Is that so different than in previous generations? Even back in the C64 era most kids just played games from disks they bought.
If you got into computers any time from the mid-90s, you would have been using Windows and that's it.
Smartphones always came with their predetermined OS without a command line or programming tools on them. (There where apps for that on many systems, but in general, that wasn't a thing most users used.)
From the 80s on, programming wasn't required to use a PC and most users never learned it.
In general, people would just use pre-made software, because they use a PC/smartphone as a tool to do what they want to.
It's kinda like with any other tools. People buy a hammer because they need to get a nail into a wall. Only very few people are interested in a hammer itself and get into the art of making their own tools.
That's why the prisons here all offer free education and job training. You can also do an university degree for free while in there. (It's free when you aren't in prison too.)
Probably that was before Samsung offered 5 years of updates. And if the tablet was a bit outdated, it would have easily been outside of the software EOL date.
That's why you should always go for phones/tablets that have been released this year and not take an outdated one. Not for the specs, but for the software support duration.
Over here there is a food discounter that also has a tiny electronics corner, where they have "great" deals. You can often get phones and tablets for less than half of the MSRP. The issue is, that all of them are either out of software support or close to it. A while ago they sold a cheap iPhone that had one month of software support left. And on iPhone, most apps only run on the currently newest iOS version. So a month after buying that iPhone, the user would lose access to most of their apps.
The article talks about PCBs, by which they mean polychlorinated biphenyls, that leak out.
A much more common meaning for the same acronym is Printed Circuit Bords, which are these green/blue/black/red (rarely other colors) boards that e.g. hold most computer components and connect them to each other. Pretty much anything that's called a board in a computer and other electronic devices is a PCB.
PCBs don't melt, so if your PC is leaking PCBs (as in Printed Circuit Boards) something must have seriously gone wrong.
Nothing wrong with a joke chart, and as such it isn't bad at all.
I was just answering to the commenter before me who asked how true the chart is. And if you want to know whether the chart is factually correct that Finland is the (heir of) the Roman Empire, then the answer has to be no.
But all in all, it's a ship-of-Theseus situation. Is something the Roman Empire if it doesn't contain Rome, consists of land that was never occupied by Romans, uses a language that wasn't spoken in the Roman Empire, doesn't have any societal or political connections to the Roman Empire, doesn't call itself the Roman Empire and ultimately is no empire?
In the case of Russia and then Finland it's a case of "I once touched someone who touched someone who touched someone who touched the Queen, so I am now the Queen."
And calling the Western Roman Empire illegitimate (even though it contained Rome) and then the Ottomans too, but calling the Russian Empire (which never had anything to do with the Roman Empire) legitimate is more than questionable.
All in all, a fun little meme, but no factual basis to back it up.
The "mods" you are taking about are actually the developers. They develop the software and run one instance, but they aren't the ones running this instance and this community.
This instance is ttrpg.network. It's run by the admins of this instance, which are in no way affiliated with the developers.
And this community (RPGmemes) is run by the mods of this community, who got chosen by being the first ones to open this community.
The admins can remove moderators, but most of the time the moderators do their own thing unless they do something to damage the instance.
The mods in many communites are new and/or not used to run a community with a lot of members, so rules and punishments aren't always consistent. You are not on a commercial site with long-standing moderation.
