I'm 40 and our teacher explained why cursive was a thing in elementary school. I figured we were learning it so we could sign our name.

Take computers out of the picture. How long have we been using ballpoint pens? Cursive was obsolete even before computers took over how we write.

Please let me know if there is a better community to post to. This one seems like a good place to start.

I have a very short character ICU domain registered and it was working for months. Without changes to DNS or anything else, it suddenly stopped working. I found out that no DNS records were resolved anymore. It is not that they are invalid. They are non-existant on any DNS servers. According to dnschecker.org's DNS lookup for ALL records, there no records at all. Same with using dig, which just shows an A record with no value.

I use my own nameservers and all of my other domains work fine. I have not changed anything on my end either. Still, I switched to Namecheap's default name servers to see if that would resolve the issue. No change.

I contacted Namecheap few about a month ago. They opened a ticket for me with a High priority. They just a couple times now, saying they are still monitoring the issue but don't have an answer yet.

Is anyone else experiencing something similar? Any ideas what may be going on?

Jokes on them. I was already listening to baby shark on loop.

And he will do that for you at the low price of only $1. Better do it now before the price goes up.

That is sad to hear. I live in an area where almost no one wore masks. Even at the hight of the pandemic. Our local pharmacies got a bunch of N95s for free to give away free. There was supposed to be a limit but since no one was using them they would give me a lot of extra. I'm guessing they still have boxes stacked up somewhere.

Its also sad that this could have probably been prevented by using a wet saw with water hooked up. Anyone who has cut stone once without a wet saw walks away knowing they shouldn't have been breathing that.

I haven't been on a plane in about 10 years. That moment in this space is a great example of a liminal space. Your post brought me right to that feeling of being on the plane but not being on the plane.

For online and offline GPS I love OSMAnd+ since it has AndroidAuto support and tons of other features.

Good thing someone is holding the ladder.

I have always liked EFF's Surveillance Self-Defense. Hopefully they are keeping them current.

Yes it is. Look at the eyes on the ducks. Also the guy's hands and nose. Dead giveaways.

Has anyone found a good way to include function keys (i.e. F1 - F12) in to their layout on the Moonlander or Ergox EZ?

I have tried adding double tap to the numbers row but find myself accidentally double tapping while typing (e.g. 1223). I tried tap and hold but found that it would often end up detecting a held key (i.e alt+F4 F4 F4).

I am looking through Moonlander layouts in Oryx but am not finding any good ones. It looks like many don't even include the function keys.

Edit: I'm looking for a good way to do Ctrl+Alt+F[num] or Alt+F[num]. Without having to switch layers... if there is even a good way.

The name kbin is derived from sbin in Linux (source is a comment by @ernest). Is the logo at all related to sbin? It kind of looks like a forward slash.

I tried searching but turned up nothing. Sorry if this has been answered already.

I assume this is a place to ask about things when you're out of the loop. People kept saying Lemmy is "beans". What is that all about?

I don't think many people understand that if they use Lemmy or kbin, they are posting to the fediverse. There are other platforms and will be more to come. Referring to a post on "Lemmy" or "kbin" is like saying you saw a post on your Windows or Mac computer.

We should be referring to it as...

  • I saw it on the fediverse.
  • Hey fediverse users ...
  • A thread on the fediverse...

New terms may emerge but referring to the platform seems weird, almost ignorant.

edit: A better example is email. You wouldn't assume everyone is on Hotmail because that is the email provider you use. You say I'm sendingan eamail, not I'm sending a Hotmail.

I must suck at searching. What is the "Boost" feature in kbin?

McDonald's has just released a brand new Game Boy Color game that plays on actual hardware in 2023. Yes, you read that correctly.
