  I’d like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the truth behind Michaelsoft Binbows: youtu.be/yDzAAjzbV5g :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want me to heat that up in the "Michael Wave"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wot. That’s crazy. “Labtop” is harder to pronounce (minimally so but still) with voiced b immediately followed by voiceless t. Everything I know about linguistics (not that much, tbh) tells me that, if anything, a thing called “labtop” should over time evolve to be called “laptop”*, because it’s easier on the speaker with voiceless p and t.

  ^* … maybe even lappop…?^

  It does seem awfully like you’re implying a connection to the topic at hand.

  We’re all aware that that’s the original reason but the point is that the franchise made an effort to come up with an answer that makes sense in-universe.

  How exactly is this information helpful to law enforcement in this case?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS1 Games Now Playable on GameCube⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  … I know. I’m saying that I was taken aback at what the headline, to me, seemed to imply and that, imho, different wording might have been better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS1 Games Now Playable on GameCube⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t. It’s just what the headline sounded like to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS1 Games Now Playable on GameCube⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah. “There are now ways to run PS1 games on GameCube, if you’re into that sort of thing”, not “Nintendo has pushed a patch and upgraded the GameCube to somehow accept and play PS1 games”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla Firefox removes "Do Not Track" Feature support: Here's what it means for your Privacy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you wish to ask websites to respect your privacy, you can use the “Tell websites not to sell or share my data” setting. This option is built on top of the Global Privacy Control (GPC). GPC is respected by increasing numbers of sites and enforced with legislation in some regions.

  So is the difference that DNT was asking for no tracking at all while this GPC setting allows for tracking data to be created but not forwarded to third parties? That seems reasonable, not all “tracking” is malicious. Though I wonder why, if DNT isn’t respected, any other vaguely similar setting would be.

  What do pixels sound like?

  That and it streamlines the story, taking out the filler from the original anime and making it more fast-paced.

  Are there really a significant number of people who oh boy oh boy can’t wait to know what zany highjinks Ranma is up to next episode and NEEEEED to see it NOW? Ranma, of all things?
