Hexbear is where the chapotraphouse users largely have landed assuming they followed the direct line of succession. There probably is some contingent in Lemmy.ml, but not because it was the successor

Make it fast to push the limits of the machine, then bring it back and make it look good afterwards

Ml is run by the creators of Lemmy, and hexbear is well… Not. Hexbear made their own fork of lemmy a long time ago and only in the past year or so have they been actually able to federate at all. I don’t see the creators of Lemmy going through all that effort to hide their identities if they were actually running hexbear behind the scenes

I figure the increased power getting to the etching process also helps increase throughput. I’m guessing that you only need a total amount of energy to do a unit of etching work, so with more power you can do more units of etching work per unit time.

Also funny, the klicky itself is based on the work done leading into the quickdraw probes from Annex Engineering, the rabbit hole just gets deeper.

SCUBA, LASER, JPEG, ROM, etc. all break the “pronounced as the nested word” argument.

I’m down for people to pronounce it however they please (assuming it’s recognizable as gif), but the post-hoc rationalizations trying to prove their side as the one true pronunciation are silly. The only rationalization that makes any sense to me is the “creator pronounces it as jif”, but language doesn’t work that way so even that doesn’t matter as far as “one true pronunciation” goes.
