doom Tech" when it's modern GZDoom with proper full 3D and shit.
But it is true that it's way more systemic than anything AAA in the genre.
I mean, I clearly remember firefox being terrible back when Chrome was just beginning to take off.
It was a lumbering monolith that ate all your ram and loaded pages at a glacial pace. Chrome was a multi-process revolution from that.
Then, firefox got it's shit together and chrome got overloaded with corpo bullshit.
Yeah, I find firefox tends to leak memory when you have youtube tabs open. Still using only firefox unless testing for compatibility but it is a thing.
My anecdoral experience, although I was probably exagerrating a bit.
Still, if I take a break from twitter/bsky/cohost/spoutible/whatever for a month, I don't come back to "we decided this account is banned now and you can't get it back, have fun". Lost three mastodon accounts like that before I just gave up.
Because there isn't a good replacement. Mastodon is a mess with no reach and servers that will perma-ban you if you don't post for a week, bsky is still kinda tiny, spoutible feels like "all politics all the time", cohost is jank.
Nobody really left Twitter because Twitter is where everyone else is.
Three entirely different use-cases there. Commuting, logistics and... Well, the port thing is also logistics but it kinda shouldn't intersect with a city downtown?
Not to mention that nowhere are cars completely restricted, you can have professional trucks and such.
Now, does everyone need to own their own car to move pianos, or should it just be a piano-moving service you hire the one time a year you need a piano moved?
It's a bit wishy-washy. Food and housing bills are cheaper (a flat you own is like...$50-100 a month in a city that's not moscow), but anything imported can get really fucking expensive - either you get cheap crap from china, or if you have to get something name-brand it is usually more expensive than it is in europe. Like how Valve Index ($1k MSRP) was like $2-3k in the shops.
So a person outside of moscow can be living on $100 to $250 but not be able to afford any luxuries that could be more afforable outside of russia.
It's about double the average salary in Russia.
My tongue definitely touches the teeth/roof of mouth there. I do swallow the vowels though.
