I’d recommend against it. Seems to cause my father no end of headaches
That’s probably true. My father has been developing in COBOL since the '70s. I didn’t bother learning it because I was under the impression that he was being paid more for experience than his basic skills.
There may be, but as far as I can tell, they won’t pay what the people that still need COBOL are willing to pay
You missed the banks tripping over themselves to find a COBOL programmer. My father makes stupid amounts of money (read, $400-$1600 per hour) maintaining bank COBOL systems. My father is in his 70s.
COBOL is almost as much of a PITA as Lisp, but no one, not even the US Military that developed Lisp will pay the really big bucks to maintain it.
I had no issues identifying it, and was quite pleased that they actually showed fedoras. People confuse trilbys for fedoras far too frequently.

I assume there’s a decent chance that there are some Linux users that would feel similarly since there are 25 distros that are similar to XP
Edit: re: your username, if you haven’t read Robert Aspirin’s Myth series, starting with Another fine Myth, you really should do yourself a favor and read them. They’re spoof fantasy. Funny and magical.
Before that we had ‽:-)
I have to agree. The Macintosh 128k didn’t even have an internal HDD. Everything was run on 3.5" floppies. Heck they may have invented the 3.5" floppy, idk. As you said, dragging the system dick icon to the trash on a 128k was literally the easiest way to eject the disk.
My father still owns one, that may actually work. He also got 2 extra external floppy drives for the thing. He also has an Apple ]|[
SCP should be able to secure the keyboard anomaly
The original “Internet Explorer” icon was a globe and magnifying glass, with the text “The Internet,” underneath
Unfortunately, since I refuse to use any iShit products, I can troubleshoot Windows or Linux just fine. Don’t ask me about iOS. It’s nothing but a PITA

Probably not helpful to you, but there’s a patch if anyone else needs it
Another point for GMT, in the mid '70s, the US went onto DST year round for a couple years. People hated it so much they changed back to switching the time.
If we wanna do away with DST and BST, we need to go back to standard time, as the later sunset in the summer translates to no sunlight for workers in the winter

Like this madman
“In 2015, despite not speaking French, Richards won the French World Scrabble Championships, after reportedly spending nine weeks studying the French dictionary. He won it again in 2018, and multiple duplicate titles from 2016.”
That’s where the term comes from originally. The song Stan. Then in the mid '00s and '10s the K-Pop fans got so aggressive they started referring to them as “armies” and “Stans.”
A “Stan” is a super fan that is so obsessed that they’ll do irrational things if they feel that they or their obsession is being threatened.
The middle one reminds me of Elan from The Order of the Stick
The US promptly forgot that Ukraine existed once they gave Russia their nukes back, and didn’t bother to think about them again until Russia invaded. The major exception being Hunter Biden, and he has never been in politics so he doesn’t count.

Stealing it one piece at a time seems to be celebrated by the same generation of people that are concerned about copying media
What about left and right?
