Thanks for expanding my vocab! “Screed” is a great word for his insane ramblings.

Yeah, I’m aware that all or numbers and models are, at best, representative of what is really happening. That’s what I love about the limits of our knowledge: there always something more to learn.
I wonder how spacetime around a black hole’s ergosphere is represented by the “flow” analogy. Maybe like water swirling around a drain?
That’s perfectly valid. With the gold thing, I was referring to the fact that people say it verbatim as I typed, (seemingly) every time. IMO it feels less genuine when someone doesn’t thank another using their own words.
By the way, your respectful disagreement is another reason why I like Lemmy. Courtesy seems to be more common over here :D
That’s a really interesting perspective. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it described that way before, but it’s very easy for me to grasp. Do you have any resources I can look into for more information? Does that concept have a name I can look up?
I thought my family were the only ones! Must have been to differentiate it from the “Super Nintendo” we also had.
Along with everyone else’s great points, I’m so glad I don’t have to suffer through another “thanks for the gold, kind stranger!” Or yet another painful comment chain of “puns” that are more like weak rhyming/word association, often reusing the same tired phrases. That entire place is so boring and uncreative.
Long live Lemmy!
Not being able to give support to friends and family will feel really weird.
I see it as being liberated. Besides, while it’ll suck to be unable to fix their problems, if it gets bad enough that they consider other operating systems, you’ll be right there to help them switch!
Never heard of the greengrocer’s apostrophe so I looked it up. https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-a-greengrocers-apostrophe-1690826
I absolutely love that there’s a group called the Apostrophe Protection Society. Is there something like that for the Oxford Comma? I’d gladly join them!
Thankfully the chances of that happening would be reduced by the difference between the solar system’s ecliptic place vs that of the Milky Way. According to this Stack Exchange user, it’s a 60.2-degree difference. Illustrated beautifully here.
Then again, it isn’t called a “cloud” for nothing. Still, a large chunk of it is theorized to be aligned with the plane of the solar system.
I absolutely love PSO. Still play Blue Burst on Ephinea from time to time.
I want to thank my best friend for introducing it to me all those years ago on GameCube.
It’s too bad PSO2 turned into what looks like your typical shitty MMO. It was really fun back in 2012-ish on the SEA servers with the fan translation patch.

There are dozens of us!
I hope you don’t expect their next OS to be good, whether they call it 12 or otherwise. Skip all Windows from now on, IMO
Like I said, it’s just the way I feel about it. Yours is a compelling argument though, and honestly more fun!
I’d say no, because the microplastics aren’t really a part of our DNA. But that’s just my definition.
I think we could say that we all have dinosaurs inside us, just like our pesky skeletons.
This is really cool, thanks for sharing!
You can find plenty of ISO files on archive.org. I’m not sure about the legality of it, so I’ll say I don’t condone doing it, etc. But some of them have been there for several years, so I think MS doesn’t care.
Just be careful about clinking links in the user comments. People have been known to post shady links and moderation seems to be lacking, from what I’ve seen.
Good luck getting your game to run! Oh, and long live archive.org!
I have a virtual machine with WinXP and one with 98, for when I’m feeling nostalgic :)
Sorry to hear you have to use Windows… I’m still stuck on 10 but I’ve been enjoying the hell out of Mint Xfce and I’ll complete the move soon enough!
Came here to say this! Take my upvote!
