A decent number of redditors moved to Lemmy instances after reddit pulled that move with the API/unofficial apps a few summers ago

Reading Boca Raton reminded me, they used the names of cities close to the offices for the internal names for products. I co-oped at IBM in Austin in the late 1980s and we tested the new models of PC Jr/Portable/PS2/peripherals and the internal codenames were stuff like Boca Raton and Cedar Key (which none of us got until our boss told us) but I can no longer remember which was which anymore.

Well, TIL. When I see a school named after someone who is not widely famous I assume they were an educator or politician.

Alonzo Mourning and his ex-wife have a North Miami HS named after them.
