Oh do you want more instances? I've got multiple issues.

Of course you don't. You're just being an asshole

I think being obsessive that someone didn’t know digital fm was renamed he radio or that Raspberry Pi OS was based on Debian (maybe if the name was still Raspbian it would be more obvious) makes you more of an asshole than the guy you’re responding to.

The point is prestige overrides all other faculties.

As a addendum, if it's hnuser:kristopolous pointing this out, then since there is no clout and prestige attached to my name I get attacked.

I claimed this social phenomena existed and then it happened like a scripted play in these replies.

> digital FM was renamed hd radio

I had to Google this. Seems it is some US-only thing I've never heard of.

The rest of the world calls digital radio "DAB" and occaisionally "DAB+". I've bought 2 DAB radios so far this year, since moving back to a country where I speak the native language.
