This is fake, no one can code like that

Because Arch is at best comparable to sport fandom, at worst to religious cult. And fans/cultists do these kinds of things

TIL people don’t know about rosetta stone. My mom loves ancient Egypt so information like this was my “daily bread” when I was little, never realized that this isn’t common

I initially saw that number on a Facebook post and when I checked the source [1] it also mentioned the 15 billion figure so I went with it. Looking at it closely, the author did some “creative” math to get that number

His total take home amounted to five times the earnings of the highest paid provincial governors over a similar period—enough to provide grain for the entire city of Rome for one year, or to pay all the ordinary soldiers of the Roman Army at the height of its imperial reach for a fifth of a year. By today’s standards that last figure, assuming the apt comparison is what it takes to pay the wages of the American armed forces for the same period, would cash out to about $15 billion

Good catch, I should read the sources better and don’t trust the Facebook (especially the Facebook)

rethinks ability to compete with netflix

Yeah, I canceled my subscription like 2 years ago, loosing my prize of 30% discount in the process (it was a thing since I had HBO GO). I don’t know if it’s a regional thing but there was just nothing new or interresting there. I remember just constant superheroes and Harry Potter. Went for Netflix and never looked back. So, good luck I guess, hopefully they change

Pfff I know all about the aptitude, who do you think I am? Someone who doesn’t know the aptitude? I use it all the time for a lot of … stuff the aptitude does

I love how UK has so many of these weird traditions that just went too far and now everyone just feels bad to stop it

I guess I went full circle since I returned back to classic ones. I used electric one for years but suddenly I started to feel with my tongue that it didn’t do good job. Changing the head didn’t help. My dentist was also surprised but she suggested to try to use also classic one when I finish with electric. And voila, it really did the job. To this day I’m not sure what happened …

Český Lev (Czech lion). It certainly isn’t on the level of Oscar but when I see a movie won Český Lev then I know it should be good

I think I’m lost, can you elaborate on how is Snowwhite a racist fairytale?

But … she is literally called “SnowWhite”

At this point I know this is just fan-baiting

I dislike Arch btw

While not amazing, Silent Hill was ok (6.5 on imdb)

There’s a new trend with immutable distros and they have some pros and cons. OP’s stance apparently is that they’re the future

AI generation can be used for disinformation which can literally destabilize or right away end the world as we know it.

But fake Taylor Swift pictures, this is where we draw the line …

I mean Notepad++ is like a monument to Microsoft incompetence and them not caring about technically minded people for decades. Where a single guy beats trillion dollar company’s ass, actually not just beats, absolutely destroys big time. And they were either not able or didn’t care with responding and providing some power text editor. The fact that their OS was able to acquire any significant market share in developer’s community is an ultimate triumph of marketing department

I’d see 2 reasons:

1. A lot of people put a lot of money into it and they won’t give them up. They’ll keep buying and selling, keeping it sort of artificially afloat even if it has no real world usage. Well there is actually one which leads me to the next point
2. The illegal market (and gambling) has a use case for cryptocurrencies so they actually use them

But to put it simply - they don’t die because they don’t have to. There is no single company that would pull the plug. By it’s design, they can coexist in our world and no one can stop it, doesn’t matter if people use it or not

It’s like a torrent with millions of seeders. As long as there is at least one seeder, the torrent will exist even if the files it contains aren’t really useful
