  • That's not true. It happened in my country, and I don't live in the US.

  • This is my first post here… What kind of things do people post on feddit.it?

    The community you have posted in is on lemmy.world, which is primarily in English. You may not get much response to your question. You could try asking in a community hosted on feddit.it.

    You question is also a borderline violation of Rule 5, but I'll let it stand.

  • The future of Obsidian plugins - Obsidian

    Jump

  • It's not FOSS, but it uses markdown which is open, so even if Obsidian went down the path of enshitification, you could still (in theory) move your content over to an alternative. I know, I know, plugins, non-standard etc. etc..

  • [Jeff Geerling] I'm never buying a Bambu Lab 3D printer again

    Jump

  • I get your point, but when a part broke on my Prusa, I jury rigged it, downloaded and printed a replacement part and swapped out the broken part for the (improved) new one. With many other brands it would have been an expensive purchase and I would have had to wait for parts to arrive.

  • What's an interesting etymology for a common term?

    Jump

  • In archery, arrows have three feathers (in a Y shape) rather than four (+) so that it can slide past the bow without damaging the feathers or the bow. This means that the arrow can be nocked either the right way (with the leg of the Y away from the bow) or the wrong way (with the leg of the Y towards the bow).

    In medieval Europe, the arrow would be nocked with the bow held horizontally. To make it easier for archers to quickly and easily nock their arrows, the feather to go away from the bow (pointing upwards) was a different color, and came from a cock (rooster). So when drilling new archers, if they nocked the arrow the wrong way, the instructor would shout "Cock Up!".

    This came to mean a mistake.

  • Floors in the Middle Ages were dirt covered with straw for insulation and other reasons.

    Threshold = thresh (straw) + hold (a piece of wood across the front doorway to stop the thresh from spilling out)

  • This is also why the symbol for a British pound Sterling is a stylised "L".

    Edit: the currency was at one time backed by silver, so 1 GBP used to be = 1 lbs silver.
