  • How someone is pronouncing W is actually a good way to guess where the speaker is from, or where the person that taurht them learned english.

    double you for british/american accents

    dubba you for some american accents

    Dablu or dabloo is a clear indication that the speaker is not a naitive western english speaker, usually indicating indian for the speaker.

    double v (often pronounced as double we) usually points towards somewhere near germany/holland/belgium

    I’ve never heard anyone say just dub, curious if anyone has?

    Edit: I lied. W pronounced ‘dub’ is only ever used to indicate a ‘win’. e.g. ‘Took the dub’




  • It’s the solution on the user experience side, but not the backend/server side. For both infrastructure and idealogical reasons. These two things don’t have to be the same.

    Disney parks wants park visitors to feel like their exploring, but design in such a way that thepy don’t actually stray that far from the preferred paths. Also they have clear sign posting.

    There’s no reason the fediverse can’t design the opposite. Helping users into feeling like there’s a set path, and that they’re doing the right thing, while subtly encouraging exploration.

    It’s just the opposite of where all talent and techniques of internet software design are right now, so it’s going to take some work.

    Edit: Most people don’t jump into a hedge to get off the main road, they find a small, unplanned trail or desire path, then learn to navigate the jungle when that path ends.










  • I think I need this, finally a real use for ‘ai’.

    The amount of how to videos you have to watch through, when all you want is one little piece of info you should be able to search or scan for has been a problem since before the internet figured out how to increase clicks by making a web page in to slides.

    Can you link me a how-to video on how to get startedt and send me a summary from your working setup?
