Can you stop spamming that everywhere? Make a post if you want to.

Also, punctuation is your friend.

That’d be trademark, not copyright.

Doubt it, they were more likely using md5sum files in 1999.

Not sure why the scare quotes around IDF.

Russia invaded as a disguise for support for Ukraine?

That’s an “interesting” take.

Nah. It’s got a big fat [citation needed] from me.

10% of people? Sure I’d believe that 10 % of people have transferred data using fax technology at least once in the past year or something. But 10% of households, and you can’t count email to-fax gateways?

No way.

That’s the point I was trying to make:

It’s a weird thing because DOGE of government could be argued to be a false cognate because you could interpret it to have a meaning that was never intended…but you kind of have to stretch it.

And DOGE Shiba Inu as Musk intends it (shitty “fellow kids”/“hur hur space sex boring company” meme) is a false friend but not a false cognate.

But Doge as OP wrote it, he’s correct and it’s a true cognate.

Anyway, I think we’re pretty well in violent agreement and there’s not much else to say. Cheers!

All good. I used to make a strong distinction between “video games” and “computer games” and at the time it was true but now the line has blurred to the point that the distinction is in interface style and the scale between reliability and versatility.

Nah. They might do it from work or maybe by email gateway.

Hell it’s only even possible for the 27% of homes that still have a landline. There’s just no way.

There’s not a lot of video games that don’t have software.

You’d have to back to what, Pong? I see Monaco GP from 1979 listed as one of the last TTL-based games from Sega, but not sure about other companies.

Seems crazy to me. I can’t imagine that 1 in 10 household even have fax machines. All the stuff you mention is business and medical stuff. Nobody faxes in their medical requests from home.

People can't "still" be doing something that they were NOT doing before!

An individual cannot but a group of people can.

“Children are still fascinated by sticks” is as true as always, even though the individual children have mostly grown up, grown old, and died.
