For the optical media side of things, the name was coined by Phillips while they were consorting with Sony to develop the standard and named it the “Compact Disc” to compliment their already existing “Compact Cassette” product. They developed an official logo for the format which spelled it “disc.” That’s been with us ever since.

Didn’t LaserDisc predate Compact Discs?

Yeah, Lemmy doesn’t block you from accessing it via a VPN, for one.

Every sign, every rule, every law has a story as to why it is necessary.

I well over legal age to drink before he was even born and I’m a millennial. Man, when did we get old???

Also, he’s awesome. Really excited to see him in the final. What a birthday present that would be, eh?

I thought this was Mario in the thumbnail, lol.

It’s not even for during game time, it’s during warmups. It affects nothing allowing whatever tape (or jerseys) they want.

Whenever I really have to pee I say “why did I drink all that crab juice!” out loud and no one knows what the hell I’m talking about.

Exactly. This is about protecting themselves from legal liability, not anything else. As the guy who hosts it is just a regular guy, not a corporation with limited liability/tons of startup dollarbucks, I don’t begrudge him/them at all.

I want a tool that can do the same thing for whole communities. Seems like there might be a day where communities would like to migrate for one reason or another. While you could simply stand up a new community on the new instance and then attempt to get everyone to move over, that’s bound to fail if the community is large enough. It would be cool if subscribership would also be able to be moved in the back-end.

I look back and my parents let me read this in high school without comment…like wtf mom and dad.

Is that where Ted’s ego came from in HIMYM? I thought it was just Ted, but maybe all architects are horrible?

Yeah, people just want a “generic” place because they generally don’t want to be pidgeon holed. I have nice and inoffensive lemmy.world and lemmy.today accounts because of this. I’m basically a vanilla NPC in my life and “sh.itjust.works” is simply too spicy!

Probably because lemmy.world is down again.

Wait for lemmy.world to be back up and try again. If you can’t login on the web, the tool won’t be able to login either.
