Sexty was just right there!!
How many are used to run Java?
There is a point on the scale at which a quantity of something stops making sense. Some sextillion transistors, billions of Java devices, and so on. I always found such statistics weird, as it is just too hard to imagine the numbers. It is far easier to rationalise logically.
The basis for digital computing, that has been aggressively miniaturised and multiplied for decades? Yes, I believe those would be absurdly abundant.
A programming language designed to be platform independent, around the dawn of portable computing? I am sure it must have found its way to a lot of devices.
Relieved to know I was not the only one who misread “fit”.
I heard this joke for the first time a few weeks back on an episode of The Penguin. :D
4·3 days agoNot just song lyrics, but any piece of media
rant
This is horribly rampant issue on Reddit. Swaths of comments reduced to three-word dialogues from movies that even most Americans may not have seen.
While it might be acceptable in a community specific to that piece of media, it always comes across as lazy everywhere else.
A simple link to a relevant clip or snippet would help contextualise the reference, but if commenters were willing to put in that effort, they probably wouldn’t resort to quoting three-word phrases in the first place.
Unfortunately, this practice is becoming common on Lemmy.
Some might see my rant as gatekeeping, but it genuinely hinders meaningful discussion on the topic at hand.
It is a pet peeve of mine that led me to unsubscribe from many, otherwise good, subreddits and eventually leave that platform altogether (thanks to a push from its CEO).
“… as of August 2024” is literally front and centre in the image.
Lot of knee jerk reaction here, to the point of not donating and abandoning the greatest collective effort made on the Internet.
The specific suspended page directly relates to an ongoing lawsuit, where WikiMedia is the defendant.
Also, Streisand effect much? :D
