Same here, it seems to be the most common in tech circles online. I’ve never once said it and have someone understand. Not the meaning, nor the words.

paraplu@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think of imitation and lab-grown meats?English1·8 days agoRegarding milk as a name: plant milks are not new. Whitish liquids just get called milk. Even the real weird ones like pigeon milk.

It’s an iPhone, I’m not sure how much of a thing those are. I know for the handful of specific apps that I’ve bothered to check for my significant other, I’ve always come up empty handed.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Are there any fun games for 2 children (around 13y) to play on one computer?English1·17 days agoPlaying Worms at a friend’s house around that age is one of the fondest memories I have of any game.
paraplu@piefed.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself?English1·18 days agoI was specifically addressing your line about Latin.
I’m not really clear on what the aim of your broader point really is actually driving at. If someone struggles with language acquisition or production, yes they may struggle with the complete name of their specific diagnosis.
If communicating the specific name to the outside world is important, having it written down somewhere may help. We use tools to help move our bodies. Why wouldn’t we use tools to help extend our brains.
If it’s truly important to have the specific name, the other party may need to look it up anyway, which is easier with a spelling.

If you’re actually in a position where it’s useful to distinguish one type of dementia from another, having a meaning that’s linked to what the symptoms are may help you remember both name and symptoms.
If you’re not a medical professional, remembering either name or symptoms for specific types of dementia is unlikely to be useful.
I don’t use any of the emoji that could have a skin tone. I will occasionally use emoji, but don’t find that the faces or hands are useful.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your personal threshold for being grossed out by owning an object that was once part of a living being, and why?English2·28 days agoOh yeah, being turned into a book is unlikely to be worth the headache for anyone involved. The tree burials that are legal in some spots is a reasonable option. Or just donation to science.
Whatever is cheapest/lowest fuss is fine. If that means I get reused or recycled great! If not, just don’t let me be a bother.
Sky burial is also awesome. Hopefully there are enough vultures to keep that up in at least some places. There’s a 99% Invisible episode that talks about collapsing vulture populations resulting in issues with doing it in India.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your personal threshold for being grossed out by owning an object that was once part of a living being, and why?English3·28 days agoSame for human parts for me.
Weirdly enough, I still think my preferred way to dispose of my eventual cadaver is being made into a book.
I wouldn’t want to own book me, but I love the idea of being a book. Not like a gruesome one where someone could tell right off, something more boring than that.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a fun and harmless way to embarrass your girlfriend?English2·29 days agoThis is in line with other comments. Embarrassing yourself in public with her is potentially funny for both of you.
Trying to embarrass her more directly than that may be crossing a line.
paraplu@piefed.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What would be ancient ways to properly store vitamin C?English21·30 days agoI’m surprised by anchovies lacking it but you appear to be correct, even for raw anchovies. I tried looking at a handful of other raw fish and they also have no vitamin C.
I guess that makes sense, if fish could supply vitamin C I can’t imagine scurvy would’ve been a problem for long.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone here prefer instrumental music over *songs*?English3·1 month agoI’m not sure why the need to draw a firm distinction between the two. I’m quite focused on lyrics if they’re present and in a language I understand. I’m not fussed if they aren’t.
If you find the music in some way engaging, that’s enough. Denigrating other music as in some way lesser than your preferred genre is odd.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Cooking @lemmy.world•[QUESTION] Are there cookbooks that are like “workbooks”?English1·1 month agoAside from what’s mentioned here already, Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything is a great resource. I’m not sure how much Indian food is in it, but the recipes are simple and followed by a long list of simple substitutions to make different variants.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Cooking @lemmy.world•[QUESTION] Are there cookbooks that are like “workbooks”?English1·1 month agoI have a copy of Curry Easy and everything I’ve made from it has been good.
I don’t think I’ve seen anything that wouldn’t be suitable for beginners, but I’m also not entirely sure I would notice.
Lawnchair seems to do a good chunk of what Nova does. I haven’t taken the time to fully recreate my setup, but most things I’ve tried have worked so far.
With Nova I have a setup that more or less fits everything on my home page without looking too busy. Lawnchair is letting me change the number of rows and columns, shrink icon size, choose a monochrome theme as a default, make folders, etc.
