yes. I see their utm's all the time

[-] Beacon@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

How about their pmq's or dgl's? I bet you don't ever see their btr's

I was saying in a joke way that no one outside of your field will know what you're talking about when you say "utm". And even a couple of web searches didn't explain it. Thanks for the link

I don't do ts either. I just often saw them in URL parameters and searched up UTMs a few years ago and found stuff lol

Hah you gotta be trolling me this time

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 3 months ago

naw

[-] Beacon@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

Sooo, what does ts mean? When speaking to a general audience it's best not to use industry specific initialisms if you want to be understood

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

You're way too mad about this

[-] Beacon@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

I'm not mad in the slightest. Interesting that you read it that way

'sooo what does that shit mean?' to a question already answered kinda indicates anger. Intentional or not.
