And it has been for almost 22 years.

Linux is not a corporation, there is no boot to lick.

What a wild take. I’m genuinely baffled that someone thought that “Linux bootlickers” was a remotely salient thing to say.

YYYY-MM-DD if I’m inputting on a computer.

But I’ve recently converted to YYYY-MMM-DD for anything handwritten.

Because if someone is able to confuse 2024-APR-27 then they’re the problem.

But the former format is better for digital sorting.

In my opinion, this title is somewhat misleading, maybe even clickbait when you consider how many games are actually shutting down.

Should by My Last Days of Animal Crossing. The game isn’t shutting down or going anywhere.

Glad I’m not crazy. Or at least I’m not the only crazy one. Bear’s ears look like Ackbar’s eyes.

In case anyone wants to compare

That’s fair, but I feel like the point is that many people go through a process where

1. You pay money
2. The buttons on your screen say “buy” “purchase” “check-out” or something else to that effect

That feels like buying media, so according to the common “consumer” (hate that word) brain, you are spending money to buy content.

At the same time, media corps have been trying to teach us for years that piracy is exactly the same as stealing.

The whole point of the shorthand is to explain that these are not facts, they’re misconceptions, AND both of these misconceptions exist for the same reason, corporate propaganda.

Mr. McMuscles always seems to get his hands on the most interesting details. I look forward to every release he makes.
