Yeah not all the way, but still a lot closer than many people think (also “Orgy on My Own”)

*clears throat in Weird Al fan that’s long gone off the deep end*

And for commercially released stuff, there’s also One More Minute with the line “Now I’m stranded all alone in the gas station of love, and I have to use the self-service pumps!” and the entirety of Wanna B Ur Lovr is just innuendo after innuendo

The three -verse terms I’ve heard in use are:

• Fediverse: All the (ActivityPub-based) federated services with at least some degree of interoperability between each other
• Threadiverse: Subset of fediverse focused on threads-based discussion, like link aggregation/forums-style (as opposed to i.e. microblogging)
• Lemmyverse: Subset of threadiverse specifically running Lemmy (as opposed to i.e. Kbin)

Yup, @TechConnectify@mas.to

I knew this would be here

Fanmade. There’s actually a lot of alternate versions of this one. This particular ending comes courtesy of Burkitt on xkcdsw

Welcome to sickbay, I love you.

You’re nothing but a glorified Markov Chain!

Might also be a reference to Radcliffe playing Weird Al in his recent biopic WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story

Only the west coast is supported in the US so far. Iirc it’s just CA, OR, and WA, or something like that

Relevant xkcd (which tbh is also a high risk site for this kinda stuff)

Only 6,000 blinks? That’s nothing but a watered-down scam-in-a-bottle preying on the naïve drivers trying to buy blinker fluid for their very first time. It has to be good for AT LEAST 10,000 blinks before I’d even consider putting in my car

old.lemmy.zip as well

There’s a new protocol for smart home devices called Matter, that let’s them work across ecosystems (so for example smart lights set up with Google Home could be controlled through Apple HomeKit via Matter). Thread is part of how Matter devices communicate with each other (instead of e.g. WiFi or Bluetooth). The new iPhones can directly use Thread instead of needing another devices to act as a bridge to “translate” the commands

A fairly niche addition, but definitely not useless. And a big plus for those into smart home stuff

Ah yes, the semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action. A key part of god’s fight against those who demand everything be neatly categorized into simple boxes

Sync for Lemmy used to be Sync for Reddit. The spoiler syntax hasn’t been fully updated yet (Lemmy spoilers are hidden, but the spoiler button in the editor is still set to Reddit syntax)

On Lemmy, spoilers are written as

“Weird Al” Yankovic - All About The Pentiums

Tldr this isn’t really anything new for Mastodon. If you link to a website in your profile, you could verify you own that website (or are a representative of it, ie writer for news or a blog) by having that site link back to your profile with a special rel="me" attribute. The new thing is that Threads now also supports these links, so linking your Threads account on your Mastodon account can show you have verified that you own that Threads account. This also works with any other site that supports rel=me links for verification.

I agree with all y’all that Threads is EEE, but I think this particular feature is a really good thing and I’d love to see more sites implement this as a really simple way to cross-verify (ownership of) accounts
