Sure it does. Pi comes into a huge number of formulas in both pure mathematics and applications; circle measurements just happen to be the first to be discovered.
I dunno, though; in recent years, many of the stories haven't really been about OSes, but about specific software projects and such things. There just doesn't seem to be as much news about OS development as there used to be.
I tried Vivaldi. Although it looks good in general, I see no settings to disable images or to disable Javascript. Both of these were trivial to do in Opera. Is there some way to do these things in Vivaldi, perhaps via an extension?
Sometimes I wish we would, if only to put an end to the completely unfunny "ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS HERE" joke we get on every single story in any way involving Europa.

Somehow, I think you mean Indiana University.
Hm. You must mean five of these?
Oh, the irony...
69 sucks?
Proposal: the next planet we discover should be named Snoopy.
There is an actual place in England called "Wetwang". J.R.R. Tolkien did not make the word up.
It sounds like Galileo to me, actually.
Heck, I still remember Fedyakin and polywater. But not much of anyone is old enough to remember Blondlot and his N-rays.
Well, now, there were human beings living there for tens of thousands of years before that colony.

Never mind America; just make Firefox great again!
I agree. Indeed, by the grandparent's reasoning we couldn't even call a graphics processing unit a "GPU" because that used to be the initialism for the Soviet secret police.
