Sometimes, but in more official writing (like a bio or even Wikipedia) we'll use née. Just another word the English language stole from other languages 😂

It's used for indicating someone's maiden name usually, just tongue-in-cheek I wager by whoever wrote the title.

As someone who plays in an orchestra professionally, I totally 1000% agree with you. It's a weird fine line that I enjoy music, but I do it as a career because I really enjoy playing with other people and the music itself is almost secondary. Good luck explaining that to people who Really Like Classical Music, lol.

There's a lot of elitism in it and it sadly alienates a lot of would-be concert goers, I feel like.

Not sure of all the details, but the guy the production hired to give them information on customs/culture to use in the show turned out to be a total sham, for one.

I honestly think the 60s special effects are one of my favorite aspects about TOS. They're silly and corny and the suspension of disbelief is nonexistent but it wouldn't be the same without them. That, and also the dramatic lighting in the closeups and the extravagant eye makeup on literally everyone lol.

For those who don't want to read about how aMaZiNg this car is or just don't wanna scroll, it starts at $130,000.

Am I nuts or is it missing a letter? україні

I think some of the other commenters pointing out that it reads as a command is probably a big one, but you did a pretty good job of explaining it here (imo). Even just saying to him that you want a heads up of if it's good or bad and working out a system so you don't stress would probably be a marked improvement for you, and I would bet it'd be an easy fix.

Usually it's pretty ok but I remember once being in an online PvP match and windows decided right then it NEEDED to update and started the process. It just went into update mode and restarted (oh so slowly) - my guess is there was a popup that I didn't see due to being in-game and it just went ahead and overrode whatever I was doing to update.

I think this was honestly my favorite bit of the episode. I thought their honor was challenged just because singing overall, and expected some drinking songs or klingon opera. I was so totally taken off guard by it, it absolutely made the entire episode imo. I barely even remember what it sounded like after the first second because I was laughing so hard.

My best guess is very open as in very truthful or honest? I've heard it sometimes described as someone being transparent but that's definitely not the first thing I'd think of with either word.

I like this a lot. It makes me wonder about some of these though, how "very scared" doesn't necessarily mean "petrified" or how something could be "very noisy" without being outright deafening. Super useful as a way to break the habit of saying "very" all the time, though. This is all more just me marveling at the minute nuances in English though.

 

Super low-priority change request but sometimes the notifications and status bar blur (like in the attached photo) with the titles and photos and obscures both at the same time. Would love to have an opaque bar to keep the notification bar separate.

 

I have no photo editing skills (and no computer at the moment anyway) but this superman sploot deserves a cape I think. 😂

 
 

I don't know why the picture got rotated during upload but it won't let me fix it 😬

Bad Gateway errors (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I'm getting overrun with these even when the site is working fine. Sometimes will even have a post load, but as I'm reading it it'll disappear and I'll get a bunch of bad gateway popups at the bottom.

At the moment it seems to have cooled off after some minutes ago when it was happening constantly, but since it seemed (to my very untrained eye) to be unrelated to server maintenance I wanted to bring this up.

Edited to add - I had to uninstall and reinstall Connect, but now that has largely fixed the errors. I continually got error messages saying Lemmy.world was down for maintenance when it wasn't, but since reinstalling it it's been fine.

If the linked destination isn't working, try:[email protected]

 

Could also be added as an opt-in since I'm sure that could get annoying to accidentally click community names instead of the post title.

I would love to be able to just hit the bolded community name and navigate to it, rather than options>/c/community or click post, click header to get to the community homepage itself.

Welcome! (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone!

With reddit becoming inaccessible or just unsavory for a lot of users, many of us are coming to the Fediverse looking for the same niche communities and conversations that we had there. While this is in no way affiliated with any rabbit-related subreddits, I learned a lot and loved to share and see everyone's little and large lagomorphs.

I made this community in the hope that it can become a place for everyone to share photos, seek support, and ask questions or find information on rabbits of all shapes and sizes.

Please be respectful and kind, but most importantly have fun.
