Ubuntu.
Oo boon too?
Oo bun too?
Pretty sure the correct pronunciation is the first, but a lot of people say it as the second.
... lets just name the next big FOSS thing 'Uranus' and watch everyone disagree about how to pronounce that, very loudly.
No, YOUR anus!

There's an Arduino-based CNC controller firmware called GRBL. Gurble? Gerbil? Garble? GeeArrBeeElle? GuhRuhBuhLuh?

Pretty weird guy, honestly. Seems competent, but spends too much time complaining about other people instead of working on his own stuff.
Woah, how can you say that? Don't you know he worked for blizzard!

Godot being woke? Wtf?
I guess they woke up and made a good open source game engine?

I most often hear it pronounced you-bun-too.
But it is oo-boon-too.

Hah! I'm gonna go with the last one, hahaha!

Dang, I can't say I've ever heard You Bun Too... thats new to me!

What has this Pirate Software released? I'm not familiar with their games
Really? Most games I played in my life were pirated software.

What you're saying is true, that not knowing how to pronounce aloud a word you've only ever read is not some kind of 100% surefire sign you're a bigot or anything like that.
It just means, as you say, that you've never heard it said aloud.
But... that also means you never bothered to look up how it is pronounced (its on wikipedia, the actual Godot devs have videos of them saying it, etc)... and it does also mean you presumably are also unfamiliar with Waiting for Godot.
So I would say you are also 'uncultured' in that way, but of course, simply being uncultured doesn't make one a bigot.
You could just not have the time, money, etc, to have seen the play before.
That by no means say anything else really concrete about you, or any other person, if that's like... the only single datapoint you know about them.
In all seriousness, I do strongly recommend seeing the actual play, probably you could find a dramatic reading / radio drama version of it somewhere on the net, or even a full video captured performance of it on a forgotten youtube channel or the Internet Archive.
I... don't know that its ever been adapted as a proper movie, perhaps a film snob can appear and call me uncultured, haja!
not reading / watching a play by Beckett means you're uncultured
Is there a community for Shit Lemmy Says?

wrote last edited by [email protected]Not that I'm aware of, but if you wanna start one, it might be a good idea to not fill it with fabricated quotes that remove all the surrounding context.
Maybe you could go back to reddit, make a subreddit entirely devoted to shit stirring and drama there?
Seems like a better fit to me.

I'm pretty sure this is the same guy who was ranting about Godot "being woke" last year lol

Exactly, seems competent. But only seems, he's a narcissistic nepobaby who just can't admit he's in the wrong be it in video games or real life.
I just can't understand why anyone would follow a piece of shit like him

Enough with the pitchforks. Musk is a Nazi, Thor is just an idiot. There is a difference.
Boycott who you want, but don't make this a vendetta for life. Petition is through, Thor got what he deserved. Case closed.
Uhh? I don't agree with them that it's that big of a deal but he did a lot more than being an idiot, he tried (and almost succeeded) to kill a petition that many people dedicated months of their life to because he's a narcissist who refuses to change his opinion, and he would very clearly do it again if given the chance. I would say pitchforks are justified.

Just a heads up, your two clips are linking to the same vid

OP is mistaken. PirateSoftware defended Godot official and pointed out the actual perpetrator of hate was a mod of an unofficial fan discord. Someone else posted a clip of it in this thread.

You might be right, but I don't believe you have any frame of reference to determine that he's not competent. How much of his actual work have you reviewed?

I would strongly disagree with not looking up the specific pronunciation of a word being an indicator of being less cultured, as this does paint those who are not able to hear it (or have learning disabilities) as inherently less cultured.
I never looked up the specific pronunciation because I was not aware the name was not pronounced the way it was spelt until my mother told me. Being a high functioning autistic individual, I am generally afraid of using words I don't already say a lot because I am never sure of the proper pronunciation (which is also subject to variation due to accents and regional dialects).
Personally, I subscribe to the idea of sharing new things with people and teaching if they're receptive to it, because that's a lot more constructive in my opinion.
You said the play was worth watching, yes? Is there a particular recording you would recommend recommend?

He did? Weird, never mentioned it.

wrote last edited by [email protected]As far as I've seen, the only thing PirateSoftware did "wrong" was point out some unintentional consequences that would fall on indie developers given the language used in SKG as written, and get a bit personal in his criticism of Ross Scott, and everyone has lost their minds on the dude. Idgaf about personal beef between creators and I agree with his concerns for indie developers even though I still support the idea of SKG (there is a happy medium place to be found here). Even if I didn't, he's said nothing so inflammatory to the cause as to earn all this stupid drama. Chill the fuck out.
