It’s not an X, it’s a +. I will die on this hill.

If you complain, they say “idk man, every time I see the sign it’s correct”
- Comment on Is there any fundamental difference between an instance and a formal website ? 1 week ago:
I really can’t explain more than I already have. If you want to learn more, Wikipedia is a great resource for this. The article I linked and other articles linked within it would be the place to start.
- Comment on Is there any fundamental difference between an instance and a formal website ? 1 week ago:
So just a website?
Websites of all types are hosted by servers. These servers can run any kind of software they want in order to serve web pages to users. There are countless different options for server software (see just some of the options on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/…/Comparison_of_web_server_softw…), and they can run on different operating systems (Windows, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, macos, …). Two servers can serve very similar or even identical websites but run completely different software, and similarly, two servers can use the same software but serve totally different websites.
Basically it’s a free-for-all.

Hard to answer without some context. Got any examples for “formal website”?
In the fediverse an “instance” is any server which is running the software in question. For example, fosstodon is an instance of Mastodon. mastodon.social is also an instance of Mastodon.
- Comment on Interesting question I really hadn't thought about 1 week ago:
I know they do it sometimes in media but I don’t know - nor do I want to know - if it’s common at all in real life.
- Comment on Game trailers that alternate between short game scenes and text scenes 2 weeks ago:
If it’s a visual novel or heavily menu- or dialog-based, there really isn’t anything more to show usually.
- Comment on Tulsi Gabbard Reused the Same Weak Password on Multiple Accounts for Years 3 weeks ago:
Having used KeePass for a few years, syncing via a self-hosted SFTP server, I can’t recommend it for most people.
- It’s too technical, especially if you want sync, but even if you don’t
- Apps on different platforms don’t quite agree with each other in all ways, making syncing a bit annoying (particularly: how to associate a login with multiple URLs)
- It can be hard to pick which app to use on each platform, other than Windows, because there’s no official/canonical best option (Mono has lots of drawbacks)
I’ve switched to Bitwarden and I’m sticking with it.
- Comment on Do you know the answer? 3 weeks ago:
Huh. I think it was just the web version of Lemmy. Weird choice by the Lemmy devs.
- Comment on Do you know the answer? 3 weeks ago:
Correct - even if you include the (necessary) option of making up your own answer. If you pick a percentage at random, you have a 0% chance of picking 0%.

You had to show off, huh
- Comment on What happened to cylindrical plugs? 2 months ago:
Why does the majority of your post read like you don’t know these exist? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_power_connector
They’re fine, but as you mentioned in the first paragraph, lack of a standard is their main drawback. You could find two power supplies with the exact same connector but different voltage and polarity.

How does that work? Colored e-ink?
- Comment on Why do games like Minecraft require a launcher? 4 months ago:
you kid, but there’s no shortage of steam games where steam (a launcher) updates the game’s launcher

The word you’re thinking of is ‘user’.
- Comment on Meteorology Gatekeeping 6 months ago:
I assume this is two statements: one without the parentheses, and one where each parenthesized word replaces the word before it. This is a compact, but borderline unreadable way to write two statements with the same structure. I hate it.

Sure, but what about Trick IMPLIES Treat?

Why is the text so weird… Is this AI generated? It’s gotta be.
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 7 months ago:
There are exceptions to every rule. Sometimes it ends up being “between five and 15” which is psychotic.

Sooner or later they’re going to become meander scars or oxbow lakes, when the river reconnects with itself.

Thanks, Wikipedia.

Could have been just an obvious spambot with no relevance, but that’s just a guess.

It looks like a super genetic stock image, and I always assumed that’s what it is.

I am beginning to think this community is not for me, as I need every other joke explained. But I haven’t given up yet… What is the joke here?

Reality is so unoriginal
- Comment on Amino acids 8 months ago:
I didn’t sit through any of those and I don’t get the joke. Do I upvote anyway, trusting that it’s funny? Or just based on the conversation below? Such a dilemma…
