For a little pre-event discussion and to give some inspiration for peoples designs for this event, what was your favorite design that was made in previous iterations of the event?
Theres some atlases for the 2024 and 2025 editions of the event you can look at to see what people made
And then heres the 2023 timelapse
Last year for reference
And the year before that
Tried looking. According to one of the users who posted it its by 0x00 whos the person who made floor 796. All things I can find relating to them are floor 796 related though and can't find where this was originally posted
Heres floor 796 though if anyones interested https://floor796.com
For self hosting there's also Forgejo which is a fork of Gitea
Thats what Codeberg uses
Its a link aggregator, links get aggregated
Theres a bunch of original content if you look at the right communities. For example !foodporn@lemmy.world
Reason hasnt been given. Theres this message from the discord
https://boost.lemy.lol <- link to it, doesnt work for instances not connected to it like lemmy.world but theres still ~ 26 major ones
In the past imgbb was used to post CSAM to some communities so some instances remove links to images hosted on it (or I guess ban the user in the instance you were on)
Edit: seems like that was lemmy.world, reach out to their community team and ask to be unbanned if you want your account unbanned, seems like they did that for someone else in the past
Triggered due to incorrect handling of LaTeX. Original answer on the page was 10^80 which ended up getting the exponentiation ignored by google
searching across all of github was made to be logged in then
repository level searching though is relatively recent. Heres the blog post about the change dated in June this year https://github.blog/changelog/2023-06-07-code-search-now-requires-login/
This comment by an employee in the thread also calls out it was in 2023 and links to the blog post

[Paneled meme with a brain that gets increasingly glowing]
[The brain is smaller than the skull]
if dayOfWeek.name == "Sunday" || dayOfWeek.name == "Saturday"
weekend = true
[The brain is glowing in some areas]
if dayOfWeek < 2 || dayOfWeek > 6
weekend = true
[The brain is shooting out rays of light]
weekend = !((dayOfWeek - 1) % 6)

They removed charging again for deleting and reinstalling but are still charging for installing on a different device. So they just realized that there's no way to enforce the former without people abusing it
Edited the title to have a by in front to make that a bit more clear
