One of them will have to be minesweeper because I can pretty much play it endlessly. The other 4, I’m not so sure. I love some of suggestions other people made.

As much as I dislike about Discord, I can’t deny that its level of service, polish and ease of use are just superb. Especially for voice chat with friends with integrated screen sharing that just works.

There are show stoppers sometimes - occasionally messages just don’t get sent or received for whatever reason, and Discord’s handling of it is just bad. It’s pretty important for a chat app to work reliably for chat. But when it works (which is almost always), boy is it nice.

Haven’t tried Revolt and I likely can’t because of the network effect already mentioned by someone else. How does it compare in ease of use, ease of setting up, feature set for free users, etc.?

My bet is on Musk taking Trump’s place.

Nearly all existing media (radio, songs, TV, movies, YouTube videos, …) will eventually lose its appeal, as (for new born people at least) it will effectively be in a foreign language, that uses a completely separate mode of communication. You can’t share Back to the Future with anyone new anymore.

But all of Star Wars gets a remaster with a CGI light-speech dub.

Is this even true? I am fairly sure that Linux also has a graceful shutdown process, but I’ll admit I haven’t looked into it.

I think it’s funny for the exact same reason that this xkcd is funny: https://xkcd.com/1168/

Floppy disk. Fight me.

Voyager error. It’s a gif of Star Trek, I think.

Don’t know, never been :P

I meant her. Mike and his guitar; Sarah and her violin; The computer and its speakers.

“its” is comparable to “his” or “her”, not to e.g. “Dave’s”.

Going to concerts. It’s too loud and it’s crowded, I just don’t see the appeal.

And while we’re at it, dancing. It’s unnatural, I tell you!

When a country goes to war, internal conflicts (i.e. left wing vs. right wing) are forgotten, or at least put on hold, and everyone is suddenly on the same page.

I haven’t seen them, but based on your description, I think this xkcd explains how these movies were conceived:

Dang, I definitely remember this scene and it’s been ages since I’ve seen this show.

Fascinating!

Nah, my .de means nothing, it was just an arbitrary choice of instance for me.

Was changing your name not possible back then, or were you just not aware that it’s possible?

… a calculator, an electronic translator, an alarm clock, a video games console, an infinite DVD player, a spirit level, a personal weather forecaster, …

oh and I also think it can make telephone calls

I’m out of the loop, is that a thing? Best I know is that it’s highly manageable with treatment, not cured.

Wait, how old is consumer satnav? I am pretty sure it was available (albeit not too commonplace) when I was a kid in the late 90’s or early 2000’s. I really do take it for granted… As long as my government doesn’t deliberately scramble it for security reasons, which happened a lot in the past year.
