It’s called a tasting and it’s classy!

Replying to this just so people are less likely to accidentally scroll past.

Completely agree, of course. I do miss Web 1.0, when you had to go to IRC, usenet, etc, for the “social” part.

I think this is pretty common. If your local newspaper has a hyphen in it, it probably used to be two papers.

Help me out here… I don’t know this one.

If you do want to get into it, I suggest starting with Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.

Well, I started watching Star Trek TOS so I would get more of the memes on tenforward@lemmy.world 😅.

I do like to browse by all instead of subscribed, which is a good way to discover more communities. Of course, I do have to block a lot of communities to avoid stuff I’m not interested in… which is basically just stuff in languages I don’t understand and furries (speaking of niche communities, plenty of those). But I even enjoy seeing local posts from places in another country.

Ya, I think the key is not to focus on niche communities, but more generic communities. e.g., someone mentioned a dead Morrowind community, but it’s probably better to invest in a more generic gaming or maybe even pcgaming community.

Lemmy just isn’t that big and can’t support many niche communities.

That being said, I definitely see some niche communities regularly popup in my feed, so there are some active ones!

The definition of planet is completely subjective, whereas the definition of mushroom is based on science and evolution.

But not peanuts, which are legumes.

Voldemort is Señor Tenebroso.

It would be pretty useless if cd was a child process that changed its own directory, only to return to bash and be back where you started.

O.K.

The cocktail.

Old Fashioned

You know what never gets old? Pumpkin spiced lattes.

You know what does get old? Jokes about pumpkin spiced lattes.

Before seeing your comment and searching myself, I wondered if it was California as well, since it was thought that California was an Island for some time.

And don’t forget about namespaces. Look at formats like HAL and ODATA that try to add HATEOAS onto JSON.

Why? JSON hasn’t given us anything XML hasn’t, except maybe a bit of terseness.

I do agree SOAP is a bit over engineered, though, but that’s not the fault of XML.

We were using XML for that before JSON.
