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.
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.
“After the end of World War II, the world was split into two - East and West. This marked the beginning of the era called the Cold War.”
I’m autistic, have adhd, am neither right or left handed, and am a sociopath.
I didn’t choose the weird life, the weird life chose me, I just accepted it.
World of Warcraft forums night-shift.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
romanized real name; result of clicking in Inkscape for 2 hrs.
Should be obvious
It’s from the Wug Test.
“This is a man who knows how to gling. He is glinging. Yesterday, he _____”
Also, what client are you on that shows you avatars? I have not used one yet that shows avatars.
My use name is cobbled together from a word list of Tolkiens valarin language. Akasan means story telling and the -Z suffix makes it a personal name. I thought the extra h would aid in pronunciation, but I’m practise most people just say aka.
My avatar it’s my own Photoshop of one of the doges of Venice, with a Shibu face. Mind that I made this before musk ruined the doge meme and I won’t let him run this. A clan mate took it, drew a mustache+soul patch on it and made the texts instead of historical, lewd as she thought that more appropriate (I do sport a mustache and soul patch irl)
I really liked watching B-grade 90s-00s SciFi movies with my dad when I was a kid. That was the name of one that came out around the time I made a reddit account, I don’t know if I ever even watched it, it just sounded like a good username. Reminds me, I should probably make a new lemmy account that’s not tied to the same name
