FWIW I shifted my monthly Wikipedia donation to The Internet Archive recently and recommend others do the same. Just a few bucks a month, please, it matters. Zero hate for Wikipedia, it’s a critically important piece of human culture, but they’re plenty good on $ and we need to be fostering backups of shared knowledge and historical records. This is important! No one will do it for us, only we who care can do it!

If there’s any new Lemmy users here, coming from Reddit (feel like I’m opening a seance), and if you’re wondering what else you might decide to change during this era of change -

Try Linux! It’s easy now, and frankly just better :)

Please don’t let Musk convince you Trump is decent/better.

Ah but even coming from a native speaker, it just flows so smoothly and feels just like saying what is arguably now the most common greeting said in English. To me it’s like the word “app” is hiding itself right in the most natural greeting, the greeting also being a symbolic distillation of the app’s purpose - there’s an elegant, simple symmetry to it in my ears, the opposite of buzzword cringe!

But hey, opinions and assholes eh? Taste is so subjective lol. Just glad they didn’t name it iWhatsApp, then we’d agree and be big mad

Have to disagree, WhatsApp is a great name, maybe the best named app of this entire generation of software.
