I just wanted to mention something that has been bothering me slightly. People keep referring to this instance as “db0” because it’s quicker to type, but, well, that’s just the username I’ve been using for the past 20+ years
Can I convince the m@tes to switch to calling it /0
for short if dbzer0
is too long for you?
Feel free to make any other suggestions here.
You’re thinking too hard. Chill.
I’ll never read /Foo as divide by foo haha. Too much time on the linuxes.
Unfortunately acronyms are a rather ingrained feature of English text communication, and db0 is how that falls out. Not sure you’ll win this one.
Eh, was worth a shot
If you changed the name to singularity or something, or undefined? Referring to the results of the operations you might get somewhere?
I think people shorten it based on the domain name, so I doubt this would work.
Sorry fam, db0 is too good as a shorthand.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Wear it proudly.
I think it’s a non-issue, because from context everyone will know if the instance or you are meant.
Should’ve maybe called the instance something different entirely if you didn’t want that problem :D
gotta check db0 to see what db0 posted
I usually use db0 because I’m not sure people I’m talking too will get “/0”
I got you DeeBee /0
FYI you forgot to add the GenAI tag
Personally for me, the standard is this
dbzer0: instance
db0: you
/0 [governance]: communities
So I think it would be clashing in that case. Just my opinion.
FYI you forgot to add the GenAI tag
Oh right. fixed
How do we know this isn’t a psyop, and secretly db0 accidentally was absorbed by the Horde and is now a sentient representation of dbzer0?
Until now I’ve let context do the heavy lifting, but will be more mindful of the split as requested.
Ironically I’d avoided using db0 about anything except literally you by name as to try avoiding needlessly pinging you in matrix.
No because I’m an electrical engineer and I read it as Decibel 0 😆
How about I just refer to it as the result of dividing by zero and call it “ERROR?” :p
Lol be careful the rest of your post doesn’t get cut off because of a strcpy.It’s early, that’s \0 not /0
:0
I use dbz, is this better? Still super short but not your username
Dragon ball z
people will think you’re talking about dragonball z :D
Set sail on the Saiyan Seas!Unofficial dbzer0 mascot now lmao
Dragon ball zero
I like the /0 as short reference but I also suggest we use it like the reference from the “old forums”.
