Who is the downvoter lol - if you don't want bears news unsubscribe. I would think anybody interested in the bears would enjoy seeing the grades, even if you don't think they mean much. We need more content on lemmy, not less!
I hadn't brought this up before but there seems to be people just downvoting every post I make in this community

Pan/pang- the g has a well established rule to change the pronunciation of the a? No it doesn't lol. Words are not comparable like that in english, this is another terrible argument.
Examples: lead and lead, read and read, tear and tear, bass and bass, wind and wind. Spelled the exact same way and different pronunciations. Trying to prove how gif is pronounced based on the word gift just proves you haven't thought about this for more than 10 seconds.
There is no grammatical argument for hard g. There is also no grammatical argument for soft g. Once again, g followed by i or e can be either in English. The only thing that should sway this is what the creator intended and straight up told everybody many times.

the ellipses at the end of this is throwing me off lol, like there's something you're implying. so what? what on earth is your point lol - so that's the solution? every monitor and tv should have the ability to rotate 90° to accommodate for the masses' laziness/ignorance/whatever the reason is? and people should get off of their couch and walk up to their TV and manually rotate it depending on the media they are viewing?
all of this that despite the fact that yes, the screen would now be the right orientation, but it still doesn't address the fact that portrait is just inherently the inferior choice for video (unless the video is of a single person standing upright and not moving i guess)

in terms of how people refer to it these days, you may be correct that slightly more are using the hard g. what drives me nuts about the argument though is that the 'hard g' crowd does not have a good argument for it. the "g stands for graphics so it should be a hard g" crowd are immediately proven wrong that that's not how any acronyms work. the "gift" crowd are immediately proven wrong as i just did above.
just be honest with yourselves. the only argument you have is "we just like it better". if you were honest then i wouldn't be able to argue against it.

pan / pang
hat / hate
clam / claim
one letter can and often does completely change pronunciation. i'd give you a good ol' fashion makin fun of, but i actually think you could've gotten there if you would've thought about for a few more seconds. you seem pretty smart. shame you clicked reply too soon.

Hell yea. Might be my first day of fall movie.

this one also makes me irritated in general when I see it happen and sometimes angry when I find out a special moment was only captured via vertical video. Cell phones are amazing portable devices, not the end means of consuming media.
I have an ultra wide monitor at work and giant TVs in half the rooms in my house. 92% of the media I watch is on a landscape screen and the other 8% I'm pooping
1337admin 4 weeks ago • 57%
but g followed by i or e very regularly makes a soft g in English (and always makes a soft g in Italian, which is irrelevant I guess but I speak both). you may as well purposely mispronounce giraffe, gelatin, germ, Giorgio, giant, gentle, etc while you're at it since it they don't start with a j.
by english rules it very often is a soft g, but could be hard as well, but the creator has clarified multiple times it is meant to be soft, so why are people fighting it?

Disappointed, but expected. Can't wait to see Caleb and Rome play.
BEAR DOWN
[Adam Jahns] Matt Eberflus said he removed Montez Sweat from a team period today after he made contact with Caleb Williams. It was the second day in a row. Eberflus told Sweat that he would be "sick" if something happened to Williams. Sweat understood. But his rush has been that good at times.

Caleb will be the Bears' savior and I'll hear nothing else about it. It's statistically impossible for the Bears to bust on another QB

AntennaPod is great, I used it for years. I eventually switched to self hosting AudioBookShelf which does audiobooks, ebooks, and podcasts. One main reason was because podcasts more and more yank the old episodes and put them behind a patreon. AudioBookShelf downloads the episodes to your server so you always have them. About 5 months after starting using it another one of my podcasts pulled that stunt and I was super happy to have all of the old episodes still.

I haven't been as excited for a new era of Bears football since mayyybe the April 2009 news that we got Jay Cutler. I remember there was a ton of hype then too (which didn't live up to the hype, even though Cutty was the best QB in my lifetime). But this really does feel different.
It's happening!!
IT'S HAPPENING

Damn I guess people really don't want to talk about the draft, only downvotes so far, just trying to get a convo going in chibears. What can we do to get some conversations going that the community wants?
Our savior Caleb Williams is coming with pick #1 and he will destroy all rookie and franchise records. I'll hear nothing else about that. What else do you want to happen? Trade up from #9 and get MHJ? Stay put and take best player available? Trade back to get more than the 4 picks we have? Any hopes for pick 75 and 122? I'm hoping we stay at #9 and get Rome (or Nabers if somehow he's still on the board).
I have finally figured out how to program a game day thread bot! It's fairly basic for now, I'll try to tweak some things over time. It'd be great to get some discussions going occasionally in them.

