Yeah well, if you’re so smart let’s see you write a website in COBOL.
no spaces in a string is a dead giveaway that theres Cobol in there somewhere meow
?
their name is kittykittycatboys what else do you expect :3 meow
It shows up on my screen as merely "max", nothing else.
If you open the profile it seems to have two names. I have the feeling that only one of them is valid with the instance postfix, despite it being shown with both
Username and display name can be set independently, you should have a "Display name" field in settings. Their non-unique display name is "max" and their unique username is "@kittykittycatboys@lemmy.blahaj.zone". If you check their profile you should see both.
If you don't set a display name it will be the same as your username, if you set display name to the same as username (like I have) it'll show your username without the instance even to people on other instances.
Oh, I see. Thanks.
Where would max even come from? That's not in their username o.O
That’s what I see too!
Max is the name of the cat, duh.
Mew!
Meow do you like to drink milk from a saucer?
You joke, but...
(No, I will never forgive the college I went to for undergrad for forcing us to take two semesters of COBOL. Why do you ask?)
I actually clicked on all the web-related Awesome Cobol links yesterday. Each one is either a broken link or golang code.
