Came here for this one with the recent boutique announcement. Boy, Roland’s in here a lot!
I don’t have any music hardware at the ready then, but this topic reminds me of this video game title:
void tRrLM();++
Pronounced as Void Terrarium Plus Plus.
Lol! Somebody 3D printed the save emoji. Cute!
Because LeBron? Aren’t you a Browns fan?
Back to topic: I think someone should use “Thingy” as a brand name now that everthingy is everythingy
I like capital numbers.
Acronyms, WTF?
Can we just stop gaining time.
I am, life long fan!
I’ve started getting into the NBA ten some years ago and by proximity where I’m at now is close to Philly so I adopted them as my team.
I do however, love LeBron. Dude is a beast and why I started watching NBA. I was bandwagon cavs fan and still do root for them.
My college team is IU as I lived there when my friends got me into college football!
I’m a fucking mess sports team wise! It’s exhausting!
WTF is wrong with WTF?
I had someone once say capital numbers, referring to shift + number for the symbol! True story! Felt bad for them!
I’m from San Diego and for some reason, I think it’s because of Randall Cunningham, I have a soft spot for all Philly teams. Even the dang Phillies who always destroy us in the playoffs. As a whole, the Philly teams have incredible uniforms and that’s important to me. Also we need a catch-all sports thread.
Hidden to not be flagged because this is a very important topic.
I really have a hard time with the acronym “DAW” it legitimately sounds stupid. You can’t say it without becoming a mouth breather. And WTF is a digital audio workstation anyway? Does running Word make my computer a digital typing workstation?
(I’m old and we called it “desktop publishing” ie using a printer)
DAW always makes me think of cute animals being snuggly or something.
@malus_mons hit the nail on the head for me. I just realized when I use DAW in an explanation to my wife, I really do pause and almost have to say it with a sort of “actually 
” energy. Now I’m going to be self conscious of this…
Maybe you already know this, but WTF isn’t an acronym
Quite right. But basically the whole world is unaware initialisms are a thing, and so group both pronounceable and unpronounceable versions as acronyms. It’s like everyone says tannoy, tarmac, hoover etc. (Getting my best Alan Partridge on here.)
The trend, particularly among online SaaS/PaaS platforms, to name adjectivise things in a cute way by adding “-ly” to a common word is very grating.
Also the appropriation of .io (Indian Ocean Territory) domains for all things software- or games-related has always seemed a bit weird to me (getting a bit off topic here), just because of the very tenuous connection to i/o meaning input/output in engineering.
But the Indian Ocean Territory is probably filling its coffers, just like Tuvalu (.tv) was doing a while ago
There is no money flowing to the British Indian Ocean Territory, only to entrepreneurs and private equity in the UK and US.
Tuvalu has an actual government, so they are doing better out of .tv.

Very true!
Ø - is an empty set symbol. A good match for ambient music title
Sad to hear. TLD misappropriation really grinds my gears (.cat comes to mine) but at last for micro nations, some money went where it was useful. Should not be surprised that web 2.0/X.0 is even more of a blatant money grab.
