You’d think so but colours are weird. Some of the ones we see aren’t ones that actually exist, they’re invented by our brains. Magenta for example doesn’t exist, there is no wavelength for it and because of the way our eyes detect light it should really be a shade of green. But our brain doesn’t like that and invents a brand new colour instead.
Multi-threaded programming is hard. You can’t just write some code and expect it to work across 4 cores, you need to know what to parallelise and how to do it. If you think normal bugs are hard to fix, just wait until you have a calculation that gives a different answer each time you run it thanks to race conditions.
Plus, the more entwined threads is with the rest of the fediverse, the harder it’ll be for them to break off. Users will be following Mastodon accounts and posting in Lemmy communities and if Meta does something to break that, they’re the ones that’ll get the backlash, not the fediverse. We’ll just continue along as normal.
It’s because it can cause confusion. The only difference between example.com/file.zip and example.com.file.zip is one uses a . and the other a / but both are valid domains. If somebody isn’t paying much attention or they don’t know much about domain names, they could click thinking to get a zip file from a legitimate site and end up going somewhere malicious instead. No other TLDs have this issue (well, I guess .com technically has it but who the hell is downloading and running com files these days) and they’re pretty much exclusively used for this reason so it’s a good idea to block them just to be safe.
Nah, the technology to fake the moon landing straight up didn’t exist in the 60s. There’s a really good video on youtube that goes over it but I can’t seem to find it right now. But basically, even though there were some nice techniques to make special effects for movies, they wouldn’t have worked for faking an actual moon landing.
