The quote is misquoting the analogy. It is an infinite number of monkeys.

The point of the analogy is about randomness and infinity. Any page of gibberish is equally as likely as a word perfect page of Shakespeare given equal weighting to the entry if characters. There are factors introduced with the behaviours of monkeys and placement of keys, but I don’t think that is the point of the analogy.

Live forever or die trying

At a public awareness March in my country a speaker claimed COVID was racist because it disproportionately killed indigenous peoples.

You could argue that is correlation, where the cause was actually being unvaccinated. This was an antivax march, so obviously it was the government’s fault, not being unvaccinated.

Please quit with this tax write off misinformation.

They cut their losses. We don’t know the details why, but for some reason they decided it would cost too much in money or reputation to continue with marketing and release.

Not everything is a billionaire conspiracy. Sometimes they just realise they made a film too shit to release, or some person in a suit just wanted to spite someone.

Gog does now have a launcher, but you can still download the offline installer files for games.

Drag am using it?

It looks like a corroding bathroom mirror

Commandos! One of my favourites! Commandos 4 comes out soon I believe

I thought it was a great idea for official statements. Kind of like a new type of RSS feed.

Local transport companies can advertise delays, meteorology organisations can advertise natural disasters, police can post active missing person alerts, etc.

But it seems like it is just vapid narcissists thinking other people give a shit about their random thoughts.

If you start with the second one you won’t know what’s going on and feel like you’ve missed a bunch of important story.

This is how it felt after playing the first one as well. Half Life 2 is almost an unrelated game. The plots of the two barely line up.

Hang on, what is bad about the word moist? Some of my favourite things are moist!

What do mean regarding terrible names? “Moth” isn’t inherently a bad name; any negative connotations of the word come from the creature itself.

You should check out the BBC guidelines for subtitling. They are really good and include preserving the intent of the program, avoiding ambiguity, and not spoiling jokes with bad timing.

It wouldn’t be impossible that 12 is an improvement. 10 was an improvement on 8. I think, as always, it’ll never go back to a truely good OS, we will just get used to the crap bits.

I think windows is too entrenched in it’s own version history to make good again. You’d need to start from scratch which simply won’t happen within the windows brand.

10 was already deep into hiding settings and fragmenting the control panel.

11 is much worse.

The Red Dwarf bit on this is great

The good news is you get a four hour erection.
The bad news is that you die within two hours.

Except they kill humans all the time.

I think it’s just easier to accept that there is an unexplained reason why humans can generate some kind of power that’s useful to the machines for something at some point between the winning of the war at the point of the movies.

Just ignore the fourth movie.

I’ve never heard an ad mid-sentence. Surely that’s an error on the podcasters side. Don’t they have to mark the timecodes for ad placements?

I get it.

The actual offer is: “Starlink users will get free internet” but it’s been put forward as: “everyone gets free Starlink”

It’s the equivalent of corporations changing their Facebook profile picture to a rainbow. It basically costs then nothing, especially if affected areas have no electricity.
