minus-square@properlink2•9 days agomy attempt to simplify the above explanation; -disc =round -disk =storage Storage can be round but not all round things are storage
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•9 days agoBut that doesn’t cover the round storage we call compact discs. It’s just nonsensical
minus-square@properlink4•9 days agoI mean to me compact disc sounds like small and round. Just happens to also be storage media 🤷♂️
