  I wasn’t entirely serious, but…

  If memory serves, you just add lemmyverse.link/ after the https:// bit, so it’d be
  lemmyverse.link/lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40704282

  It looks like lemsha.re works similarly:
  lemsha.re/https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40704282

  It’s a bit weird that it insists on the link being via https but then includes that in the url…

  You missed a great opportunity to use lemshare/lemmyverse here

  “Commentator posts hot take, demonstrating a massive lack of empathy to people doing a stressful and important job.”

  Yes, I still have it showing up in Windows/Android, and phone numbers show their cost per minute.

  I have a load of credit on there still (got tricked by them deactivating my credit and popped up unnecessarily). I still use it for international calls at least once a month, I hope this news story is overblown.

  I think it’s probably a mix of criticising a joke for its accuracy, and the fact that it’s in a single paragraph so it’s a huge wall of text.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Type-safe C-killer Delphi turns 30⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Turbo Pascal was my first real programming language, and Delphi was pretty pleasant to use for GUI programs as I recall.

  I’d never even heard of Lazarus, I might have to try it for a nostalgia trip.

  I enjoyed the post about Trying to use a terminal only laptop.

  I assume Peta just wants to be in the news? The Sly Old Fox is not an offensive name.

  Quality post, with plenty of useful and good advice.

  I’m happy to see sqlite being recommended - I think people don’t realise how resilient and performant a database it is.

  Very surprising to hear you need to restart GoToSocial to add new users!
