Where did you get this idea from? In British English 11th of December is more common. I’m open to the idea that American English does it differently and that’s fine but to assert that the entire English speaking world does it like that is incorrect and ignorant.
So you wanna play some basketball?
My school in the 90s had to ban watching the Encarta Basketball video. We’re in the UK and don’t really have much of a basketball culture but students flocked to the computer room every day to watch it because of the novelty of seeing a video play on a computer monitor.
I also think I remember the earthquake video, I think Encarta 95 had about 6 videos…
Yahoo is legitimately still a big deal in Japan, I was surprised to find out recently
Yeah, I think it’s a completely different company that owns it now. What’s strange is that it looks a lot more like the 90s Yahoo than it does in the rest of the world.
I was Time Person of the Year in 2006.
The thing I like about the original Star Wars trilogy is not that they were great stories, but just that they had really, really good pacing. The characters and scenarios were introduced at just the right rate so that when the big action scenes came around you really cared about them, especially in the first one. That’s also where the later films fell down. I don’t consider myself a huge Star Wars fan, but I would say it’s worth appreciating for the art of it even if you already know the stories.
Can my current drives be placed into storage and returned 5 years later, or do they have to be destroyed? That makes a big difference.
First thing would be to seriously look into data compression, and live with heavily lossy-compressed media (my music collection would be ring-fenced though). Throw out backups of physical media (take the chance on disc-rot); I guess any backups wouldn’t be possible in this universe anyway so it will all be left to chance. And then see what’s left.
Is it 100 GB in addition to what I already have saved or 100 GB of total storage? Because if it’s 100 GB of total storage then I wouldn’t be thinking about downloading, I’ll be thinking about what I want to keep.

I didn’t think folks actually care about ads as much as you think. This place is a bubble in that regard.
Nothing to do with ads for me, it’s user tracking.
I agree that AGI is dangerous but I don’t see LLMs as evidence that we’re close to AGI, I think they should be treated as separate issues.
That’s my question too, do they not have a secret ballot in the US? If they do (and I’m pretty sure they do) my advice to OP is to deny who they voted for until they can get to safety, “was just joking about voting Harris” is a perfectly reasonable lie if your safety is threatened, the family would have no proof or way of finding out.
.org was always intended for miscellaneous sites that don’t fit anywhere else, I think that’s the most appropriate. I mainly remember this from back in “the day” but here’s a source I’ve just found to back me up: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1591
I’m not a big fan of the “new” generic TLDs like .world, they’re not part of my hill, I don’t really care what they’re used for but I think we could do without them. Most Lemmy instances should really be .org in my ideal scheme of things.
Still I’d ideally like .com addresses to be reserved for commercial entities and, while we’re here, US-specific sites to more widely use .us. Just to acknowledge I know this is a very pedantic hill.
I only browse by subscribed because I don’t subscribe to communities with “memes” and “shitposts”, if a community has too many of them I unsubscribe to them.
Immediately thought of this:
A screenshot I took for whatever reason in 2006, it’s quite a relic.
All the time. For websites that are no longer online, it’s invaluable, what’s the alternative?
Things which happened get forgotten because they’re deleted. If something like Internet Archive exists that’s no longer a problem.
We might say December the 11th as well but that’s definitely the less common of the two.
