Actually, from what I can tell in my brief 15-minute internet search, every version of Windows since NT has accepted both because DOS 2.0 supported both. The exception to this was Command Prompt. But, these days, it supports both. Not sure when they made that change in Command Prompt, but I think it’s been that way since at least Windows 7.

Technically, Windows understands both / and \. I personally always use / just because it’s easier to type that.

Yeah, I think Firefox’s translation feature is technically still in beta.

Firefox has translation now, too, on both mobile and desktop.

And you can optionally add the Google Translate extension to desktop Firefox if you want. (It really is convenient, isn’t it?)

And you can always just plug in the URL of whatever page you’re trying to translate directly into https://translate.google.com/.

In general, yeah. Private torrent trackers tend to focus on specific types of content. Some might focus on cartoons. Some might focus on anime. Some focus on books. Some focus on video games. Public trackers, on the other hand, generally focus on everything, which, of course, means they won’t have a lot of the older or more niche stuff, and they might be lacking in one or more categories (music, anime, books, TV, etc.).

It’s also much less likely that a torrent on a private tracker will die because most private trackers enforce certain rules about seeding and because the people there are generally much more into seeding than most people on a public tracker. (Probably most people on public trackers simply download what they need and stop before seeding anything back.)

Private trackers are also typically the first (and sometimes only) places to get scene releases. Scene releases, which are done by private groups, are usually higher quality than stuff on public trackers. Sometimes, they leak onto a public tracker, but not usually.

Eh, Aniwave was a pretty big one for the anime community. From what I understand, it’s the one most people fled to after KissAnime was taken down. Aside from that, I’ve never heard of any of the other sites they mentioned.

Me waiting for the next “mothership” to pop up so I can use it:

Aniwave (formerly known as 9anime) was, from what I understand, the site most people fled to after KissAnime bit the dust.

If Lemmy had gold, I’d give it to you.

And parsecs measure distance, not time, and yet here we are.

There’s plenty of spacewalks in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. They don’t have gravity there and instead have to use thrusters or magnetized boots.

Now where’s that comic…

Ah, found it!

I just call them communities. That’s what I’ve seen others use.

FYI, there was no “conversation so far”. That was the first thing I’ve ever asked “Rufus”.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought of that song. XD

I’m not quite that young. Netizen is a “citizen of the internet”, IIRC. More specifically, it’s a portmanteau of “internet” and “citizen”.

I had also heard what the meaning of GIF was, though not so often that I could remember it off the top of my head.

I’m not quite as old as the JPG format, but I do still remember using dial-up. I still remember accidentally logging into the internet when my dad was on the phone one day. I could hear his voice through the computer speakers. I immediately closed the browser. It was something that’d, surprisingly, never happened while I was on the computer before.

Yeah, but it’s almost always used for animations. Seeing one that’s not animated just feels… weird.

That’s… a great question. What’s the purpose of a gif with only one frame?

Because everyone has a different core temperature. So it really can’t be set value like 100°F.

Generally speaking, a fever of 100°F is “fine”, albeit completely exhausting and not at all fun, but it’s good for helping the body to fight infections.

Fevers higher than 102°F are when you need to start working on bringing that fever down. If it climbs higher than that, you risk brain injury. The proteins in your body will also start to denature (lose their ability to function) as your temperature climbs, including proteins that work within your brain and your nervous system.

If it continues to climb or won’t go down even after taking medicine, you need to call your doctor or go to the hospital.
