Every hobby has it’s own terms or phrases. Playing video games is no different.

My goodness! I would would have loved to be in the room, known about it and be able to watch people’s expressions while this played out! XD

Oh I’m glad to hear this. I’m looking forward to watching it.

I thought so too. =)

What country are you from?

It’s women like this that help make the world a better and equal place to live. An inspiration for challenging the status quo for the betterment of others and ones self.

I do too!

I was curious what it might have turned out as if it were applied or played with in an art form. Here are some examples.

Holy cats!! I didn’t know about this and now I want it in my life ASAP.

I can understand the feeling that it seems so young. But If we take into account that the World Wide Web, a public network, (or in other words, a non-military/government/higher education based network,) started in 1989 and opened up to the public in 1993. As for U.S. American’s (and probably other countries as well), the internet infrastructure wasn’t wasn’t well established and ready to take on 10’s of millions of WWW users daily. It wasn’t until 1996 in the U.S., where we would have around 3,750,000 internet service users. (Using the population info from here for the rough estimate.) And according to the graph below, it wasn’t until about midway through 2001 when the U.S. crossed over the 50% population with internet access.

So what I’m highlighting here is that, Wikipedia.org going live in 2001 is actually impressive for it’s time. And it’s old in comparison to a lot of main-stay websites. Also, remember Wikipedia wasn’t asking for users to pay a monthly subscription or have to deal with seeing ads on the platform. So server costs even then, were being funded in other ways. All of that to me is seriously impressive.

Thank you.

And thank you all for sharing such a wide variety of content here. It’s been fun and intriguing year of reading and learning via this community. =)

Happy New Year everyone! May 2026 be a good year for you.

That’s interesting. Trump and his cronies aren’t in this article.

But on a more serious note. I was surprised to not find any Asian country cities mentioned. In particular, Tokyo.

Good catch. Thank you!

And to add to it. Amazon introduces video on demand service Amazon Video in September 7th of 2006. Youtube then merged Google on October 9. Perhaps Google had seen the desire for on-demand movies, and TV shows and wanted to grow Youtube to host that feature as well.

Me learning about the difference.

🤘 TIL

And some are still missing e.g. Mendel Polar Station

I wasn’t able to find any information indicating that this station was lost, missing, etc. on the Wikipedia link you shared. Have I overlooked something?

Yeah, sorry about the lack of an actual wiki link. I was up later than I should have been and sleep deprived when I posted.

Way more than I thought and way more in the interior of the continent than I thought too. Honestly I assumed there were none.

I felt the same way. I always thought there were under 15 active stations nowadays. And of those, I figured there were only 5-6 that were active year long. Boy, was I surprised when I learned the true amount!

It sadly does not. IIRC: lemmy.world devs removed this function a few updates ago because it was using up a lot of server CPU. I’d like for them to resolve it in the next update.
