Actually, it’s spelled curb in the US

Maybe they’re double-sided PDFs? /s

As well as the “U” in USB, interpreted rather generally

But, like, to where would they be deported? That typically implies sending them back to their place of origin, but in this case they’re almost always from the US. Perhaps exile would be a better term to use.

My proposal: exile them to Texas (let’s call it a “Texile”), and then let Texas have that independence they seem to so strongly desire.

I think it’s to draw a distinction from the similar “milliard”, which means “billion” in British English but has fallen out of fashion.

I do too. To be clear, I did NOT mean that we could go without it today. What I meant was that if we didn’t have it to start with, things would’ve likely still developed albeit much more slowly.

I’ll also preface this by saying I definitely slightly misread everything before and so my reply was kinda crappy

It wouldn’t necessarily collapse (it wasn’t exactly suffering before FOSS stuff “hit the shelves”, so to speak) but the gatekeeping that comes with it would certainly cause a tremendous amount of stagnation

Identity. “A is literally B” instead of “A equals B”. This is necessary here in JS because if A is the string “-1” and B is the integer -1, JS evaluates A==B as true because reasons

There are mistakes in the message, so no

Counterargument: it ruined https://youtu.be/Vx5prDjKAcw and that’s not cool.

To be fair, I’m certain they have a way to, like, exclude internal conversations from that. They’d be foolish not to have a system to disable collection on some accounts/calls

Zenni is pretty good. My current pair is from Firmoo and is also pretty good. Goggles4u has also worked fine for me, but they took ages to ship.

:f

I’ve unironically been using this font ever since I found it a year or two ago. I find it makes it so much easier to read everything. I’ve even suggested it to others. It’s actually a decent font.

DDOS is a pretty brute-force attack, so it isn’t typically relying on a vulnerability per se. Pretty much the only way to mitigate it is to have large enough infrastructure that you can detect and filter out its gobs of spammy traffic, which no Lemmy instances (at least at the moment) can really practically have. They could potentially use a service like CloudFlare, which does have that infrastructure in place, but that can be expensive. I’d imagine CloudFlare (or a competitor) is probably the best solution they can go with, at least in the short-term.
