When I read your comment, I internalized "sorted" as "sordid." I guess either one works!

What's wrong with rougelikes in your opinion? I don't usually seek them out, but for a good while I was super addicted to Binding of Isaac. I think the gameplay loop is pretty fun.

The rest of your comment I agree with wholeheartedly.

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?

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!

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

This is really cool, thanks for sharing!
