I knew about the “Thour” meme, but still didn’t get why the directory turned compressed. My guess is that by licking the lemon, the directory folds in on itself, thus becoming compressed.

… I am 100% certain that if they switched to being individually wrapped tomorrow, a complaint about excessive packaging would be one of the top posts here.

You’re undeniably right. The best situation would be to not have any wrapping at all… but with the crumb situation, that’d be another top post here :/

Looks cool and I’m glad something new has arrived after nitter.

A few things, however:

1. It doesn’t look like I can view comments on tweets; I can only view the tweet. (Firefox mobile if that matters)
2. It’s pretty slow. It’s not a big problem, but it is very noticeable.
3. Somewhat irrelevant, but why is it called TWStalker? It’s a… bit of a weird name. ‘Stalker’ makes me feel like I’m doing something illegal even though I definitely am not.

See Wendover Productions’ most recent video, “The Increasing Reality of War in Space” (from around 7:54); they talk about SpaceX launching unknown satellites and not reporting it either.

Edit: nvm I’m an idiot, I just got the joke.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning

In typography, kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. Kerning adjusts the space between individual letterforms while tracking (letter-spacing) adjusts spacing uniformly over a range of characters.

Will you (the community) be setting your username to your public username (a username you use everywhere) or something that’s different from your public username?

Idk why, but signal feels more… personal(?) and I’d hate for general people to stumble across my signal account just by guessing whether my signal username is my public username.

I’d be fine if they got my Discord account, mastodon account, Lemmy account (they’re all different usernames anyway) because they’re public-ish accounts. Signal feels less public and I’d want to go with a username that only I can send to people I know.

It looks like there will be a message requests area and it looks like usernames can also be changed (should a username ever be doxxed).

I’m still on the fence.

See also: Nominative Determinism. If I remember correctly, there was a subreddit about this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_determinism

Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names. The term was first used in the magazine New Scientist in 1994, after the magazine’s humorous “Feedback” column noted several studies carried out by researchers with remarkably fitting surnames. These included a book on polar explorations by Daniel Snowman and an article on urology by researchers named Splatt and Weedon. These and other examples led to light-hearted speculation that some sort of psychological effect was at work.

Worth pointing out that openboard doesn’t support gesture typing. The fork I believe @tubbadu@lemmy.kde.social is talking about is:

I use this one.

Huge +1 for BobbyBroccoli. Most entertaining & gripping documentaries I’ve watched in a long time. The two part Cloning documentary (Part 1, Part 2) was absolutely spectacular.

Lemmino is great as well.

I’ve been using Hugo since 2017. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
