They always have fun with the "attribution" of that incomplete explanation tag for new comics ๐Ÿ˜„

 

Title text:

You'd think the most expensive part would be the quark-gluon plasma chamber, but it's actually usually the tube to the top of the atmosphere to carry the cosmic rays down.

Base Android? That's ASOP. But the more common "Stock Android" for me is AOSP+GApps, which skins build on and ROMs deviate from (*generally)

the difference between community <-> user are less than youd think. the hurdles are nearly identical

As a matter of fact, if you look up a Lemmy community (or *bin magazine) on i.e. Mastodon, you'll see it's literally just a user that boosts all posts/comments posted to it

I don't ActivityPub has any concept of communities, since even microblog-focused groups (like Guppe) work that way

Edit: not really, see replies

By "new apps and great content," do you mean new apps and great content for me to enjoy and have genuinely good experiences with, or just new apps and great content for me to buy through you?

I don't know about this one, I think Randall would be a good president. I support his policies.

If you actually read it, the emojis are just a silly little C2 frontend, the actual attack vector has nothing to do with Discord

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

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)

 

Just wanted to shout-out that I started a community for The Amazing Digital Circus: !digital_circus@lemmy.zip

If you're not familiar with TADC, it's "a psychological dark comedy about cute cartoon characters who hate their lives and want to leave ๐ŸŽช๐Ÿ˜€" and you can add 1 to the 298 million views on the Pilot/Episode 1 here on YouTube, then join the community (wink wink nudge nudge)

I've got the community started with threads for each official release so far, and some discussion on Pomni's name. Also dripping in some series-adjacent fan content (songs) here and there, feel free to share stuff you find too!

(and while we're here, it's not affiliated with me, but !murderdrones@lemmy.world also looks like it could use some love with Episode 7 recently dropping (that's another series by Glitch Productions, the studio that's making TADC))

 

All Things Tom Scott is a new community dedicated to all things Tom Scott! (who would've guessed)

From the amazing places visited on his main channel, to the brain twisters of Lateral, from the adventures with friends on Tom Scott Plus, to the antics of all the Technical Difficulties crew, it all has a home here!
