No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

No, it's a PR move. Why would anyone use Firefox 12.0 when Chrome is so obviously more advanced with a fast release cycle sitting at version 120+?
Let's use hash values for versioning. Big numbers go bigger! Joking aside, I totally believe that there are people who would think bigger numbers means more advanced, and it's depressing.
that's the reason why we got Xbox 360 instead of Xbox 2
My memory is hazy here, but I was under recollection that Microsoft opted not to call it the Xbox 2 because it coincided with the release of the PlayStation 3, and since three is more than two, obviously the PlayStation is better. And as much as I absolutely hate Microsoft, I almost can't blame them. Remember that a&w lost to McDonald's because people thought a 1/3 lb hamburger was less than a 1/4 lb hamburger. People are fucking stupid.
That's exactly what the other commenter was suggesting
But then we got the Xbox One
It was going to be the 513, but we got an overflow error instead.
XBone thank you
The XBone SAD was my favorite console
Yeah I never seemed to understand the naming scheme for Xbox consoles, because what came after the 360 is... the Xbox One. It's technically the third one.
And then there's Nintendo with all their silly home console names. It didn't get consistent until the Wii and Wii U, and even then, that was thrown out the window immediately after. At least the handhelds were pretty consistent in their naming.
