There's a joke in here somewhere about machinists.

It's a reference to your basic 'Baton Roue' meme.

I assume it's meant to represent the perspective of pro-AI people, but it's ambiguous.

The 'b' sound is a plosive too, by the way. It's voiced, vs the voiceless 'k'.

But the place of articulation kinda flips, from rear consonant/front vowel (kiki), to front consonant/rear vowel (bouba).

If you flipped the voicing, it'd be 'gigi' vs 'poupa', which to my ears at least, is a lot less clear cut.

Anecdotally, 'its' sans apostrophe will be automatically "corrected" by my phone.

On the bright side, this has finally given me the push to disable auto-correction.

Your comment incorrectly attributed an autocorrect error to the person's dialect.

That error was entirely your own, and a conscious one, unlike what you were commenting on.

I'm on a waitlist for this. I went to hospital for an attack about six months ago, and I started overthinking this question afterwards. Wondering silly things like 'is the scale linear or logarithmic?!'

I just looked online, and paintball bow and arrows exist!

(kinda pricey though)

Meanwhile historians are out there, regarding things from 500 years ago as modern.

It's just the natural evolution of AI into a crab.

Most of the games I play are resource management or base/city building games. I haven't bothered checking if a game works in the last few years, I just fork over my money at this point.

I think the closest to a AAA game was Anno 1800 and Mount&Blade Bannerlord, both worked fine. All the current popular city builders work fine (eg. Timberborn, Foundation, Manor Lords). A lot of the games I play are early access too, or the pre-release stream.

The one game that didn't work was Bongo Cat, which is free anyway. The devs are working on an X11 version though, and it's practically a whimsical keylogger, so it might not appeal to fans of Linux anyway!

I'm guessing they're thinking of the word 'money'.

Let's have a moment of silence for the hair follicles of future archaeologists.

I've never even connected the 'X' to the Greek letter chi. I just kinda accepted it as one of many groovy web 2.0 misspellings in search of a domain and trademark.
