This looks like an embarrassing mistake. If someone were to try to "tank" Twitter, it wouldn't really make sense to do this on purpose.

my comment looks stupid because OP made a (sensible) edit to their question. Before the edit, OP was asking how to rotate the lock screen without using the word "lock screen"

fwiw, that screen is called "lock screen"

This is it. Lemmy users are completely unaware of the extent to which they are not like normal people.

This obviously falls into the "documentaries and essays" category

Pretty much the hardware version of && false

it happened again with the Intuitive Machines lander that landed on the moon last week

The Github UX is amazing if you ever had to use gitlab or bitbucket

Thank you for writing the explanation! I still think that this doesn't need a blockchain. Instances could broadcast user creation, so each instance could validate user age on its own (or ask other trusted instances when they first "saw" that user).

Fundamentally, blockchain solves the problem that there is no central source of trust, but in the Fediverse people necesarily trust the instance that they sign up, so a blockchain can't add much in my opinion.

I see. I'm not convinced that proving the account creation date makes much of a difference here. Obviously the instance records when you sign up, so you would only need this to protect against malicious instances. But if a spammer is manipulating their instance to allow them to spam more, you have a much bigger problem than reliably knowing their account creation date.
