For the optical media side of things, the name was coined by Phillips while they were consorting with Sony to develop the standard and named it the “Compact Disc” to compliment their already existing “Compact Cassette” product. They developed an official logo for the format which spelled it “disc.” That’s been with us ever since.
Didn’t LaserDisc predate Compact Discs?
Yeah, Lemmy doesn’t block you from accessing it via a VPN, for one.
They’re probably close to the same amount of inconvenient. The cash tip jar feels better than doing the custom option which feels like I’m specifically trying to tip less (at least that’s how I feel whenever I use it). I don’t like feeling that way and would rather feel positive about dropping cash in a tip jar than feel bad about adjusting to a similar tip on the screen options.
I know it’s stupid, but it’s just how it makes me feel when using the screen.
In the US, I’ve started paying in cash to combat the aggressive tip buttons (your options are: 20%, 30%, 40%, or Other). With cash, I feel free to provide a reasonable tip for whatever service and they see it and appear appreciative, even if it’s not the 20% the little tip screen attempts to strong arm you into.
Every sign, every rule, every law has a story as to why it is necessary.
Yep, that’s the one haha
Thanks for this. The one multiplayer game I’ve been consistently playing apparently got Linux anti cheat support enabled 2 months ago.
I think installing Linux on my gaming/work PC will be a winter holiday project for me 😀.
Now to pick a distro.
Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, not countries!
Whenever I really have to pee I say “why did I drink all that crab juice!” out loud and no one knows what the hell I’m talking about.
I look back and my parents let me read this in high school without comment…like wtf mom and dad.

Is that where Ted’s ego came from in HIMYM? I thought it was just Ted, but maybe all architects are horrible?
Yeah, people just want a “generic” place because they generally don’t want to be pidgeon holed. I have nice and inoffensive lemmy.world and lemmy.today accounts because of this. I’m basically a vanilla NPC in my life and “sh.itjust.works” is simply too spicy!
Probably because lemmy.world is down again.
Wait for lemmy.world to be back up and try again. If you can’t login on the web, the tool won’t be able to login either.
Oh interesting…the plot thickens!
