Iirc Columbus believed that the world was smaller than what his contemporaries believed, so he believed he could make the trip
There was a video that showed him arriving to america but the view of the map was inclined and rotated in such a way that made Cuba look like Japan and Florida like southeast Asia.
That made me realize how easily you could be confused at the time, especially when the maps weren’t as perfectly drawn as they are today

Same. I have a gaming PC with Windows 11 only use it for gaming. Everything else, I do it on my laptop.
Nowadays games that don’t run are rare but they still exist. One of my favorite games, BF1, sadly stopped working on Linux after they introduced anti cheat (on the other hand, at least now there are no cheaters spamming artillery)
I also have a meta quest and the best software to link the headset to the PC, Virtual Desktop, sadly also doesn’t work on linux
Apple does spy on you, but unlike Google and Microsoft, they don’t sell your data.

Truth is that most people don’t really care about this. Game preservation is niche. This petition failed because there isn’t enough interest.
The type of people that would watch videos about this are also the type of people that are already invested in this topic. People that didn’t sign the petition are people that don’t even know, or care, about this.
That said, piratesoftware did misrepresent the movement, and I’ll take that into account if someday one of his videos pops up in my feed
I’ve been reading the other comments and you’re not the type of person I would enjoy talking with. Thus why I deleted my comment.

It would also mean a huge hit on their own tech sector, if not near wipeout.
It’s one of those situations that, sure, they could, just like a monkey could purposely snap the branch where he and his friend are sitting on and both fall.
As for Europe, yes, it would be a painful transition, but eventually it could build its own infrastructure anyway
Sell it for cheap to barbecue houses
Or - bear with me here - it’s just a funny detail and people are laughing about it. Because any sea is obviously going to be north of it
Uh, if that was drawn today, people would accuse it of being AI made.
No point or anything here, just a random thought that came to me
this feels like the bear situation but on a smaller scale lol
OP after being kicked out of his home so that the landlord can rent it in airbnb: “well at least the economy is booming!”
