The first effects could be witnessed thirty years ago. But it's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. That's why the fossil fuel industry has moved the goal posts and introduced the "climate change is of all times, it's not caused by us" talking point, as demonstrated by Victor. But Victor is behind the times, the new one is "yes, we caused it but it's not a big deal".

Not GP, but: Realplayer compressed everything to hell, the quality was absolutely atrocious. I believe it was buggy as well.

Quicktime was a behemoth that took ages to launch. To speed things up, it liked to auto-load and be active in the system tray, slowing system start down even further and taking up precious ram on the off chance that you might want to watch a quicktime video. It also liked to register itself as the video player of choice for other formats, because why would you use a decent player if you can use a shitty one that was made by Apple? Fuck quicktime.

They're five months early for April fools.

That's correct. It's not just limited to computers or only two devices though.

I disagree that it is bad design. It's cheap and I also find it ugly, but it does get the job done just fine.

If you need any proof that pyramid schemes will never go away, just look at the number of downvotes.

And if you plan on trying different distributions, use Ventoy. It will create a bootable USB memory stick that you can copy your various ISO files to. When booting from it, you can then select which ISO to boot. Saves you from overwriting the same memory stick time and time again. Or having multiple memory sticks, one for each ISO.

Press ctrl+alt+esc. The cursor will change into a red skull and when you click a window, the process running it will be instakilled. Press esc again to cancel. That's much better than going through task manager, finding the right process and then killing it.

Most don’t even know what an IR is.

I'm glad I'm not a terminal emulator or I'd feel personally attacked.

On the flip side, it makes some people extremely wealthy. See, there's an upside to everything!
