This has probably been asked before but I wanted to add another layer/an alternative.
So, I ask, where did your username/pseudonym/nickname originate from? What’s the meaning behind it?
Or alternatively, which is the most creative/interesting nickname origin you have come across?
I like captain Picard.
All of Lemmy knows. Never stop. Your account is basically a cultural heritage site at this point.
Mine stands for “Divided by Zer0”, based on the programming error “division by zero”. Amusingly, people keep assuming it stands for “database zero” or “dragonball zero”.
From Willian Gibsons (the guy who coined ‘Cyberspace’) book Count Zero, if you put zero on the interrupt on address zero you’ll just get stuck in an neverending cycle.
And it was the chosen nick of Bobby in the book.
I’m a squirrel.
My username is literal. I’m literally a wood scientist. Or more specifically, I’m a current PhD student in civil engineering and wood science. Identifying Wood by Hoadley was actually a textbook in one of the courses I took.
