You can use FF’s or Chrome’s cookie files: http://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#load-cookies

I would recommend Aria2. It can download several chunks of a file in parallel, resume downloads automatically with a set number of retries, it supports mirrors (maybe not an option for Google Takeout, but for other cases), and it can dpwnload over many different protocols.

Yeah. It’s a good idea to guard against it, but I would still never put spaces in filesnames that I myself choose.

Spaces in file names will always be fiddly though. It’ll work, but it’ll still be wrong, because arguments are space separated, and having spaced file names totally messes with that.

But that’s not unconventional, is it? Everyone has one.

That’s considered unconventional where you are? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a kitchen without one here in the Nordics.

Hmm, okay, it’s apparently debated. However, the only way I’ve learned it is that initialisms are words formed from initial letters of included words, and acronyms are initialisms pronounced as words. It seems like it varies by country as well.

Are there circles in which it’s NOT pronounced like that?

Looking For Group

Someone at work insisted the MVP emoji meant Minimum Viable Product. I get that the term exists, and that we use it, but it’s way more niche than Most Valuable Player, and it’s certainly no emoji.

I learned about a11y like a year ago, and thought it was 1337 speak for ally until I looked it up, and only then (like 20 years after first seeing it) did I realize what i18n meant.

It’s always been For The Win to me. Fuck the world seems to have been before my time.

Which I do.

I hear SQL way more than Sequel. Luckily, since I don’t like hearing it as sequel.

Other way around.

Yes! Imagine not being American, and Magic is the only thing you could ever associate MTG with.

I’ve literally never heard it any other way. O_O

I always pronounce all initialisms as words if even close to possible. I don’t care whether or not they were meant to. Till, fuhtfy, fuhmmuhl, wuhtf, and so on. Some I understand why others might say as individual letters, but others I have no clue because it doesn’t make sense to me at all. Why would you ever say double-u tee eff, which is two syllables longer than the actual words?

For years I had no idea Point of Sale was a thing, and always thought people were talking about systems they hated as pieces of shit.
