They just have a secret kink for becoming compromised by dictionary attacks, specifically.

This is the gamer equivalent of when you hear music and see someone playing an instrument in a show/movie, and nothing they are doing matches the music.

The ones I have seen most recently are so thin and flimsy that they are worse at the job than a paperclip.

I usually find my thinnest allen wrench and use that.

The $800m figure is only useful for figuring out how much Tesla was expecting to make out of it. When you factor in the development and manufacturing costs, they're hemorrhaging money.

Hell yeah if I could get a free cybertruck I'd have lots of fun salvaging the motors, batteries, sensors, etc.!

Straight from his Wikipedia page:

Piker's stream covering the results of the 2020 United States presidential election peaked at 230,000 concurrent viewers and was the sixth most-watched source of election coverage across YouTube and Twitch, comprising 4.9% of the market share.

I'd say that's a pretty significant portion of all online coverage for that election. He's not famous famous but he's definitely a big online political figure.

The way I see it:

On English lemmy there are countless situations in which people fail to pick up on jokes/wordplay. I imagine the same happens quite often in any media in any language.

I would imagine it's a way to familiarize the kids to the incentive structure of the badges when they are still too young to be focused.

True, but it you change the argument from "this will happen" to "this with happen more frequently" then it's still a very reasonable observation.

Yes, the TLD. Wasn't really sure if most people would know what a top-level domain is.

I did some testing. The form accepts anything in the format *@*.* so long as each * segment only contains appropriate characters. The domain itself doesn't need to be real, but the suffix needs to be real.

"a@b.cd" works.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. Subtle but unusual is a good way to describe it.

However, I would like to point out that if it is their branding, then the character appearing is an advertisement for the service. It's just not very conventional or effective advertising, but they're not making money from a vast majority of implementations, so it's not very egregious anyway.
