Come on, almost two thirds of DB Fernverkehr’s trains are punctual (if you accept DB’s definition of punctuality, which allows six minutes of delay to still be counted as punctual).
Scott E. Fahlman proposed using :-) and :-( to mark jokes and not-jokes respectively in internet posts in 1982, and they (and lots of variations) have been in use ever since. IBM’s Codepage 437 character set (as used by the original PC) had two dedicated smiley characters even before that.
There was no golden age of the internet where there were no emoticons.
US is probably the only country that went back on rail transport. Every other country is taking it as far as they possibly can.
I don’t know for other countries, but Germany (that has a decent high-speed rail network, to be fair) had a rail network of almost 55,000 km in the 50s and less than 40,000 today. More than 300 train stations have been closed since the year 2000 alone.

A developer evangelist is not a press person, but a developer that gives talks to other developers. I didn’t find any specific numbers, but Microsoft probably has hundreds of them. And anyway you wouldn’t expect that kind of announcement to be made by anyone who isn’t like C-level, in a presentation made specifically for that fact, accompanied by a big marketing campaign, and so on.
Windows 11 officially requires Secure Boot and TPM 2.0, but can easily be run with just TPM 1.2, and with some effort even without TPM. All the other system requirement increases (like single to dual core, 2 to 4 GB RAM, etc.) don’t really play a role for any recently built PC anyway.
But incorrectly quoted as “Microsoft promised…”. It was one low-tier Microsoft employee who said it once, in a side note of a conference talk that was not about the future of Windows.
Born in the early 80s, the 90s been my youth. Reading through the comments here I realize there’s nothing I miss from the 90s. Every single thing mentioned here has either been replaced by something better, or isn’t gone in the first place.
Mostly because they have to wait for Half-Life 3 in order not to confuse the customers.
As rikudou said, in the context of “The dev of X never anticipated this success and it being a long-term project even after release”, the dev is the company. And for the company, the CEO is the one who has to have a plan about the success of their projects and the future commitment to old products.
And as I said, in such a small company the CEO is not someone crunching numbers, restructuring departments and having meetings with partners all over the world all day. They are pretty much one of the dev team.
Colossal Order was a company of 13 people when Cities Skylines was released. It’s not like there is an out of touch CEO somewhere above 7 levels of management who has no clue what’s going on with the people actually developing the game.
I don’t think it’s the passport thing. The differences between European passports are minor, so in that matter you surely could accept all EU nationalities. If you really want the best ones, then Sweden, Finland, France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland are among the ones that bring you the farthest in the world, and those are not in the list, while Greece and Norway are less powerful passports, and the USA, Canada and Australia even less, and all of them are in the list.

Of course it could be one or multiple specific countries they want you to travel, but chances for that are low. Clearance sounds much more likely.
Not having 60 fps might be an issue for a shooter or anything that is built on fast reactions, but it doesn’t really sound like an issue in a city builder.
Isn’t Lemmy primarily a link sharing network?
I didn’t read it, so I didn’t share it initially, but this was the article I saw earlier:

No. There are studies about that, see e.g. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/misinformation-desk/202212/study-few-people-read-what-they-share for a more recent one. That’s also why Facebook, Twitter & Co at various times implemented various features trying to push you reading the stuff you post.
There’s a pepper mill in the foreground, so the one in the background is likely black zalt.
Same for me. And the individual games have prices > 0.
EDIT: 15 minutes later, now it works.
Given that in the very same post he wrote “we need to go back, way back, into the mists of time, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and we started working on TF2”, did you consider it could just be a joke?
Would you mind to name five of those hundreds of problems?
