  I am so grateful for already having been paranoid about sharing anything identifying about me starting 15+ years ago.

  I never uploaded a picture of myself. Never used my real name anywhere. I used different nicks for different branches of the Internet. A plethora of different email addresses etc.

  People thought I was being overly careful and I probably missed a lot of things due to not using Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat but I can’t say I regretted it at any point.

  Thank you! Finally an answer to my problem that didn’t end with me going to the car wash and being utterly confused how to proceed.

  What’s there to discuss about ISO 8601?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Website⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, technically you don’t need a domain. An IP is enough. If you don’t have your own IP (like a shared host) you’ll need to put it in a subdirectory but there is no need to have a domain to put something on the Internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Alternatives, Ranked⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of people I know regularly use screen sharing through discord or opentalk. Both for work/productivity and while gaming (watching each other, helping, sharing what people are up to etc).

  To get people to switch it sadly should support all features: text, voice, video and sending files/images/gifs/videos.

  It’s tough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I used an original iPod Nano in 2026, and it worked surprisingly well⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just bought an Innioasia Y1, which is an iPod classic clone for $50.

  Put an unofficial Rockbox port on it and installed a 512gb micro SD card. Ignoring the mediocre DAC and comparatively unresponsive click wheel it’s pretty good. I finally have my entire music library with me again and look at my phone less often (both of which were goals of getting an mp3 player again).

  I was big into mp3 players 15-20 years ago and used Rockbox on all of them so this is really nice especially at the price point.

  PS: They are working on a Y2 that improves upon a lot of things. The Y1 was marketed as a kids device but is awesome with Rockbox on it and went viral the past few months.

  I feel like Windows 11 is just another Microsoft “Windows moment”.

  en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-pound_burger

  A third-pound burger is a hamburger containing a patty that weighs one-third of a pound (approximately 5.3 ounces or 150 grams) before cooking. It is larger than a quarter-pound burger (4 ounces or 113 grams), which is commonly offered by fast-food chains. The third-pound burger became widely known in the 1980s following a marketing campaign by A&W Restaurants in the United States. The campaign, which sought to compete with McDonald’s Quarter Pounder, was unsuccessful because consumers misunderstood fractions, making it a case study in consumer behavior and marketing communication.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xitter Pause Encrypted DMs.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would not trust any company/website to properly encrypt any important messages in the first place so I don’t care whether they add a backdoor (and I’ve never had a Twitter account anyway).

  …but it sounds like a really shitty development/release process to me. Why would you disable something while whatever is to come in its place is not ready yet?

  Why not do the development first and then migrate when it’s actually ready lol

  I can speak from experience having used both wired (Index) and wireless (Pico 4 with ALVR) VR on Linux and the performance and stability is horrible. Always has been sadly. I can play some VR games on Linux but overall it’s not worth it in the current state.
