Hideo Kojima's Commitment To Acronym Jackets Remains Undefeated

Open request to the users of Mastodon: if you use an acronym, please spell it out the first time you use it in each post. You know what the acronym means, but Mastodon is huge and there are people all over the world who may be reading your post. Telling us that some alphabet soup did something means nothing if it just comes out as alphabet soup!

It's standard practice in journalism and writing to fully write out the words of an acronym the first time it's used. Please think of your readers.

Thanks!

#TIL -- #GAFAM -- mainly used outside of EN-only circles -- is an #acronym for

Google -- Amazon -- Facebook -- Apple -- Microsoft

ie all the stuff you want to offload to save your life being swallowed and converted to nutrition for these giants and techno-fascism.

Personally, I'd swell that to #XAGFAM, where we all know what the "X" stands for.

"The BBU for the RTC on the MB is a NiCd" and other perfectly sensible things computer geeks say that lead others to believe they have lost their minds.
