    Floppy disks were a type of magnetic data storage used by computers in the 80s and 90s.

    Fuck. Why’d you have to do me like that article.

      They could have called it an ancient and obsolete data storage system, they chose not to!

        Not as clumsy or random as a usb drive. An elegant storage solution, for a more… civilized age

          I have to be honest with you. I have come to really like USB thumb drives and I use them rather a lot both at work and at play.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
