He got out of the US recently-- I’m sure there’ll be periods in setting up in a new country where he’s too busy to be on lemmy

As a publicly traded US company, can’t the board of directors vote Elon out because of tanking sales? Seems like that’s the only way for the company to survive at this point.
Aren’t there also a bunch of govt officials making alts on bluesky to try to somewhat anonymously get info out?
The format uses ! with the comm plus @ the instance, so !iselonmuskdeadyet@lemmy.world
They picked a side when they let a bunch of fash shit slide on T_D in the run up to 2016. No surprise though-- tech bros rarely have a working moral compass

1·17 days agoThe separation between acronyms and initialisms isn’t as strict as you’ve described here. Acronym is the older word and people generally use it to mean both acronym and initialism, whereas the latter mostly indicates cases where you read individual letters.
What is the difference between an acronym and an initialism?
Both acronyms and initialisms are made up of the first letter or letters of the words in a phrase. The word acronym typically applies when the resulting thing can be read as a word; for example, radar comes from “radio detection and ranging” and scuba comes from “self-contained underwater breathing apparatus.” The word initialism only applies when the resulting thing is read as an abbreviation; for example DIY, which comes from “do it yourself,” is pronounced by saying the names of the letters. Note that the word acronym is also sometimes used to mean “initialism.”

Right, but beyond that we’ve got further definitions of the word meaning “usefulness” or “getting benefit from”. So like a clip that had lasting support throughout a political campaign that can be used over and over could be described as something you “get a lot of mileage out of”. Does that exist in metric countries?
