  • X Users Find Their Real Names Are Being Googled in Israel After Using X Verification Software “Au10tix”

    Jump

  • You scrolled past the (annoying) "read more" button and are now on the next article.

  • recharge time

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is most wholesome and relatable thing I've seen on Lemmy for ages

  • People always want their ideal conversation to sound like movie characters, but in reality most people talk as if they're in an interrogation room or how people sound like on police bodycam footage.

    Jump

  • Also there's the style of delivery - old acting used to be very exaggerated and hammy, then there's the kind of flawless but somewhat natural style that OP is talking about, through to today's more realistic "mumbling" style that everyone complains about.

  • 2026-01-14: The Day the telnet Died

    Jump

  • Bad news on the backboneI couldn't scan a single ASN

    I'm trying to figure out what pronunciation or accent the author uses to have this rhyme. A heavy South African accent, so backbone is more like "berckben"? Pronouncing ASN as "a-sone"?

  • Linux, FOSS, and whatever else makes me happy in my homelab

    Jump

  • In the other post, you claim you'd ordered them from Etsy. Is it your Etsy shop? I'm struggling to see how both can be true.

  • Exposed Moltbook Database Let Anyone Take Control of Any AI Agent on the Site

    Jump

  • I had to laugh - that lot have absolutely no clue when it comes to security. Even in a VM I'm not sure I'd trust running Clawdbot (or whatever it's named this week).

  • What are the metal sticks on aircraft wings for?

    Jump

  • On a Boeing, they're zip ties holding them together

  • I can be considered Trekkie or just a viewer?

    Jump

  • I'd assume that most people are familiar with the term Trekkie, but would have to use context to figure out Trekker ("you like long walks?")

    Whatever the intention, coining/identifying as a separate term suggests someone taking it quite seriously. I just consider them synonyms.

  • My self hosted badges of honor

    Jump

  • edit: FYI, this shop is OP's shop

    Found them! This lets me cheat and figure out the ones I couldn't name (or knew I'd got wrong like Digital Ocean that I thought probably wasn't Commodore 64).

  • These are really consistent, do you print them yourself?

  • Dev creates astrology-powered CPU scheduler for Linux, makes decisions based on planetary positions and zodiac signs — sched_ext framework informed by lunar phases, cosmic weather reports, and dynamic

  • [he wrote] a sequel to 1984.

    I didn't know this bit of his story. Anyone read it? I'm assuming it's not very good/coherent but perhaps he was as gifted a writer as he was a coder.

  • Element Effects

    Zodiac sign elements create elemental affinities and oppositions:

    Boosted Combinations (tasks thrive under compatible elements):

    • 🔥 Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) × CPU tasks: 1.5x boost
    • 🌬️ Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) × Network tasks: 1.5x boost
    • 🌍 Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) × System tasks: 1.4x boost
    • 💧 Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) × Memory tasks: 1.3x boost

    Hang on - Aquarius, the water-bearer, is an air element? I'm beginning to think this astrology stuff doesn't make much sense.

    I like that water is responsible for memory, like how homeopathic medicine works.

  • The Incredible Overcomplexity of the Shadcn Radio Button

    Jump

  • This is a crazy mess.

    The subject of "worse reimplementations of native features" reminds me of trying to find an event for the (2012?) Olympics. They didn't seem to have a search, but they did have an infinite scrolling schedule page so I held down End until the page had everything and used the native search. No results, even when I tried something that I knew was at the top of the page.

    I noticed the scrollbar was acting weird and looked into it. Turns out that they were removing the parts of the page outside of the viewport and loading them back in when you scrolled.

    I suspect it's because they were finding their bloated page was slow on some devices so put in this terrible hack, but it broke basic browser features.

  • What are some common nicknames for names in your country?

    Jump

  • That's really interesting, I guess I'd assumed it was a universal thing.

    I know some people who are known by various versions of their names in their different circles, e.g. Robert/Bob to their family, Rob to their school friends, Bobby to their uni mates and Robert at work.

  • Companies with TLDs named after them is the best example of how ridiculously big those companies are.

    Jump

  • That argument only works if you're expecting Google to move youtube.com to youtube.google, which I can't see happening. If a brand's a household name and can be found at brand.com, then it stands to reason that they'd leave it like that.

    For Google/Microsoft budgets, domain name registration is irrelevant as a cost. Besides, even if they did move the domains, they'd still keep the old ones alive for forwarding and to stop anyone else taking them. For example, Google still has googleplus.com, despite that that was never the official address (they used a subdomain: plus.google.com).

  • What are some common nicknames for names in your country?

    Jump

  • The UK had a history of rhyming nicknames for shortened versions, like William -> Will -> Bill, and most of those are still common in English speaking countries. Richard -> Dick, Robert -> Bob (also Hob, Dob and Nob but these didn't survive).

    These shortened versions can then get extended: Edward -> Ed -> Ted -> Teddy, Margaret -> Meg -> Peg -> Peggy, Anne -> Nan -> Nancy

    In the middle ages it was common to make a diminutive name by adding -kin, -in, or -cock, which gave us John -> Jankin/Jenkin -> Jakin -> Jack. Also, Robert -> Robin, Henry -> Hank

    Jump

  • Equally, you can only allow *.google.com as easily as *.google, so I still don’t think that makes much sense.
