Might be because it’s a redirect… or maybe Firefox shows emojis directly but not other punycode?

🌽.ws
Should transform to 🌽.ws when you click it. The
xn—is the punycode prefix.Here’s how Punycode works:
Unicode characters are first converted into a series of code points, which are represented as a series of numbers. The code points are then converted into a series of ASCII characters, using a specific algorithm. The ASCII characters are then prepended with “xn–”, which is a special prefix that indicates that the following characters are encoded in Punycode.
For example, the Unicode character 快 (which means fast in Chinese) is represented as the code point “U+5FEB”. This code point is then converted into the ASCII characters “2s5v”, which is prepended with the “xn–” prefix to give us “xn–2s5v”. This can then be used as part of a domain name.
When the domain name is displayed to a user, the Punycode is converted back into Unicode characters, so that the user sees the original characters rather than the encoded version. This allows users to use and read domain names in their native scripts, even if their computer or device doesn’t support those scripts.

Ff shows punycode. The article is quite old.

Rule of cool supersedes making sense. Yeah there’s a ton of nonsense, but you called it yourself, it’s fun. That’s all that matters.

I’m pretty sure ff shows punycode automatically. I’ve never had to touch it at least and I get punycode.

Bluesky’s model is built in a way that means it won’t ever be decentralized. There are plenty of articles about it.

I think one sentence makes it hit less hard. It’s more surprising with two sentences, and the “sly eyes” and the paragraph break help with it.

If you use kagi you can just permanently block Pinterest. And any other site you want. Or rank their listings lower.

Is that legal in your country? I’d recon not.

Lots of times it is a real question, especially if the other person cares about you at all.

You can pay to keep getting windows security updates and prolong the upgrade even further.

Holy shit I remember that article too!
- Comment on Chipotle offering a discount, while warning they may also inflate prices and delivery fees simultaneously 1 month ago:
Agreed. I grew up near the border and moved to Colorado and everyone here was obsessed with it when I first moved here. I could not understand it. It was the blandest, worst, not Mexican at all, food and there’s so much actual good Mexican food here that’s cheaper. Doesn’t even make sense.
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 1 month ago:
I told my wife about this thread and about how you said you pronounced it differently and she jokingly said “sen-CHWAR” in a funny voice. When I read your comment off to her she laughed incredibly hard. Her joke turned out to be spot on lol.
- Comment on Horror 1 month ago:
It would, but less than the density difference, since you’ve removed weight from the balloon thus gravity has less of a pull on the balloon. My wife (a PE in thermodynamics) was the one that verified that comment before I posted it, hence why I didn’t say it would increase lift by the difference in density.
- Comment on Horror 1 month ago:
You could use hydrogen, which is less dense than helium. Then if it catches on fire like the Hindenburg you’d already be in the water.
- Comment on 3's grip looks the most comfy 2 months ago:
anyone voting G2 hasn’t used one recently, or hasn’t used literally any other pens in that time. I think the G2 is the absolute worst one on the list. At least the bic doesn’t pretend to be able to write very well.
- Comment on 3's grip looks the most comfy 2 months ago:
yeah I don’t know how anyone can be voting for #5. it has to be the worst pen on the list. uncomfortable, dries up easily, doesn’t write consistently. #4 is amazing, but they do have one better but it’s not in the picture.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 2 months ago:
I also haven’t read the hundreds of pages, but it was a simple search away (either a search engine or literally just typing ‘tariff’ into the PDF). You said something that wasn’t true and didn’t bother to check if it was accurate before hand, and it was kind of the base “fact” of your entire post.
I do appreciate that you’re willing to come in here and actually discuss your viewpoint, which is why I tried to react quite neutrally. I would appreciate continuing the conversation because I do wonder if that revelation has changed your view that trump has no ties to P25.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 2 months ago:
P25 literally does have stuff on tariffs and it’s exactly what is happening right now.
It starts on page 765. …project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.p… Like literally the entire section from page 765-783 are just about tariffs and how high to increase them.
And an article discussing it seekingalpha.com/…/4769053-what-project-2025-tell…

- Comment on This whole "Sign in to prove you're not a bot" thing is pissing me off 2 months ago:
They literally do. Scammers, DDoSers, phishers, bot farms, etc all use VPNs to hide their locations. VPN IPs are commonly blacklisted by providers like cloudflare, meaning that if you use them you will be subject to anti bot security like captchas and time delays. Do you think that vpns just are magically not detectable?
