Have you tried logging in again? I think Voyager doesn't always know/tell you when your login's expired.

My email uses greylisting which is where the first email received from a server gets a "busy" response - the idea being that spammers just fire and forget whereas real mailers will retry.

Unfortunately, some senders take so long to resend that it's timed out. The second time will work though. Unless they have multiple servers. Some have so many servers that you have to do this a multitude of times until you lose the will to login or forget what you were going to do anyway.

It was that you could use quoted punctuation to punctuate a sentence, but you shouldn't quote anything that's not part of the quote. For example, you wouldn't say

The first word of that popular birthday song is "happy."

This would suggest that the first line goes "Happy. Birthday to you" whereas you could just finish after the quote: first word is "happy".

Also, compare

He said "hello"?
He said "hello?"
He said "hello?"?

All mean different things, although that last one does look very odd.

There are plenty of companies still selling actual chocolate, and since it's chocolate and not chocolate-flavoured sweets I think it'll just become smaller and/or more expensive. Which is fine.

I think that the relative lack of content is actually a feature for this reason - sometimes I open Lemmy out of habit, but I see the same content and go do something more worthwhile instead.

And on Voyager (on Android) the 9s and the 1. that becomes 1000000000 are clipped so that only the last 2.5 digits are visible.

The fix is not obvious: you need to escape the . with a backslash (\.):

2000.

1000000000.

999999999.

1.

I can't believe I had to read so many comments before getting to one that mentioned The Big Lebowski. So rewatchable.

Waterworld

Which version though? Theatrical, ABC, Extended, Ulysses Cut or Ulysses Cut Revised Edition?

Fascinating stuff, and it makes sense that a more rigid, rules-based version of English would be both taught in ESL schools and learnt by an LLM.

If I start a sentence, "The cat sat on the...",

Me: "mat"

your brain, and the AI, will predict the word "floor."

Oh. I'm not sure that's the best example, as that particular phrase is something many children encounter when learning to read.

Also, British English would close the quotes before the full stop (aka period) finishes the sentence - is that something he's picked up since school or is that something that's changed since the Kenyan model of perfect English was set?

“Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State,” Trump continued.

If he hasn't done anything wrong, why does he need a pardon?

Watermelons became symbols of Palestine amid censorship of the Palestinian flag because of its similar colours.

Ah, ok - before reading I thought someone had got their stereotypes mixed up.
