Wait, Bill is a first name too.

Does this mean I can name my hypothetical child Dinar?

So, basically the description of dystopia as seen in 1984 is applied differently depending on which country you live in, but it still technically exists everywhere. And that's just depressing.

Also the currency of Vietnam.

I genuinely thought that what comes after "well done" is "congratulations"

We could make an anti-MEMRI.

The Hebrew letter Chet does indeed correspond to the Arabic letter ح which makes the hard H sound. Since most Hebrew speakers cannot pronounce it, the closest sound to them is KH (also represented by the letter Kuf, Arabic equivalent is خ), thus when they try to pronounce "Hamas", they end up saying "KHAMASSS". And no, Chet is not the only Hebrew letter affected by a sound change like this, but it's the relevant one because it's used in the Hebrew spelling of "Hamas".

Hope that makes it make more sense.

Google Nose?

(Yes, that was real, and yes, that was an April Fools joke)

And now I wish I was in the EU, at least so that Big Tech doesn't shit on me repeatedly.

I still rely on it for the Google Assistant, possibly the only Google related thing I still use that isn't YouTube.

And no, I'm not switching to Gemini.

Guys, I'm actually getting nostalgic over the messy-but-still-kinda-fun 2010s. Everything was just so much more exciting back then, and if it was absolute garbage, it was still fun to make fun of it (cough cough 2013 Mac Pro, garbage quite literally).

Yeah, it was no "sunshine and lollipops" timeline, but still, over the literal boring hell of the 2020s, it was LEAGUES better.

 

The scene shows up at about the 4:52 mark. I just thought it was funny.

 

I've had a pretty poor experience with it myself, so I wanna see what the Linux community thinks about this.

 

Screenshot is from a video by Global Things on YouTube. I kinda have to say this, because f*** plagiarism.

 

This guy has always scared me as a kid
