On a good day I’m up around 5 AM, but I often find myself up even earlier than that. I joined my first Lemmy instance during one of these bouts of insomnia, prompting my username.
My avatar is from a worldbuilding project I work on.
me move straight
Lemmy.zip has/had a mismatch between frontend and backend validation on usernames. When the frontend allows something that the backend rejects, you get some random “InvalidName” pop-up on form submission.
I tried several different variations of my preferred user name, but I couldn’t figure out what was violating backend validation, so finally I settled on InvalidName. Which triggered a server error (500 error or timeout or something, I don’t recall).
But finally, one glorious moment in time, the lemmy.zip server accepted InvalidName2 without choking, and the rest is history.
We call someone who can’t do anything right, or is “useless”,“un zero a l’esquerra”, a zero to the left (as in the zero in 01, which is the same as 1, making the 0 irrelevant).
I consider myself one such zero to the left, but that’s too long, so leftzero. 🤷♂️
Also… lemmy has profile pictures…?
Now THAT is a clever insult.
I only know one guy who is smart enough to understand it tho.
im always hungry
I turn things.
“We all turn the wheel… I am the one who decides the way in which it turns.”
I’m a… doctor lady.
I chose my username when I was still a teenager, originally with the meaning that I’m a nerd, but not like an amazing or extremely smart nerd, nor extremely awkward. Just your average guy with autism and nerdy on particular subjects.
I’ve mostly kept with it because it’s how most of my online friends know me, and I still think it’s part of my identity, although I’ve since developed interests that a stereotypical nerd might not have such as cycling, mountain biking, travelling and hiking.
Lemmy let’s you have a user avatar? I’ve never seen one using Voyager.
My username is a Latin phrase meaning (this particular definition is from Wikipedia): In contemporary parlance, it means tyrannical leaders will inevitably be overthrown. The phrase also suggests that bad but justified outcomes should, or eventually will, befall tyrants.
I think rebellion against the US government is required at this point regardless of your political affiliation as our Public Servant’s have shown to not care for who they represent, the American people.
I wanted something short and unique and this was somewhat pronounceable with a vowel in the middle
I have the user name “aeao” on Xbox. Just 4 letters. One day it’ll be worth millions!
Very few people know who/what Chip Chipperson is. I particularly like the young fella and chippys mittens was the name of his pet horse, RIP.
I don’t have an avatar because I can’t figure out how to change it. Looked it up plenty and always come away empty handed.
On the web, click on your username in the upper right and then click on settings. Under Avatar you can browse your local file system for a suitable file.
As a child in the local library, I always passed the large print section and there was always this one book there: The Spitting Image. It had a furious-looking gargoyle on the cover and it used to scare me at first, but over time it seemed goofier and goofier. And since as an adult I have to fight the urge to be goofy when I should be serious, I felt like it was suitable.
Picked a random space word and a random object in the room at the time.
My avatar was created by me a long time ago based on the “Astro” part of my username.
Just being honest and upfront, no reason to question otherwise.
