Finally, a use for my 1-bit bloom filter!

I mean in fairness to the first one, on most systems it is possible to turn wifi back on without turning off airplane mode (there is in-flight wifi after all)

Here’s the official birthday post: https://lemmy.zip/post/17065877

There’s also an overview of the first year at https://yearone.lemmy.zip/

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)

Well @zuck (and @mosseri) are from Threads and, like @Mastodon, it makes sense a lot of people would first choose to follow the top leaders. I imagine the majority of those are actually legitimate users, though the Threads bubble also very quickly popped, so who knows how many are still active

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”

And for the alt text:

• 99 (Red) Balloons (or 99 (Luft)ballons)
• 101 Dalmatians (movie soundtrack)
• 1000 Miles

With the caveats that (a) I strongly disagree with their tone/framing and (b) I’m aro/ace with absolutely no qualifications to stand behind on the matter, I honestly actually kinda agree with that idea

The way I see it, the existence of trans/nonbinary and gender non-conforming people create a bit of a gray area that I don’t think the contemporary definitions of straight/gay are equipped to handle

If you’re a man, you’re straight if you’re attracted to women. But what about a trans woman? Does it make a difference if she’s had bottom surgery? What about an enby who presents fem? What about a femboy who presents more fem than even some cis women you’ve seen, but still fully identifies as male? What about the opposite, a cis woman who presents strongly masc? At what point does still/not being attracted go from straight to bi? (Again, I’ve never experienced attraction to anyone regardless of anything, maybe there are actually very obvious answers to these questions, i genuinely don’t know. If you think you do know, please share! I’d love to learn more and gain a better perspective on this)

Assuming I’m right the answers to the above questions aren’t very clear, I think it’s realistic to say everyone is at least a little bi. But, it’s not realistic to say everyone should identify as bi. Really anything greater than, say, a 90:10% ratio is enough to still be considered straight/gay for all intents and purposes, at most maybe with a little asterisk. (Although tbh I think we could just do away with gay/straight entirely and just do relative attraction to masculine-/feminine-presentation, from neither to either, but that’s probably less realistic in practice)

Haven’t had any interactions with ST.W personally, but I feel tempted to share the testimony of someone who begs to differ (@Stamets@lemmy.world of !tenforward@lemmy.world): https://lemmy.zip/post/9940581

That’s been well-documented already

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

They were being sent to Springfield to upgrade and modernize the Tire Fire

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:

• Fediverse: All the (ActivityPub-based) federated services with at least some degree of interoperability between each other
• Threadiverse: Subset of fediverse focused on threads-based discussion, like link aggregation/forums-style (as opposed to i.e. microblogging)
• Lemmyverse: Subset of threadiverse specifically running Lemmy (as opposed to i.e. Kbin)
