Like, saying to your mate down the pub "Oh you should get on Jabber" versus "You should get on ecks em pee pee"
One of these words sounds like a thing for talking about whatever with your mates, the other sounds like a thing for bollocking around with config files so you can talk to other people who bollock around with config files about bollocking around with config files

🐧 As we all know, early intervention is important. Schools are overwhelmingly teaching children to use proprietary software, which in addition to being against the spirit of liberation in computing, can be considered basically equivalent to a competition-stifling government handout to already-rich corporations, ensuring their customer base into the next generation.
🐧 Unfortunately I myself have been banned from the premises but if anybody else wants to bring up ANUS to their local school board at the next meeting,

🦊 Well, you didn't like Mister Fingers so,
🐴 Aye I didn't

@Batarea @LaVi dai, i lettori/masterizzatori CD/DVD usb si trovano ancora abbastanza facilmente (ho appena controllato e il mio solito negozio ne ha due modelli, entrambi all'incirca da 40 euro).
e se si conoscono le persone giuste un tentativo di lettura di floppy (anche in formati esoterici), nastri o quant'altro lo si fa, e spesso ha anche successo, anche se non è stato conservato ottimamente.
in compenso col digitale una volta che hai fatto con successo quella copia, se decidi che quel file vale la pena di essere conservato sei a posto: è vero che devi tenerlo copiato su supporti nel tempo, ma il costo per fare queste copie è minimo.
Per contro, un vinile durerà anche più di un cd, ma è pur sempre un pezzo di plastica che ad un certo punto degrada, e per di più ogni volta che viene letto lo si rovina un pochettino, e va conservato correttamente per non farlo deformare, e siccome è un formato analogico se lo si copia su altri formati analogici ad ogni passaggio si degrada ulteriormente.

Tutti, in Italia, a dileggiare la nazionale africana per i suoi (soli) 500000 abitanti. Ma quando nel 2018 l'Islanda, che ne aveva meno di 400000, fece lo stesso, non ricordo simili polemiche.
