What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Man the guessing the url part just trigger a memory for me but I can't remember what the site was... Was a website back in early/mid 2000s that used to do a girl of the day post, it was originally a clothed and naked shot but for some reason around 2006 that stopped having the links for the naked shots, you used to have to manually add a N to the end of the url... Anyone remember what that site was, page style was heavily black with fluro green accents
I don't know that specific site but lots of porn sites used to do those "preview of the day" things with a date or iterator in the URL.
I remember writing a simple script/page (must have been around 2002) where you could just paste a URL with wildcards and the wildcards could be iterated from x to y. It even checked if the generated linked page existed or threw http errors. It was amazing, how many links I collected and never visited again. The things you do for porn...
Nothing can stand between a horny teenager and his porn.
PS How did you get the monospace username display? How do I get the same? Can we do this for any font?
You can set a displayed name in your profile and you can use Unicode characters for it. I use an Android app called "Stylish Text" for conversion but I am sure there are countless other options out there.
Those fancy fonts use extended Unicode sets which can look cute but which are really bad for accessibility. (sound on)
Oh, wow, thanks for bringing this to my attention! I had no idea. I mean now that I know it, it seems kinda logical... The classic mistake of a person not dependent on accessibility tech.
I just see a row of 'missing character' glyphs
I changed it back to the standard font. If it's more accessible that way I'm all for it.
