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)

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

It looks like the bricks on the top front of the building and the sign are photoshopped in

If you zoom in, those bricks are much bigger than the bricks around the garage doors and on the side, and the transition is rounded and happens in the middle of bricks. Whoever made this must not have masked out the pole (assume that’s also legit) because the brick texture and the bottom of the sign go over it

In that bog there was an idiot

Rare idiot, a picklin’ idiot

Idiot in the bog

And the bog down in the valley, oh!

So it’s the ancient Roman blacksmith’s version of Benchy. Got it

Hey wait a minute, this isn’t !theowlhouse@lemmy.world!

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)

🤤 Anyone else feeling oddly ready to eat all of a sudden?

It’s just your OpenStreetMap username, doesn’t have to a real name. You can set “your name” to be some anonymous gibberish if you’d like

You actually can’t. I think you should be able to, but currently you can’t. You can post from Masto to Lemmy by tagging the Lemmy community in the top level post, but tagging in a reply does nothing

In fact actually you can’t even really crosspost from Lemmy to Lemmy. Posts that link to the same thing are lists as cross posts, but aren’t actually directly related. Text-only posts can’t be recognized as crossposts at all

Wikipedia hasn’t been updated, confirmed definitely not dead

Easier to just round up lol

I think someone did make a proxy or something to interact with fedi through email, so, technically, yes, you can fediverse with your gmails

Well @zuck (and @mosseri) are from Threads and, like @Mastodon, it makes sense a lot of people would first choose to follow the top leaders. I imagine the majority of those are actually legitimate users, though the Threads bubble also very quickly popped, so who knows how many are still active

Good quotes, bad quotes, and gay luigis (as far as the eye can see)

This feels like a Henry Stickman option

The C programming language also descends from the B programming language (though B’s lineage unfortunately goes to BCPL, not A)

Yeah my first thought on that was I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles), but I decided to look up “1000 Miles” just to be safe and said “oh yeah”

And for the alt text:

• 99 (Red) Balloons (or 99 (Luft)ballons)
• 101 Dalmatians (movie soundtrack)
• 1000 Miles
