nah, i agree with you. win explorer with qttabbar, tortoisegit, and some tweaks from winaerotweaker

dolphin is pretty good though and it has some features that explorer doesn't, like a terminal pane

It doesn't seem like the QCM6490 and Fairphone 5 are missing any major features.

it seems odd, to me, that a phone marketed towards sustainability geeks would launch without a headphone jack

it's such a shame too, as it would probably be my next phone otherwise

to add to this, some things to know:

  1. any syntax can be escaped by prepending it with a backslash (\). this won't appear in the rendered message
  2. you can also do a line break without a paragraph break by ending the line with a backslash
  3. you don't have to do the numbers. start each line of a numbered list with 1., and the numbers will be generated automatically
  4. lemmy also supports footnotes[^1] - documentation here, although the "longnote" syntax doesn't work
  5. you can view the source of any comment/post by pressing the "more" button, then the button that looks like a page. thus you can see how somebody achieved any markup (only available when logged in, for some reason)
  6. most of these are broken on at least some clients, particularly spoiler and footnotes

[^1]: like this!

personally i think that's not a great answer

So, there is a mixed bag of thought on this that I read up on before creating the domain, but tl;dr - .zip is a valid TLD and will be recognised by all browsers etc as such. There are lots of new TLDs being created and they’ll be in the same boat.

yes, it is. .scr is also a valid executable that windows pcs will run, but i wouldn't go about distributing programmes as such

.zip domains also come with higher levels of mandatory security and require an SSL certificate to display a webpage, which is another layer of security.

almost all websites do that now, but man-in-the-middle attacks aren't really the issue with .zip domains

On the flip side, yes someone will probably try to fake a zip file with it and send the link around, but (and people are free to disagree with me here!) this is basic Internet security and you shouldn’t be clicking links to places you weren’t expecting.

this issue isn't clicking links to places you weren't expecting, but clicking a link to a place you were expecting. if i send you an email saying "i sent you the invoice.zip you asked me to"; then you'd be expecting that link to open the invoice zip file

especially on lemmy, as links often follow the format "https:⧸⧸domain.com⧸c⧸topic@differentdomain.com"

Federation won’t be affected by anything and we’d need to be manually defederated like normal.

this is true (although anyone that has ||.zip^ blocked won't see images hosted on lemmy.zip)

People/companies may decide to block .zip domains but that is a knee-jerk reaction.

i think it's a necessary reaction. i've blocked .zip on both my parents' computers (and my own, but i at least know how to disable it for specific sites). now admittedly they're unlikely to be using lemmy^[although i have just set up a lemmy acct. for someone a similar age, and only slightly more tech-savvy], but you get the picture

Bad actors will exist (and have existed before)

yes. but giving them more attack vectors isn't the best idea

and with the way TLDs are heading before long you’ll probably be able to generate anything as a TLD, after all they’re just name friendly pointers to an IP address.

this may be true, but A) we're not there yet, and B) that doesn't mean it's a good thing (or relevant)

In summary, it’s not caused us any issues yet, I dont forsee it causing us any issues, but if it did, then we’ll cross that bridge when we get there!

this is not the best attitude, as (as @quortez says), lemmy doesn't currently allow migration or re-federation

points 3 & 8 are the most pertinent.

(sorry it's long, but i might link to this in future so i wanted it somewhat comprehensive)

i've never played destiny; but over the past couple of weeks i've seen some concept art so cool it almost makes it worth playing

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

i love turboprop trains. it's such a shame no-one has made a commercially viable one yet

okay so i looked them up, and they're ...a lot less impressive

nice avatar, by the way

but ...surely you could just do the same thing with the old design? artist's rendition:

in fact, now i look at it, it makes them look even more similar once i collapse the sidebar

concept art for a great-looking mistborn game, but i think it may unfortunately have been quietly cancelled as there's been no word since 2021 and the website is down

it's a different image to the other posts, but it's from the same artstation project so i'm cross-posting it for transparency

For my project Daybreak I imagined the last remaining city would be highly congested with surviving generations. Like any society, there is a natural hierarchy, and in this one the common people are stuck on the lower levels in most parts of the city. Inhabitants compete to build their homes in prime spots that are linked to bridges and higher levels of the city.
