This post reads like someone took a bunch of Adderall and went through Wikipedia for hours but didn't actually understand anything they read. Drink some water and get some sleep, bud.

I'll save you a click. The story has pretty much nothing to do with the "coding whiz", just a boring recollection of a guy's occasional work on a ship. The only reference to the coding whiz's inappropriate insult was

at work drinks he loudly asked the boss if he was still having an affair with a colleague – in front of the entire office and the boss's wife, who had come in for the occasion.

I don't speak French natively but I happen to know their version of lol is "mdr", short for mort de rire (dying of laughter)

Interesting. I have always used their web app (even on mobile, i just use their pwa instead of the native app since the native app is missing obvious features), and I haven't had any issues, but I can definitely understand the frustration if you want to use anything else. OP, keep that in mind if you're thinking about Proton!

Just throwing in my two cents since I just went through this same ordeal: I use Proton, but be aware that you can only use a custom address if you pay for the premium plan which is not crazy cheap. I've been pretty happy with their premium plan so far, which includes premium features for mail, calendar, cloud drive, VPN, and password manager, but if I ever decide that I don't want to keep paying for it, I can always transfer my custom domain to a different provider without needing to update my email.

As for the domain, I went with namecheap. I also have a pretty common name, so the good domains were taken and I had to settle for firstname@lastname.in but I think it's still pretty easy to remember.

It's been one of my favorite games since I first played it ~25 years ago, so it makes me so happy to hear that it (mostly) holds up. I have my opinions about Tooie (both good and bad), but I'll let you form your own opinions about it. Looking forward to hearing what you think!

Also, it's too bad they never made a third game. But if they did I can only imagine they would have done something crazy like remove the platforming and added in some vehicle building mechanic. Thank goodness that never happened!

It's Nintendo, so it will probably be called the New Switch U or something

 

I was browsing all communities on Liftoff, and I came across one that I wanted to subscribe to: !sbubby@lemmy.world When I tapped Subscribe, I got an error that the thread[sic] was retrieved from lemmy.world, but I was signed in to lemmy.ml. First of all I don't know why that would be an issue (I've subscribed to other lemmy.world communities before). But I just started using Liftoff so I thought it might have been a bug and I tried to do it from Jerboa. But, !sbubby@lemmy.world doesn't show up in the search. Also, I tried in a browser to navigate to https://lemmy.ml/c/sbubby@lemmy.world and I got the error in the title of this post (couldnt_find_community). Navigating to a different lemmy.world community using the same method works fine, but sbubby does not. What's going on?
