A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Nobody cared about the usernames in the first place.

You were already Nero#12345 or Nero#99999 because there were a million Neros. In the end your display name is still "Nero" because that's what you use on servers.

So only your login name changed and the name you have to give someone when adding them as friend. But before the change that name was already Nero#number, you never were the "original" Nero.
