- Comment on Lemmy instances die twice 3 weeks ago:
The TLD TL;DR is basically that domains don’t come out of nowhere. Just like how you need a lemmy.zip domain to be able to have the subdomains next.lemmy.zip or old.lemmy.zip, in order to have the domain lemmy.zip you must first have someone to run the .zip top-level domain (in this case, Google)
Like Forester mentioned in the other comment, you can have any combination of letters you want as a TLD, you just have to set up and manage all the infra for it (or find somebody else to do it for you)

Yeah my first thought on that was I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles), but I decided to look up “1000 Miles” just to be safe and said “oh yeah”

I wonder if this was inspired by a recent xkcd?
At text: People may complain about readability, but even with jpeg compression, extracting the data points is usually computationally feasible if there aren’t too many of them.

Huh. I know Masto doesn’t do Markdown formatting, but I think that would’ve worked here. I guess escaping that does make more sense though

Yeah not all the way, but still a lot closer than many people think (also “Orgy on My Own”)

And for commercially released stuff, there’s also One More Minute with the line “Now I’m stranded all alone in the gas station of love, and I have to use the self-service pumps!” and the entirety of Wanna B Ur Lovr is just innuendo after innuendo

“A pig without 3.14 is 9.8”
3.14 = first few digits of π (pi)
“pig” without “pi” is “g” (not math, just letters)
g = term for acceleration due to gravity (on Earth) = 9.81 m/s²

Ah, the classic confusion between ‘free as in freedom’ and ‘free as in free beer’
But I’d rather keep the confusion than have to ask “Is this LOSS?” when looking to fulfill my Free/Libre software needs (and no, “is this FLOSS” is basically the same thing)

- Comment on Defederation Results 9 months ago:
Could we get an ongoing list of defederated instances with their reasons/relevant posts? I feel that’s an important transparency aspect for instances, and would be useful to look back on if it ends up growing a little more by the the moderation tools improve to become a viable alternative
- Comment on You can now verify your Threads profile on Mastodon 9 months ago:
Tldr this isn’t really anything new for Mastodon. If you link to a website in your profile, you could verify you own that website (or are a representative of it, ie writer for news or a blog) by having that site link back to your profile with a special
rel=“me”
attribute. The new thing is that Threads now also supports these links, so linking your Threads account on your Mastodon account can show you have verified that you own that Threads account. This also works with any other site that supports rel=me links for verification.I agree with all y’all that Threads is EEE, but I think this particular feature is a really good thing and I’d love to see more sites implement this as a really simple way to cross-verify (ownership of) accounts
- Comment on You can now verify your Threads profile on Mastodon 9 months ago:
This isn’t entirely true. Verification on Mastodon isn’t verifying your account for a shiny badge, it’s verifying ownership of sites that you link on your profile. If you add a link to a website, and that website links back to your profile, Mastodon will show that one link as verified. But that link needs a special
rel=“me”
attribute to count for verification, which is what Threads now supports.I am absolutely sure Threads is an attempt at EEE, but this specific feature is a good thing imo. I’d love to see more sites support rel=me links for simple cross-platform account (ownership) verification
- Comment on You can now verify your Threads profile on Mastodon 9 months ago:
While I’m sure Threads as a whole is an attempt at EEE, I don’t think this is that big a deal. In fact, I’d like to see every other site support it, too
As the article mentions, verification on Mastodon is just verifying ownership of some links in your profile (not the entire account), which just checks the target site for a special link back to your profile (specifically adding the
rel=“me”
attribute to it). Now when you add a link to your Threads profile, if it sees a rel=me link pointing back your Threads profile, it will add the rel=me on its end as well. Following the steps in the article, Mastodon will then see the rel=me attribute on the link to your profile there, and show the link as verified, just the same as if it saw any other rel=me link on any other site. And any other site that supports link verification the same way will also now be able to verify ownership of your Threads profile.Using rel=me links like this is a great simple way to cross-verify all your other accounts and websites without needing to sign in or authorize any access. Just point the two sites at each other and violà!
