It says I've been removed from the test program. How do I get back in?

Maybe they're trying to become the new Internet Explorer?

Strange. Lemmy was the real entry point for me to enter the Fediverse.

Happy National Skunk Day! (lemmy.world)
 

What is your favorite thing about skunks? And did you know it existed? I first found out about the event a few years ago.

Shocking News: Reddit has trademarks for forum names like "Explain Like I'm Five" registered on USPTO. in c/[email protected]

Apparently there was a trademark problem with WALLSTREETBETS at one point. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/reddit-sued-wallstreetbets-trademark-settlement-1235327626

I thought stuff like "Explain Like I'm Five" and "AMA" was proprietary to the community, or at least the Reddit community, not Reddit as a company.

I checked and I found at least those subreddit forum names were registered as trademarks.

  • TODAY I LEARNED (TIL)
  • SHOWERTHOUGHTS
  • EXPLAIN LIKE I'M FIVE
  • NOSLEEP
  • AM I THE ASSHOLE?
  • IAMA
  • RPAN (actual subreddit name is R/PAN but they messed up the word mark for the registration I think.)
  • ASK REDDIT (makes sense since this includes Reddit's name.)
  • NATURE IS FUCKING LIT (I thought you couldn't register word marks with swearing but I guess I'm wrong. Must be only for offensive terms then...)
  • ASK ME ANYTHING (yes somehow this "generic term" is a trademark now...")
  • AMA
  • ELI5

Also they have some trademark registration applications for WALLSTREETBETS that have not been finalized yet.

How do we combat Google Chrome being Internet Explorer 2.0?

Feels like I need to reboot my iPhone daily in order to keep applications and tabs from being terminated from out of memory issues as quickly.

Now we gotta have websites developing for all web browsers instead of Google Chrome like it's Internet Explorer 2.0.

What do you think of Batty Koda from the FernGully series? (lemmy.world)
 

He was an interesting character with antenna back in the first movie and a memorable voice actor.

Happy 16th anniversary, #fediverse! in c/[email protected]

This has been going on for 16 years? I thought it was started in the mid or late 2010s.

There's apparently a Reddit activity streak achievement system now. in c/[email protected]

Wait, you need to post every day to get the achievement?

What's up with Bats and Bananas? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Why not apples? Is there a reason apples aren't a preferred fruit of bats?

There's apparently a Reddit activity streak achievement system now. (lemmy.world)
 

I just noticed this when I saw a strange "Achievement Unlocked" notification pop up on Reddit. What do you think of this? It seems like a retention tactic to me, like what Amino had with its streak leaderboards, and GameFAQs currently has with streak achievements for logging on ten days in a row and also for all days of a month.

What's up with Bats and Bananas? (lemmy.world)
 

What makes bats like bananas so much? Or is it just the humans' preferred treat for bats?

What do you think of the old "MEPHITIS ADVOCATE" newsletter? (lemmy.world)
 

It used to exist but the website seems to be broken now. Is the newsletter still active or is it dead?

Anyone remember the Striped Bandits website? (lemmy.world)
 

The site "Striped Bandits" died in 2022 or so and was replaced with a raccoon comic. What did you think of the old 2005-2016 era website? Did you use its forum back in the day? I remember reading about it.

Have you seen this YouTube channel about bats? (youtube.com)
 

I was reminded about Bat Appreciation Day today thanks to this channel on YouTube.

Here's yet another news article about pet skunks. What do you think of them? Do you think they should be pets at all?

Earth.com: Skunks' stripes have different patterns depending on where they live (www.earth.com)
 

Apparently they have come to the conclusion that skunk stripes are different based on the area and how many predators there are. It's nice to know more about my favorite animals.
