I know it's so annoying. Like the thing on lemmy that blocks out credit card numbers. I needed to send it to my friend the other week and lemmy was the easiest way, but it blanks it out, here's my number, see? ####-####-####-####
Really let me try 2345678910
Does this really work?
6969-6969-6969
Edit: so cool! I like that you can still see the numbers but it blocks everyone else from seeing it. Had to check with my other account. But it works!
Did it work? Looks unobfuscated on my end, but I assume that's a special feature. It'd be silly if it obfuscates my own comments right?
It also works for passwords but displays astricks. For example mine is ******* go ahead, test it out with your password
Let’s see, mine is hunter2. Yeah I guess it works: I can still see it but im sure it’s censored for everyone else, right? Right?
Please leave the stupid reddit jokes back on reddit.
This dead horse was beaten into a very fine paste 10 years ago and it wasn't funny back then either.
That joke predates Reddit even. It’s an old mIRC joke that was posted on bash.org
I'm really sorry you didn't enjoy the joke we all did. I can see it really affected you, since you went to the trouble to post about it instead of moving on with your life. I hope in time you can find closure. Preferably in a fridge that doesn't open from the inside.
I've been moving on with my life regarding this since about 2005, but it has failed to move on from me. I'm not sure what's so funny about going "HUNTER2 HYUCK HYUCK HYUCK" every time you see the word "password" on the internet, but whatever, man, it's clearly more popular than I am because y'all just can't stop doing it.
I like this guy and his hatred of things more than a moment old.
Who IS on first?
Yes.
