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)

There’s also the term ritardando in music for gradually slowing down, but at least that’s typically abbreviated to “rit.”
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
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!
Hey wait a minute, this isn’t !theowlhouse@lemmy.world!
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
Easier to just round up lol
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
And then you get a call from a Swedish Wikipedia editor and they say:
February 30 was a day that happened in Sweden, 1712.[4] This occurred because, instead of changing from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar by omitting a block of consecutive days, as had been done in other countries, the Swedish Empire planned to change gradually by omitting all leap days from 1700 to 1740, inclusive. Although the leap day was omitted in February 1700, the Great Northern War began later that year, diverting the attention of the Swedes from their calendar so that they did not omit leap days on the next two occasions; 1704 and 1708 remained leap years.[5]
To avoid confusion and further mistakes, the Julian calendar was restored in 1712 by adding an extra leap day, thus giving that year the only known actual use of February 30 in a calendar. That day corresponded to February 29 in the Julian calendar and to March 11 in the Gregorian calendar.[5][6] The Swedish conversion to the Gregorian calendar was finally accomplished in 1753, when February 17 was followed by March 1.[5]

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 !tenfoward@lemmy.world): https://lemmy.zip/post/9940581
There’s always a relevant xkcd:
(actually quite a few in this case…)
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
Relevant xkcd (which tbh is also a high risk site for this kinda stuff)
Only 6,000 blinks? That’s nothing but a watered-down scam-in-a-bottle preying on the naïve drivers trying to buy blinker fluid for their very first time. It has to be good for AT LEAST 10,000 blinks before I’d even consider putting in my car
There’s a new protocol for smart home devices called Matter, that let’s them work across ecosystems (so for example smart lights set up with Google Home could be controlled through Apple HomeKit via Matter). Thread is part of how Matter devices communicate with each other (instead of e.g. WiFi or Bluetooth). The new iPhones can directly use Thread instead of needing another devices to act as a bridge to “translate” the commands
A fairly niche addition, but definitely not useless. And a big plus for those into smart home stuff
Finally, a use for my 1-bit bloom filter!
