I don't think they were complaining about the design. It invoked a memory of a beloved video game studio from the past that had a similar logo (Westwood Studios) and they are a bit heartbroken. I didn't take their comment as an actual complaint against VideoLAN's logo.

(Also, antipope is a subjective word, like heretic. From the perspective of various sects, the Pope Francis is the antipope.)

I thought the Church claimed an unbroken line of popes going back to the apostle Peter.

Wouldn't any competitor only have a legitimate claim if they named their first pope during the brief downtime between popes? Otherwise they're just another protestant sect.

Why isn't that just 2nd person plural, like "y'all"?

xjack is one of my all-time favorite programs.

Shit, it'd be good money for the US weapons suppliers to fund those cheap drones that generate multimillion dollar sales for them.

Stupid? Maybe if verifying "facts" is your sole metric. I know people who aren't very media savvy who fall for some stupid propaganda, but they could empty my car's engine bay and put it back together again and have it cranking the same day. Or you can drop them in any body of water in a 250km radius and they'll know what fish can be caught there and be able to hook an edible-sized one in half an hour or less. We don't all have the same skill sets, but we ain't all "stupid".

Chili dogs are really just a savory pie.

Oof. You made a conscious decision to be like this.

Lemmy is filled with leftists and geeks. They're the same demographic.

There are more women than men

Also, 1 is correct if we consider significant figures. It may be slightly less, but rounded to the nearest whole number is most certainly 1.

Some examples are mentioned in this article

I've tasked an AI with monitoring the content in this community to see if it can determine what the actual rule is. So far, it has only ever responded with "INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER".

Do you understand how averages work?

If there are 8 billion people on this world and each one has one skeleton in them, then the average number of skeletons is one. If even one of those 8 billion people have two skeletons in them, then the average is slightly more than one.

So the average is more than one for pregnant people, but also for all people as a whole.

That's how we write it in Italy, but northern, so I guess yes, it's a German thing.

It may be a regional thing. I learned English while I was in the states and we learnt "six hundred and fifteen" if you're saying the digit-place words (hundred, thousand, etc), but "six fifteen" would also be correct. "Six hundred fifteen" was acceptable, but not preferred, and "six and fifteen" is not used.

In short, it’s intelligence and social learning replacing learning in evolutionary time that made humans successful, possibly to the point of self destruction.

So basically Agent Smith was right. We are a disease, a cancer of this planet.

The Vanity Fair article that invented furries.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 until they bricked it. Current Samsung ZFold5 is a decent 2nd, though.
