No problem. :)

I also just feel like I'm not writing words for the fun of it. They're chosen to convey information in a very intentional way to a given target group. Like, just now in that previous sentence, I changed "in a certain way" to "in a very intentional way", because that's more precisely what I wanted to say. I try to convey lots of nuances in relatively few words.
That's my #1 criticism of LLMs, that they just blather on and on. And ultimately, precise nuance requires understanding the topic, the context and the target group, which, if you'd describe it to an LLM, would take longer than to write the actual text itself.
You say that like anyone knows how Fahrenheit even works.
I mean, yeah, I am also assuming that she was no expert on the matter. We're saying that it was an understandable opinion for a lay person or even someone who kept up with the bigger titles. It certainly wasn't easy back then to know about all kinds of games...
Not a parent, but personally I would also err on the side of correcting them, as they're still heavily exploring the world. Partially, they're figuring out the world by making statements they believe to be wrong and do actually want you to confirm that they're wrong.
But yeah, if they're throwing a tantrum, they may rather be looking for more input than that. More attention or a playfight of wits even, so to speak.
Asking them "why?" as many others suggested, seems like a good start here.
Personally, I would also try just feeding them tons of information, like if they say that snow isn't white, tell them that it is, because it reflects all the wavelengths of light. Obviously, they won't understand what that actually means, but it gives them something to think about and in the sense of the playfight, they'll be satisfied, too (i.e. defeated and learned something).
Nah, FOSS stands for "free and open-source software". There was a time before paid software was a thing, so the "free" there stands for freedom.
In a lot of ways, it means the same as open-source (access to source code and allowed to modify+redistribute it), but it's more idealistic and political, looking to prevent software from restricting what users can do.
Ist mir persönlich schon auch als exorbitant dröge hängen geblieben, wenn man das alleine macht. Wenn man zu zweit ist, dauert es direkt nur noch halb so lang und man kann währenddessen quatschen + Quatsch machen.
Und es ist eben auch gerne mal so, dass wenn man das alleine macht, dass es eigentlich auch andere Leute gäbe, die ohne Probleme helfen könnten, aber sich stattdessen in der Küche versammelt haben und lieber da quatschen.
Yeah, these days it's obvious that video games are the next logical step in media consumption. First we had audio. Then we had audio+video. Now we have audio+video+interaction. You can literally watch a movie inside of a video game, if you care to.
But back then, the audio and video qualities of games weren't yet terribly developed. You could still easily find board games, or heck, sports, that were more complex than Pac-Man and Space Invaders.
I can definitely see that one would think, it's a novelty and not be able to imagine how cineastic games would become, or that some even contain books worth of history lessons.
Maybe someone has a more specific explanation, but I could imagine it just being shorthands for certain departments.
Like, imagine a hospital where the third floor is dedicated to, uh, new patients, so you press the NP button.
It took maybe 10 minutes or so for a 256 GB hard drive for me, if I remember correctly.
That was an SSD, though, so yeah, mileage would definitely vary on an HDD.
Wurde anscheinend von Lateinisch "cicer" entlehnt...
