Not exactly - what was proven is that there's no way to distinguish between inertial frames of reference. There could be a universal frame of reference, which would most likely be the average velocity of all things in the universe. There's not much point in making a distinction in most cases, because if you can't detect it, it might as well not exist - but since we're making up time travel, we might as well make up a universal frame of reference, it doesn't break anything time travel hasn't already broken...

My ads aren't targeted, at least I don't think they are... I honestly don't notice what they are for most of the time, so that's a failure right there, they're not memorable - but when I do notice, they're for either trump or sports betting, two things which I have negative interest in...

Are they still doing that thing where OEMs pay licenses based on units sold regardless of OS? So even if you want Linux, they still have to pay for windows?

I did that years ago, and they said basically "never". Then a couple years later all of a sudden, there it was.

pirated

It's not pirating if you own a physical copy like DVD or Blu-ray, it's fair use. Fuck the studios for trying to take that away from us.

"Stuck with"? I find open source alternatives far less infuriating to work with than anything Microsoft produces.

What's the Lemmy equivalent of /r/hailcorporate?

You could, but then we wouldn't be talking about a carbon paper roller thingy...

Knuckle-buster was the industry term, and they were already obsolete 20 years ago...

Not sure how much good that'll be... A lot of banks are giving out cards where the numbers are only printed, I haven't had one with raised numbers in years.
