And indeed 1F414 is a lower (hexadecimal) number than 1F95A, so in the absence of other criteria I'm sure in most systems it would sort first.

They might not know the name for the extension of alphabetical order to all characters in Unicode (and neither do I) but it's logical to associate it with alphabetical since it's similar in concept.

I really didn't want to let it win.

I strongly feel that going private was counter-productive in the protest anyway. To the normal users, all they saw was a homepage of subs that were Not protesting.

r/bestof did it right: Limit the sub to one 'megapost' per day, every day. And that post mentioned Reddit alternatives.

I also had that experience with emacs, which has a built in help system. I couldn't find a topic on 'exit' or 'quit' and refused to just search online.

Took me half an hour.

My understanding was that in a gravitationally bound system like that, the orbits would be slightly larger (or slower for the same distance) based on the rate of expansion and the distance, but not grow any unless the rate of expansion increases. Like maybe the earth is a few angstroms farther from the sun than in a not expanding universe, but that number doesn't change as long as the expansion keeps going the same. Same for galaxies and clusters.

Sadly, it is. (But not for Fallout specifically.)

Archie McPhee is cheating. They have ketchup hard candies among other incredible atrocities.

Sadly it looks like they no longer have the Nihilist 'mints' that taste like nothing.

I love this quote and think it's hilarious that it was said in response to Data moping about losing a video game.

Last night when I saw this post I happened to support it at a perfect round number.

1000016506

To have a chance of being made into a real set, it needs a little under 5 times that number of supporters - specifically this weird composite number 2^4 * 5^4.

Good luck with this particular episode...

My mom was fond of "Not the brightest egg in the drawer".

 

The links inside the linked post are relative links, such as xkcd which is a link to /c/xkcd@lemmy.world

Boost does not open them when tapped, flashing an error instead.

There are unfortunately some subreddits which are still the best place to find timely info about certain topics - for example video game subs run by the developers of the game. Lemmit is a way to subscribe to those while not giving Reddit any more "engagement" or ad views.

The bot that runs Lemmit only posts on its own instance, so users like me only see it when we subscribe explicitly (or the All view I guess, but that's a mixed bag already. Edit: and each user could choose to ban it if they want)
