Seriously, it feels like 1999 internet. And I’m loving it!

56K modem handshake sound intensifies

CBOE will create options for it pretty soon after IPO, probably that week or the next. You’ll definitely be able to buy puts on it before you’ll be allowed to short sell it.

They really don’t, though. Inclusion/exclusion operators work most of the time, but it’ll still return results with explicitly-excluded keywords. It also fucks up results by returning entries with similar words to your query, even when you double-quote a part of the search term. Advanced queries that use booleans and logical AND/OR don’t work at all anymore, that functionality has been completely removed. It returns what it thinks you want, not what you actually want, even when explicitly crafting a query to be as specific as possible.

I use Kagi for search now and it’s 1000x better, especially when researching technical issues; it’s like when Google actually respected your search terms and query as a whole.

It has become copypasta, but it is pretty much a direct quote of something Stallman said.

God I love the Cisco Call Manager default hold music and I don’t know why. I don’t mind holding at all when it’s this.

The tipping point for me was getting a sitewide ban for commenting “It’s always OK to punch a Nazi.”

This is the first lesson you have to learn as a Linux enthusiast, NEVER run commands you don’t know from the internet

“Nah, just curl this random web address and pipe it over to a sudo bash shell, everything will be fine!”

I hate how this is becoming the official install method for more and more shit. It’s like dude, really? You may as well stick your dick in a garbage disposal, both of those actions are equally safe.

You’re dreaming if you think I’m not going to wget it and read it to see what it does first.

I was on reddit before the digg exodus

Man, I remember when that shitshow happened. It was like reddit’s version of Eternal September.

D. All of the above

You know, it’s surprisingly vague even in the official documentation.

You just described literally all of Lemmy’s documentation.

I had to read the source code for Lemmy to find out what API endpoint to hit, how it worked, and what to expect on return for a script that I was writing. You need to do that for some documented API endpoints as well. Calling it “vague” is a nice way to put it.

Exactly. Freedom of speech != Freedom from social consequences

and password too long.

I haven’t had a chance to look at the Lemmy code, but is it really limiting password length? There’s almost no valid reason to do this since it’s just going to get hashed, and all the hash lengths are going to be the same regardless of the input string.

It appears you were successful.
