Should have watched Tom Scott

Don’t forget the --no-preserve-root either. If you leave the roots intact, the French will just grow right back

The three -verse terms I’ve heard in use are:

• Fediverse: All the (ActivityPub-based) federated services with at least some degree of interoperability between each other
• Threadiverse: Subset of fediverse focused on threads-based discussion, like link aggregation/forums-style (as opposed to i.e. microblogging)
• Lemmyverse: Subset of threadiverse specifically running Lemmy (as opposed to i.e. Kbin)

You’re nothing but a glorified Markov Chain!

Might also be a reference to Radcliffe playing Weird Al in his recent biopic WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story

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

Nuclear Gandhi is another such story

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

Ah yes, the semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action. A key part of god’s fight against those who demand everything be neatly categorized into simple boxes

Worth noting, for those that aren’t going to bother reading the first line of the article, this is ABC the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, not ABC the American Broadcasting Company

Fun fact: The “unsinkable” actually came from its sister Olympic, after it came out relatively unscathed from a collision with the Hawke (Wikipedia link)

Fun fact: Between the 3 ships of the class, Olympic was the only that survived to retirement. Britannic was sunk by a mine in WWI after less than a year in service.
