  • wouldn’t have even noticed if you hadn’t pointed it out.

    Yes and I think that would’ve been a good way to roll the change. There will be people who dislike the change or the concept (me included). Roll the change quietly or posting about it on project relevant communities. Then on the site displaying the banner have a note about the project leading to further reading about the project, such as posting similar to this.

    This way there would be information for those interested, not only about the project, but the change that had occured too. And ideological opponists would be blissfully ignorant about the whole matter.

    But this is just one way to do it. Any way works. Have a good day. 👍

    Edit: unaunerisming the post






  • While I agree, I’d like to add that it’s not hard to recognize and remember the very active and/or notable posters.

    Actually for the fun of it, I’ll name a few on top of my head:

    QuentinCallaghan: Sopuli founder and avid commenter.

    Ategon: Hot in the tech subs, seems like a really nice fella.

    Picard Maneuver: Memelord and legend

    Flying Squid: Meme master and commenter

    Dessalines: Dev for Lemmy, Jerboa (and the keyboard I use, thanks this is great).

    Ruut: Lemmyworld founder.

    And some more whose username I can’t recall at the moment.

    Also it’d be fun if you commnted some more. :D






  • I would definitely argue that it is at least technically correct.

    Your example points to a vague resemblance in how it sounds spoken, which has barely nothing to do with the meaning. This much ought to be obvious.

    My thought points to an unlikely lesson found in both phrases. That is, both remind to make the most out of life, because inevitable death. As others have pointed out, the connotations just have been formed such that YOLO ends up generally achieving that with recklessness and “Memento Mori” generally with caution and healthy respect for mortality.

    However, that does mean that the same lesson is still found in them, which indeed makes them mean pretty much the same thing. Note that I don’t claim them to be synonymous, like a certain comment claims, or interchangeable, which they aren’t.

    TL;DR: Your example relies on how it sounds and it is indeed superficial. In my thought the similarity indeed exist in the language and is technically correct.




  • Thanks for the comment!

    I explain poorly.

    The Tor Browser has this setting to redirect clearweb urls to onion urls.

    When used in the Tor browser, I can access reddit with it’s clearweb site (.com) and (with the “prioritize Tor sites” turned on) the url showing it as onion site (.onion).

    Hope I understand it right and with the setting turned on, tor indeed “magically makes clear web site to an onion site”.

    Not Tor-expert, hope I get this right. :)

    ETA: clarify
