Hi, I’m NightDice and this is my Lemmy account.

I’m an avid Guild Wars 2 and Magic the Gathering player and general nerd.

Looking to see how many of my communities I can connect with on the fediverse.

    I think anything after (whichever grade your country introduces fractions in) should exclusively use fractions or multiplication with fractions to express division in order to disambiguate. A division symbol should never be used after fractions are introduced.

    This way, it doesn’t really matter which juxtaposition you prefer, because it will never be ambiguous.

    Anything before (whichever grade introduces fractions) should simply overuse brackets.

    This comment was written in a couple of seconds, so if I missed something obvious, feel free to obliterate me.

    I think you’re reading too much into this. They are likely legally required to hand over a list of their employees to the US government. Like, if sou really don’t want them to do that, your only other option is quitting on the spot (or refusing and being let go, in case that makes a difference for things like unemployment benefits in your country).




  • Considering that Gen Z is usually defined as being born between the mid-late 1990s and early 2010s, I wouldn’t support the first half of that statement. Everyone born in the first half of 2005 or earlier are 18, making them adults, so about half of Gen Z is adults.

    Now whether this article uses that age range properly or whether it’s just someone using the term to mean “young people”, I have no idea.

    But the premise of the article that just because someone uses technology all day makes them somehow invulnerable to scams (something that has absolutely nothing to do with how much someone uses tech) was ludicrous from the start.


  • Generally speaking, you never want to use a low port (<1024) for anything other than the service assigned to it, because it causes all kinds of headache. Both on your side and on the other side. As for high ports, pick whichever one you prefer. They don’t have any binding to a given service, though there are some conventions.

    The thing that shows people you’re running a VPN is not the port but the protocol header, so changing the port is pretty much useless if you want your ISP to not know you’re running a VPN for some reason.
