I get my American slang through Hollywood and Internet, so the curriculum may not be entirely comprehensive at times.

Oh. That’s a new one for me.

Had to look at my keyboard to translate that.

Yeah, the y-axis is unlabeled, but at least the title still tells you what it is: traffic. Doesn’t even have any numbers, so there’s no need to ask about the unit either.

This is more like the graphs made at the marketing department where km becomes KM, because it looks cooler. Same goes of MG, because why not. Is that milligrams or megagrams? Don’t worry about it. I mean, it’s just numbers, so who cares anyway. It’s not like anyone tries to calculate something with them. It’s well known in the marketing department that no human on earth is able do things like that.

Interesting.

Relying on your intuition really is no substitute to actually looking things up. If I had a tattoo on the back of my hand, it should say something like that, so that I won’t forget it. Keeps happening all the time.

On the other hand, the internet is always more than glad to correct my mistakes, so I still see this mess as a win-win for everyone.

IMO link B is the “most original” one. Sort of like an “authoritative source”, if you will.

This should cover it fairly well.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been #Bloomscrolling lately. As far as I’m concerned, the MAUs are here for the wows.

Risky comment of the day. Maybe they just don’t like to hear what I have to say. Maybe I could have been a little less blunt about it. Who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Both extremes exist. Hence, the condition about loosing your grip on reality.

People above a certain age should begin to avoid social media and stick with more private forms of communication like email, phone calls, signal messages and f2f discussions. Once your ability to tell fact from fiction deteriorates enough, announcing your opinions publicly becomes increasingly problematic.

Interesting. That exact same logo was used by the app that changed its name to Impressia. So, maybe it started as one thing, but later evolved to what it is now. A confusing journey really.

Isn’t that just a pixelfed app? I think Vernissage changed its name recently. Nowadays it’s like Impressia or something like that.

What about the Marxist-Leninist, communist, socialist, anti-capitalist crowd? I don’t know if they hang around on other platforms, but they certainly are present here on Lemmy.

Also, what about sexual and gender minorities? I get the feeling that there are a lot of queer people on Mastodon. Maybe that could be another selection criteria.

Like this:

Are you queer? -> Mastodon

Are you a Marxist? -> Lemmy

Also, some people will intentionally add numbers at the end of the alias to make it look like all the good names were already taken. Sort of like a joke or a reference to all the bigger social media platforms.

I’ve seen something similar happen when a site doesn’t load all the way. Refreshing fixes that unless something has gone horribly wrong.

Why stop there? 128 or 256 sound much nicer. Actually, while you’re at it, 4096 should be enough to fit a short story.

I’ve once had a password that was over 200 characters long. That was in a custom email server where the admin either didn’t know or care about limitations. I mean, if you can have a super long password, then why not. I just kept on going until I felt like it was secure enough.

I used a randomly generated character soup, so there’s no way I’m ever going to memorize that nightmare of a password. Even if I print it on paper and hand to you, there’s a pretty good chance that you wouldn’t be able to type it correctly without restoring to OCR.

Some wise Lemmy user once said something like this: “Windows is an enterprise OS with consumer features. MacOS is a consumer OS with enterprise features.”

If that’s really the case, MS doesn’t really care that much about the consumer market. My guess is, most of the money comes from various companies anyway.

That keyboard thing was pretty clever. I would not have thought of that.
