It’s clearly intended to be “git tea” given its little cute signin page, “git with a cup of tea”.

But yeah my boss calls it like “git taya” and I feel like an idiot trying to say “gitty”[-up!]

Because other people stop existing in that bubble, because they become part of the background, bubbled people stop caring about them.

Bro’s not saying you have to memorize the manual, just like … read it. Even a bit of familiarity goes a long way.

If you have literally no memory then command line is 100% unusable but otherwise every little bit helps.

It’s [edit: inspired by although that explanation feels pretty lame to me] Esperanto. The correct spelling should be “Forĝejo”.

Pronunciation is like the English word “forge”. J is pronounced like English “Y”, so “ejo” is a-yo.

IPA: fɔɹd͡ʒejo.

The problem with Libreoffice is that they are satisfied with being a second-rate clone of the baroque mess that is Office 2007.

Google Docs is the last thing to push the Word Processor forward, kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

I’m pretty sure there’s a viable solution in the git +markdown+latex space but no one has quite found it yet. LyX is close-ish but misses the mark.

Only office is basically the same interface again, all cloning MS-office 2007-2010.

Bleach.

“Algorithmic steering” is okay as long as the algorithm is relatively straightforward, public, and well-understood.

The problem is when the corpos tweak it to suit their mass-market advertisers.

Awesome. That seems like the way to go then!

Are there good alternatives?

I feel like forums really fell behind the times, with shitty threading systems and awkward text formatting interfaces and the horror that is bbcode.

Meanwhile discord handles image embedding gracefully, with markdown formatting and previews.

What’s the next-gen forum system that’s keeping up with modern times? Is there a part of the fediverse that meets this?

Discourse seems the most modern, but not sure if it is open, let alone federated.

Lemmy almost fills it but tends to be too ephemeral and doesn’t handle multiple forums/channels for one broad topic.
