Surely that wasn’t 16 years ago.

Surely.

This reminds me of my dad, who shared Redd Fox with me because we both liked George Carlin.

That’s very kind of you, but I hesitate to take the word of the noteless and I can’t just take you at your word that you are bereft of hinges.

It’s too bad I don’t have a note about you, because I feel like that would make this more contentious but probably interesting.

If I were going to make one about you, and you were as honest as you think you can be, what do you think it would say? I haven’t looked at your post history and I don’t remember your username from elsewhere (sorry), so I’m genuinely curious how you’ll choose to represent yourself.

I can’t comment on your particular client, but I suspect most of them should support it in some form.

It looks like Thunder is available for Android and iOS. I dont really use it but I do have it installed, so I took a look. It has a “user label” function that looks pretty similar and is added through the same basic process.

Note that I am very much not an expert on Lemmy and even less so on anything Apple, but I bet a way can be found! And if not you always have the option of submitting a feature request to the developer of whatever app you do use.

Good luck!

I’ve never been so proud of a title!

It’s great that you got it working; hopefully it serves you well. I’ve primarily used it to mark people who aren’t worth an argument to me (“argues in bad faith”) and people with whom it’s extra worth engaging ("seems clever, " “shares a fandom,” in a few rare cases just their first name to make it stand out if it’s a friend but I didn’t notice the username).

Tbh I’ve only got, like … Five user notes.

edit: One more now!

As for what they are, the green text in my screenshot.

How depends on how you access Lemmy. In my client, Connect, I expand a comment, tap the three dots to the right of it, and click “add user note.”

I don’t know that I have one now, but when I was a kid I liked “minimizing” because it was a pleasant pattern to type.

Both excellent points!

If this made you cry, don’t think about the fact that swans can be gay.

Ah, I’m no bartender but every cocktail kit I’ve had has referred to them interchangeably. I was thinking of the spoon style but ironically ran out of metaphorical spoons while trying to find a good example. Thanks.

edit: Added missing words.

A swizzle stick?

Apparently there’s a collector’s club for these, but none of them displayed in photos were the twisted kind, so I didn’t link there.

I knew I wouldn’t regret starting to use user notes.

My sister once declared ice “the only food that fits in every diet.”

I believe they were referring to one of the Maximoff twins.

On Thursday I attended a company-wide meeting wherein several coworkers tried (with mixed results) to persuade the rest of the company to start using AI. The primary way they did so was by listing incidents in which they’d found it useful.

One of the examples was (mildly paraphrased) “our other coworker is old, so he knows things like Tom Sawyer. He said he thought I was pulling a Tom Sawyer, trying to convince him to paint the fence.”

I respect the person who was giving that speech, they seem very knowledgeable, but hearing that they had to ask AI what that meant was just upsetting.

That said, I guess one use for AI is deciphering idioms?

it can happen if you alot of parasites or a tumor

There seems to be a word missing there and I usually don’t criticize for that kind of mistake, but in this case it seems REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT.

Did they come up with a plot? It seemed like they stopped at coming up with the pun “B Movie.”

Fascinating place to demonstrate your expertise!

This is basically how I got a kid. I think there’s only one step left …
