deciphering digimon media naming schemes in the US is so confusing

"digimon tamers" is the same as "digimon season 3"
but neither is "digimon tamers season 3"

"digimon the first 3 movies" is the same as
"digimon the movie (US)"

it's like parsing date formats

"When history marks the point where we lost the future to China, this will be it."

US liberals try not to be oddly Sinophobic challenge.
Difficulty: impossible.

Yes, I am familiar with the issues.
No, I don't understand why someone would have an existential crisis over them making their own cars.

i heard there was a secret ooze
that turned four reptiles into dudes
but you don't really care for turtles do ya

they battle crime throughout the night
as splinter taught them how to fight
and from the sewers came a cowabunga

cowabunga, cowabunga
cowabunga, cowa-buuu-ngaaa ~🎵

When Mac OS X's Aqua user interface was first revealed, the current shipping consumer version of Windows was Windows 98SE 🤯

There really is no comparison to software reveals today

You know, I actually wonder how many people don't actually realize that social media sites like Twitter didn't exist in 2001. Fully grown adults exist who have never known a world without them, and I imagine it's very easy for anyone about 25 years old or younger to not really believe those of us who were here for their rise when we say that nothing like them existed at the time, even on the internet.

UPDATE: Confirmed! It's real! See ayumi's lsusb dump: https://transfem.social/notes/a9j1rc059tdj0vpx

Today in vendors slipping single bits (or single bit!) of information into weird places:

I am *completely* certain that Google once made a USB-C audio adapter that has a *different USB PID* depending on whether it has something plugged into it.

I am somewhat certain that it's 18d1:5025 with something plugged in, and 18d1:5029 without.

@ayumi

@dramforever@mastodon.social I have this one. When it’s not connected to anything `lsusb` output looks like this: ``` Bus 003 Device 005: ID 18d1:5029 Google Inc.

If anyone has this adapter and is interested in this useless research, please send screenshots lsusb or device manager for this. Thank you so much. I need this.

@stroughtonsmith coming from Windows to Mac shortly after that Expose blew my mind.

@stroughtonsmith if I could choose I would go back to that windows 98 style in a heartbeat. It’s so simple and clear, keyboard shortcuts are obvious and advertised in front of you, buttons are unapologetically buttons, the checkmark is simple and clear and it’s not a massive toggle switch that uses a ton of space without improving clarity and always behaving weirdly…

@illogical_me @stroughtonsmith I wish Microsoft would have had the confidence to go with the original Windows Whistler (XP) Beta aesthetic. It was great refinement of the 90s Windows style. Adding slight depth and colour, but not too much.
