What annoys me is that there are episodes where they show that the Computer is perfectly capable of beaming people (and much-much more) all by itself, but for some reason they need a person to slowly pull 3 sliders up and down.

Reverse Pinocchio?

Game is game. Play whatever brings you joy. Except FIFA, of course.

Lemmy often assumes the worst about comments. I think people interpreted* your comment as "can you imagine this woman I know enjoys this kiddy game?!". While you really meant, I think, "some adults like to play Fortnite, too, actually".

Correct me if I'm wrong.

She is a little weird. IIRC, at some point she looks directly at the camera. And I always just assumed she was played by Fox, was she not? I didn't confirm.

Yeah, maybe it was a bad example, because in some very specific scenario, it can work. My point was that treating a symptom won't cure the underlying disease. Just like as long as there are rich people, trying to take away their planes won't work.

Ah, as in it provides respect? And sounds like cash? I know, I know, dissecting jokes is a lot of fun.

But that won't solve anything. That's like treating diabetes by drinking diet soda.

I didn't find any references to "cache". That's the part I want to understand, what the significance of that part of the joke. Why "cache"?

I think because Gates famously can jump over a chair, which he has demonstrated several times on stage. As the result, Gates (now Windows) didn't learn to jump over his first chair and all hell broke loose.

Could you please explain? Now I'm curious.
