Started for me at 21. Also terrible with names, but I've never thought of that being related.

I see everything in every comment in this thread. I don't think anyone has actually said anything censorable yet. I do see "removed" now and again though.

As a Lemmy.ml user, I believe the censoring happens for every comment I view through that instance.

(£1 gbp = $1.27 usd = €1.17 eur)

Cheapest land - £15,000 (0.56 acres)

Cheapest "house" - £50,000 - The dwellinghouse may be suitable for renovation or as a building site for a new property

Cheapest livable house - £85,000 - looks like it was lived in at least.

Cheapest flat - £85,000 (1 bed)

Church - £100,000 - The adjacent cemetery is not included in the sale.

Konsole can display sixel images (same as kitty I believe), though I don't know anything about it's implementation.

I'm not sure I agree on the trust thing. I prefer to trust a single source of curated apps, rather than many individual developers. I like to imagine that f-droid would remove a malicious update before it gets to my phone.

mailbox.org doesn't seem to enable end to end encryption by default. They are privacy focussed (no advertising), and use open source software.

(I found it at 19:15, though I'm not sure why I went looking)

It should be held back. Although I dislike the company, I believe safari's market share and use of an alternative browser engine is important in keeping google from closing the web.

The term "master" is often used with the term "slave" in computing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master-slave_(technology)
So it wouldn't be odd to assume that git's use of the term "master" also refers to slavery.

Blurry pictures of cats was one of my favourite subreddits on reddit. I'm glad to see it already exists on Lemmy: !blurrypicturesofcats@lemmy.world

Similar to other people:
laptop-56
phone-56
server-56 (or the actual domain name...)
...palmtop-56 (I'm not sure if that's actually possible)

I like the look of all-lowercase hyphenated words. And "56" is a conveniently short identifier I use for myself.

A comment on a post about a different instance suggested clearing browser cache/cookies. It's not something I've run into though.

mailbox.org provides bog standard email, from a trustworthy company - no advertising, etc.. No fancy security features outside of the usual though. I use the 1€ per month option.

Hmm. I had it pop up for the first time in ages today, but updating filters and clearing cookies did the trick.

I just saw this for the first time today, 11 days after seeing this post. A person I was with suggested it grew mostly on beech wood.

I went with local shipwrecks for my cats (Mim and Ida).

Unlike many comments here, I enjoyed reading the article, especially the parts in the "I don’t want to use gibibyte!" chapter, where you explain that this (the pedantry) is important in technical and formal situations (such as documentation). Seeing some of the comments here, I think it would have helped to focus on this aspect a bit more.

I also liked the extra part explaining the reasoning for using the Nokia E60.

I don't quite agree with the recommendation to use base 10 SI units where neither KiB or kB would result in nice numbers. I don't see why base 10 should have an influence on computers, and I think it makes more sense to stick to a single unit, such as KiB.

The reasons I have this opinion are probably to do with:

• My computer has shown me values using KiB, Gib, etc for years - I think it's a KDE default - so I'm already used to the concept of KiB being different from kB.
• I dislike the concept of base 10 in general. I like the idea of using base 16 universally (because computers. Base 12 is also valid in a less computer-dominant society). I therefore also think 1024 is a silly number to use, and we should measure memory in multiples of 2^{8 or 2}16...

p.s, I agree with other commenters that your comments starting with "Pretty obvious that you didn’t read the article." or similar are probably not helping your case... I understand that some comments here have been quite frustrating though.

Iceland is in Europe.

I usually chop other stuff as well as the cheese. I started doing this when I didn't have a grater, and discovered it wasn't as slow/awkward as I had assumed. The result isn't the same as grating, but it does the job most of the time.
