This is called a “folk etymology”. Great story, but completely false.

Gamesir seems to be vying for that crown of late - their price to feature ratio is impressive.

Edit: Yes, they’ll face the same tariff pressures - I’m just noting that 8BitDo isn’t the clear market leader the way they were 3-5 years ago.

I love these updates so much! Thanks for all of the time and effort!

The Lemmy devs are outspoken tankies, so I’d understand why people would be reluctant to work directly with them.

That’s fair. More 9070 XTs for me!

I agree with Steve from Gamer’s Nexus - I think if AMD released the 9070 for $500 instead of matching the 5070 at $550, AMD’s market share would probably double. As it is, we’ll just have to see what the market thinks about $550.

Wrong sub

This is asklemmy, not unpopular opinion.

Until you have kids, of course, when the parents must decide which name/combination of their names to give the child, and that combination is limited to only one hyphenation by law.

She gave him a dolla!

People like you are the reason I’m running Linux Mint on all of my PCs now, and I couldn’t be happier. Keep fighting the good fight!

Agreed. The Russian government sucks but their anthem is S tier.

Every time I try to remember how it goes, I can’t hear it over my tinnitus.

Can’t wait to hear the tankie apologetics for this one.

Why would you want slightly warm cake batter in the first place?

I’m a big fan of hydrogen for stuff like cars. Install more than enough solar or hydro or whatever, then use the surplus energy to create hydrogen cells that can be stored long-term, so that the hydrogen itself is also created with clean, renewable energy, usable on demand.

never use my main for anything

Are you sure it’s your main?

Cue me rambling about how in English “chai” doesn’t mean “tea” any more than “oolong” or “Earl Grey” does.

“Chai” doesn’t mean “tea” in English though - it signifies a specific type of mixed-spice tea. “Chai tea” is no more redundant in English than “Earl Grey tea” is.

One a word has been borrowed into another language, the meaning/etymology of the word in the source language is irrelevant. For example, I bet when you say “sushi” you mean “fish on/wrapped in rice” and not the vinegared rice itself, because that’s what it means in English. Similarly, when a Japanese speaker says “mansion”, they mean a high-rise apartment or condominium, not a large house, because that’s what the word means in Japanese.
