Three decades I've had this name and only now am I noticing that.

You could also top her.

Chris, top her.

[–] UndefinedIsNotAFunction@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sorry it took you so long. To be fair though, I forgot about it entirely and I also have been using this name for a very long time.

[–] Christopher@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe I did know, but nobody cared enough to call attention to it, so I forgot; and then I forgot that I forgot. MIB-style.

[–] UndefinedIsNotAFunction@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

It's ok, Stopher. It's ok.

Finally the first good DLC for names. The last update turning Leonardo into just Leo really broke the immersion.
