I pronounce it like "library" (US pronounciation, long "i"). That is how we pronounced it at the workplace I was at when I first started programming (mid-90's, California) and it stuck.

@chillicampari @mfeilner I believe your mean grab-hicks.

@chillicampari never believes me. The plural of moose should be meese, like goose and geese. But she opposes. Violently. Loudly. Says ugly things like "Markus."

@mjj @chillicampari one moose, two meese
seems logical and legit.

@chillicampari Could you please do the same poll for “sudo”? Do people pronounce it like “pseudo” or like “Sue do”?

@benjamingeer that's a really good one! You should make it (and the poll and linux hashtags are good with that) and I'll boost it.
(edit- whoops, that was the "poll" hashtag that I meant, not "poo" hashtag. I don't know what you would get back with that)

@chillicampari Done! I was tempted for a moment to try the poo hashtag. 😄

@Zenie thank you! Yes, it is different in French and I wish I had remembered that when making the poll.
When I say "Libre software" I think I always pronounce it "leeb".@chillicampari
Yea. It's not just french either. Lots of languages have an I that sounds like ee.I think most people understood you. But it did certainly make me think about it.

@mfeilner I've been saying this for decades. At least now there are two of us!

@chillicampari it makes no sense even though I knew it was short for libraries

I use lib a in liberty because I'm not a native English speaker and in my language lib only has one pronunciation 8-D

@chillicampari @mfeilner little known fact, GIF is pronounced with a soft G because it was intended to be a Giraffe Image Format to share photos of giraffes, before it was discovered to be generally useful for Graphics Interchange.

di Umberto Eco (Alessandria,1932 – Milano, 2016)
Pensa un fiume, denso e maestoso, che corre per miglia e miglia entro argini robusti, e tu sai dove sia il fiume, dove l’argine, dove la terra ferma. A un certo punto il fiume, per stanchezza, perché ha corso per troppo tempo e troppo spazio ... https://cctm.website/umberto-eco-italia-5/

Finally a smart fuzzy file picker for neovim.
FFF stands for freakin fast fuzzy file finder (pick 3) and it is an opinionated fuzzy file picker for neovim. Just for files, but we'll try to solve file picking completely.
It comes with a dedicated rust backend runtime that keep tracks of the file index, your file access and modifications, git status, and provides a comprehensive typo-resistant fuzzy search experience

Palantir fornisce tecnologie di sorveglianza a eserciti e servizi segreti in tutto il mondo. In Svizzera, tuttavia, le sue proposte sono state respinte sia dalle autorità governative che dall'esercito. Documenti interni ne hanno ora svelato il motivo.

I made it!!It was not even the save pod.
In the end I've smashed the corvette a bunch of times against some asteroids, then a few freighters came, I've shot at one and let the sentinels shoot me down.
I died, earned 1 point as pirate, but in the end I woke up back on the space station, outside that frigging corvette!!

Pity: in the new game I've started I've found two paradise planets in two systems, as soon as I've started. 😅
