Looking at the Mozilla logo, we could see a URI hiding (or not) in there. Like mysql://.

1000024068

They should make it into a protocol like mysql here and incorporate 'a' in there then do something with it.

They have, sort of. Going to moz://a in Firefox leads to their manifesto

Wow didn't knew that existed. Guess they are a step ahead of me.

Yeah, wow. How did I not know this? Thanks @NateNate60@lemmy.world.

Edit: Fixed mention

! Is for referencing Lemmy communities I think.

Ah my bad. Still learning. I thought that notation would let the top poster know that I mentioned him.

Almost. Exclamation marks are used for mentioning communities, but @ is used for users. Like this: @sgibson5150@slrpnk.net

Not all clients turn it clickable yet, but the user will be notified.

Ah very nice ty ty. I will fix.

Off topic: I always get confused and make this mistake in english (not my first language). Is it "Didn't know" or is it "Didn't knew", when talking in past test ?

[–] Marighost@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

"Did not know" is correct. "Knew" generally comes after a pronoun "I knew, he knew, they knew. " Know, however, is also fine after pronouns.

I'm sure there's a properly defined rule in English for it, but I definitely don't know it.

So what's the story behind this ? They're a cult ? 👀

[–] everett@lemmy.ml 8 points 7 months ago

It's a long story.
