       @aral: I've had my misgivings about Adobe for a long time, but it was for other reasons, in particular Flash (when that was still a thing) and PDFs before they became more usable on Linux.So it's not surprising to me to see them being objectionable in other ways.

       @nkizz: My pet Poettering-related hate isn't for systemd, it's for PulseAudio. I've had more problems with that than anything else in Linux except for graphics drivers.

       Something I never noticed as a child which seems really bizarre now is that Bullfrog's Theme Park was actually sponsored by a now-defunct British bank. The parents in the intro even have the logo of the bank on their sofa!#themepark #msdos #retrogaming

       @nkizz: The Magnavox Odyssey was developed by Ralph Baer at Sanders Associates, which was a military electronics manufacturer.Lockheed Martin developed the Sega Model 2 and Model 3 hardware.Nokia started as a paper manufacturer and also made rubber boots; the rubber manufacturer survives as a separate company.

       @nkizz: I dunno, 100 degrees outside over here would be pretty damn hot.

       @tek: Ah, misread the prompt - thought byte rather than bit.

       @tek: That having been said, "You're nicked!", as in arrested, turns into "You're licked!", which is rather more suggestive.

       @BlueGrits @georgetakei: I did the mathematics in 2016; there were three states in particular where the votes for the Green Party would have swung the election for Hillary Clinton.I'm the first person to criticise first-past-the-post and the ridiculous Electoral College, but I think the fact that voters for Jill Stein were in a position to push for an imperfect, but certainly more ideal candidate than Trump makes their votes look all the worse now.