I never understood the boring argument, and I've read it quite a bit online. Every scene has a ton going on.
It starts with a banger wedding outside while the don hears about somebody's daughter being savagely raped. Theres also a short conversation about Fontaine and the movie exec being a dick. Bam, hagen is in Hollywood. You wonder what the family has up their sleeve, bam horse decapitated head in the bed.
Business meeting about drugs, sonny goofs, wonder how that will go - assassination attempt. Hagen held captive. Luca sleeps with the fishes. Don in hospital, another assassination attempt thwarted, scene full of tension the entire time.
Michael decides he's in the business now, they plan the attack, then bam middle of the movie you have an incredibly long tense scene of a drive and dinner that you know is going to end in violence.
I mean all of that is just in the first half of the movie. It's buildup action buildup action repeat. This is not some slow character study alone... It's a master class of character study with plot plot plot.
It's almost ridiculous how much plot there is to be honest. After all of the above there's Carlo abusing Connie and sonny beating the shit out of him. There's Carlo doing it a second time as a trap and sonny getting fucking annihilated by gunfire. Michael escapes to Sicily, gets married, and his wife is murdered in a car bomb meant for him.
The cherry on top is Michael murdering the heads of the other families in one of the best climaxes of all time
Sorry for the rant. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. I just don't understand the boring argument, this is not a slow movie lol

Screen sharing is still a pain in my experience. I'm a tiling window manager guy. I used i3 for years. Switched to sway, but have issues because xdg-desktop-portal-wlr can't do application sharing, only entire screen sharing. Well I have a ultra ultra wide screen, so people can't see shit on normal monitors when I try to share my screen. So at work, where I regularly have video conferences, I'm constantly changing my screen resolution so that I can screen share something that looks OK to others, but 1980x1024 looks ridiculous on my end on my ultrawide.
Hyperland can share applications and even regions, which is awesome, and I tested it successfully on my home gentoo system, but it only worked on Firefox. Didn't work for my jitsi electron app and didn't work in qutebrowser. And hyperland isn't easily installable on Ubuntu which is what I run for work because my work computer needs to just werk (gentoo is probably even more stable but I can't mess with long complie upgrades at work and some corporate software is only available as .debs)
So yea my life would honestly be easier if I just stuck with i3 everywhere but I'm stubbornly trying to use Wayland because I know it's the future but don't kid yourselves, it is a pain in the ass

While docker is open source I have no idea why systemd nspawn containers aren't more popular. Most systems have this built in without needing to install 3rd party software. And I find using it so much easier. I assign each container an IP address and manage them all with ansible. It provides isolation and convenience while not trying to reinvent the wheel.

I'm having a hard time getting into software that doesn't use traditional folder structures. I wish I could point immich to my NAS Pictures folder and have multiple places to seen the same exact files, immich when I want, nextcloud maybe, or just a file browser pointed to my NAS.
I'm having the same issue with paperless-ngx. I set it up and it's cool, but why can't I just point it to my Documents folder? I'm getting all of my 2023 taxes ready and now I have to upload them into two places, paperless-ngx for my records and Nextcloud so I can ultimately share a link with my accountant.
Am I old man yelling at cloud-ing right now? Why get rid of basic folder structures I just don't get it

Bright spot on offense for sure. Now we need a stud center and our line could be very good. Throw in a stud RG and we could be great.

I tend to just read through best-of lists and pick shows that I think are interesting off of that, which often times have fully ended. I'm watching through Deadwood now haha, I'm a little late on that one.
The last time something like that has happened to me is with Last Man on Earth.

Follow up tweet:
[NBCS Chicago] The Bears said their OC interview process would ask the candidates how they’d plan to design offenses around quarterbacks with different skill sets. Waldron apparently aced that test.
1337admin 8 months ago • 100%
I think it's a no brainer to draft a qb. I'm guessing, but i think any talk from poles or flus about keeping all options open etc is just to maximize trade value for fields. I just don't see a way the bears can run it back with fields after 3 seasons of bottom 7 qb play in the league, especially with the #1 pick.
As for OC... No idea there.
1337admin 8 months ago • 100%
it doesn't make any sense. the defense did play better as the season went on but they had one of the easiest schedules... They were playing well against Washington, Carolina, atlanta, etc. They played like absolute garbage against green bay, the chiefs, the chargers... You know, the teams with decent qbs.
I really hope they know what they're doing because not going after harbaugh or one of the other half dozen great candidates is crazy to me

There were some good vibes heading into this game with the back-to-back wins prior. Obviously that is all gone now. Coaching has overall been terrible. Sure Eberflus has done well with the defense, maybe he's just a DC though, not a head coach.
