I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MS WINDOWS HAS THE SEND-TO-BACK WINDOW MANAGEMENT FEATURE
All this time, I could just press Alt+Esc and my window would be sent to the back! If only I knew this back when I was a Windows user.
What if Windows also has always-on-top?

@fribbledom Provided focus is in the right place, you can actually do this by holding the spacebar, too.

@RevEricBurrowsStone Boosting is important when *you* are the algorithm!

@beyondmachines1 Sparaying attacks

@david_chisnall Yes, I'm contradicting them by citing a dictionary (multiple, actually). Sometimes the most educated people make the silliest decisions. It doesn't matter who contradicts basic facts. How many different sets of reproductive organs do humans have? Two. If you say otherwise, you're forgetting your basic definitions.

"and concluded that the Earth if [sic] flat as well" No, the Earth is round :)

@CM30 For sure, at least the family dog (and yours too by the look of it :) ). Funnily enough, our dog is pitch black and still likes it in the sun. I guess all the warmth helps her relax.

@david_chisnall
"either of the two major forms of individuals that occur in many species and that are distinguished respectively as female or male especially on the basis of their reproductive organs and structures" ~~ Merriam Webster

"either of the two categories (male or female) into which most organisms are divided" ~~ WordNet 2006

etc.
I'm not even talking about issues of gender in a social sense, I'm talking about biological sex.

@david_chisnall Sex is explicitly defined as sex chromosome XX = female, and sex chromosome XY = male. I kind of get how people can get confused on the issue of "gender", but there being two biological sexes is settled science.

@CM30 Dogs seem so happy in the sun

@Nazani @nixCraft Not just "start downloading all we can now", you can pretty easily grab a 20-21GB backup of the full text of #Wikipedia right now.

I have a few copies.

@CM30 As a programmer, I find these fun facts interesting.

Thanks Microsoft for just rebooting my computer (#VM in this case), closing my windows and ending my session, without my consent *_*
Not Windows 11, actually. I was feeling pretty good about Windows 10, looking back, but now I'm remembering some things less than fondly.

Wow. (For the website name and the fact about the ROM size of #SuperMarioBros) https://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/189519267315/the-size-of-the-super-mario-bros-rom-is-around-31

@micahilbery It looks so cool with that clear body.
