Lol, what I was referring to was not how to pronounce the SQL part. MySQL is named after the developer’s daughter whose name is My and it’s not pronounced the same way you guys pronounce ‘my’.

You pronounce it the way you do not because of freedom but because you’re an ignorant stupid head!

STFU gheytard!

Btw. The developer’s other daughter is called Maria. Some of you might have heard of MariaDB.

Bah, I just stumbled across another one when I was looking up something else:
CLOS stands for Common Lisp Object System and is pronounced “see loss” or “kloss”. (Opinions differ as to which is right.)
“See ell oh ess” it is then.

kloth obviously.

why can’t it be pronounced My-Squeel ?
If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilized morality to savage morality, or Christian morality to Nazi morality. In fact, of course, we all do believe that some moralities are better than others . . . . The moment you say that one set of moral ideas can be better than another, you are, in fact, measuring them both by a standard . . . admitting that there is such a thing as a real Right, independent of what people think, and that some people's ideas get nearer to that real Right than others."

Because we don’t know whether My squeals or not.

I didn’t know it but Cambodia finally got YouTube premium a couple of months ago (it was only offered to me just today). I had their algo trained pretty well to not show excessive ads but it was a pain sometimes. If they ever showed me an ad that couldn’t be skipped after 5 seconds, I’d shut down YouTube instantly with Ctrl-W and wouldn’t open it again for 24 hours. I don’ t know if I was kidding myself but it seemed to be pretty effective; initially YT was really insistent about shoving them down my throat but it rarely happens now (maybe once a month) that I get an unskippable ad and have to do something else that night for entertainment.
Anyway, I’ve got premium now so that’s a game I no longer have to play.

I don’t know if this is Microsoft being their normal tone deaf selves or it’s just me but this rubs me up the wrong way:
Time to get to work? I have several bosses and you aren’t one of them. In fact, you’re supposed to work for me biatch.
-
The fact that the machine has you back-talking it . . . and you treating it like a surly boss suggests that the machine may be winning the battle. ;-)

Got my bluesky invite today after being on the waiting list for months. I guess the date is no accident and there was some planned expansion of access starting on New years day. They had just under three million users at NYE and I wonder how many they added today.
Anyway, if you have Bluesky and are interested in tech news, I found this feed to be really good:
