@nina_kali_nina #Funfact: Good messengers never stopped that (i.e. #XMPP+#OMEMO [@gajim & @monocles / #monoclesChat] & #IRC [ #QuasselIRC])…

• Not shure if @delta can do it, but @RocketChat and @zulip certainly do allow eben custom status messages!

@PetitPas C'est sur le Tour de France maintenant, ou il y a une perspective historique ? #funfact : le Tour a été lancé et porté par un journal nommé... "L'Auto". Journal sportif "patriote" qui était le concurrent anti-dreyfusard du journal "Le Vélo", et qui a été interdit à la Libération parce qu'il était favorable à l'occupant allemand, mais dont le personnel est revenu pour lancer "L'Équipe" (au sein du groupe Amaury, lié à la Résistance, cette fois).

@blog #FunFact: #AVM at least didn't correlate the default password with any serial #, tho the defaults are printed on the device.

• Alas to reset it people need physical access to the device or rather a telephone cinnected to it and the network it's on so one can conclude that by that point people already broke into a home and their CPE is the least of their concerns!

Some say pinking shears- which create a serrated/toothed edge on fabric, were named for the petals of Dianthus flowers, many types called 'Pinks'. I suspect this is backwards- people drawing the association from the observation that the petals look like 'pinked' fabric. It is suggested that 'pinking' stems from an old word for cutting decoration into fabric.. So the flowers were likely named for the fringe rather than the reverse- though many-not all- are pink! #FunFact #words

The etymology of America has an odd history. In 19th century "America" meant the United States + Guam + Samoa + Philippines + Puerto Rico + Virgin islands + Pacific outlying regions + Carribbean outlying regions + Hawaii + Alaska + all other smaller islands that the US annexed over the years. Before 1898 "America" was rarely used. After 1898 "America" became common usage to refer to the "empire" not the republic. That is, an empire the US has since denied being. #funfact
