lemmy.zip’s birthday is tomorrow!
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)
It’s just your OpenStreetMap username, doesn’t have to a real name. You can set “your name” to be some anonymous gibberish if you’d like
Any chance of an option to flip the upvote/downvote colors to the Lemmy ordering (blue up/red down)? It’s always a little jarring going between the app and website and seeing all my votes are backwards
It’s caused by a user on another non-Lemmy, non-Mastodon fediverse platform. The lemmy web UI doesnt have a problem with them, but I think Sync doesn’t know how to deal with displaying a username from an unfamiliar platform
The description does say it contains interference modifications, most notably increasing text size. This seems more like a “(grand)parent mode” preset than just any sort of ruse to keep the data farms running
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
Tom Scott stuff something like that with Mentour Pilot, but he was purely passenger, no hundreds of hours in MFS

Yeah not all the way, but still a lot closer than many people think (also “Orgy on My Own”)
*clears throat in Weird Al fan that’s long gone off the deep end*
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
The three -verse terms I’ve heard in use are:
I knew this would be here
On the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.
Fanmade. There’s actually a lot of alternate versions of this one. This particular ending comes courtesy of Burkitt on xkcdsw
Welcome to sickbay, I love you.
Might also be a reference to Radcliffe playing Weird Al in his recent biopic WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story
The API updated with Lemmy 0.19.4. The old way has been marked for deletion and they’ve now followed through on that, but a few apps (presumably including Sync) haven’t updated to the new way yet
