    Right, because Gs are never pronounced with a “J” sound, and acronyms are never pronounced differently than their full terms. Sound logic there; well done. Never mind any of these:

    NASA- National Aeronautics Space Uhdministration

    NATO- North Ayy-tlantic Treaty Organization

    LASER- Light Ayy-mplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

    SCUBA- Self Contained Oonderwater Breathing Uhpparatus

    FOMO- Fear ohhf missing ohht

    ASAP- Ayys soon ayys possible

    POC- People ohhf solor

    PIN- Personal id-entification number

    BOGO- Buy ohhn get ohhn

    POTUS- President ohhf the Uhhnited States

    YOLO- You only live ohhnce

    AWOL- Ayy-bsent without awfficial leave

    ICE- Eyemmigration and Sustoms Enforcement

    DARE- Drug Ayybuse Resistance Education


  • This seems like a bit of a strawman argument. I haven’t seen anyone say that explicitly—if they have, it certainly isn’t common. I have seen people say they’re willing to pay for a “higher quality app,” and I can see how you could interpret the implication there being that FOSS apps are shitty in comparison. For me, though, I don’t interpret it the same way, and I’d assume positive intent. Some people like Sync better than the other apps and are willing to pay for it. That’s it, really.
