I feel for you lmao. Technology naming conventions are a shitshow, and CPU architecture is no exception.

Capitalism is a relatively recent invention, so no.

It's disappointing that there are people who think that "far-left ideologues" have anything to do with the decline of public libraries.

that's sad :(

I encourage you to look up "obtain" and stop being intentionally ignorant.

ah shit, I should have looked up if beer itself is pasteurized. So-and-so Pasteur himself invented the process for beer and ale specifically (albeit around 1870, so before then I would be right)

If you didn't know, pasteurization is a specific process of preserving food by heating it to a certain temperature. Not sure if there's a good substitute for that word in the way you're using it though (technically alcohol is distilled, but it's not distilled water like one would normally think of it. it's not really "purified" either. hmm)

I looked it up, and aww :)

Unlike many of the things people talk about on this website that I didn't experience growing up, I actually did download this on Windows Vista once. It might have been a version with malware, but I don't remember.

Very considerate!

I tried using DuckDyckGo (lol) for a few weeks recently, but its results are just as bad or worse than Google's are usually. It's the same problem of endless worthless listicle noise.

Plus, with Wikipedia, you can clearly see the sources or the lack of them. I tried asking ChatGPT for a source twice. One time, it gave a source. Another time, it gave the "as a language model I can't" spiel.

Police aren't known for their investigation skills.

how so?

someone who became homeless because they don't make enough money is likely to come from a family that doesn't make much money.

someone who becomes homeless due to addiction is not likely to be supported by their family because people, in general, hate addicts. even well-off families often can't or won't afford to pay for the help the addict needs, or the addict needs more help than can be afforded, and eventually the family is likely to get sick of it and the addict is again homeless.

you might believe that these aren't the case, and I can't convince you, but the traditional family support network barely exists now and usually doesn't accomplish much when it does exist.

Nothing, but it has to do with Microsoft, which the comment they were replying to talks about in its latter half.

There are valid reasons to consider ChromeOS "not real Linux" or "not real Desktop Linux". In my opinion, you are being needlessly reductive (mainly in your final paragraph).

What's up with the way you write the letter s? Is it a catch-all for apostrophes? I haven't seen anyone do that before, just curious.

I thought you were joking, but no, the CUNT is real

that astro thing, despite saying whatever-it-is is built for speed, is laggy on my phone. kinda funny

Yeah, I've seen that. I'd have called it "recipe mode" but I like your name for it better.

or, more realistically, allowing only one brand of detergent. oh wait, printers already do that (with ink, not detergent)

Wow, this answered some questions I've wondered about for a while yet never thought of looking up. Especially the section on subpixel antialiasing; very neat. I didn't know that was an intentional thing, I figured it was just something that happened on its own.

I am also curious. The main reason I haven't even tried figuring Lemmy out is because I figured it'd be exclusively full of "free speech" people, like other Reddit alternatives.

This is almost certainly intentional. It's been a trend for a while for companies to make their websites as shitty as possible so you're basically forced to use their app.
