Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Grindr Won’t Let Users Say 'No Zionists'English7·4 days agoI’m aware of slash commands. If it’s a /sarcasm command, why would it be at the end of the statement?
What’s your source for this? I’m pretty sure “/s” means “end of sarcasm”, borrowed from XML/HTML.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Grindr Won’t Let Users Say 'No Zionists'English92·4 days agoJust fyi, the slash in /s or /sarcasm isn’t some weird bracket, it’s meant as an XML style closing tag, meaning “end of sarcasm”. In full it would look as follows:
<sarcasm>Things are going great!</sarcasm>
But people drop the opening tag and the <> for convenience.
More like “throw all but Uncharted and that 4th one from the top”.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•My world is so much better because of immigrants1·18 days agoThanks for that etymology bit. I wonder why I never bothered to check, but it makes perfect sense, as I know Turkish.
And yeah, I should have used “sometimes” not “usually”. Pan fried shawarma is a thing, while döner isn’t, so depending on the way it’s prepared it may technically not be kebab.
Btw, kebab doesn’t need to involve any bread element whatsoever. In fact, in places that use the term natively, it usually isn’t. Kebab is just any grilled meat on a stick, and often is just the equivalent of BBQ.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•My world is so much better because of immigrants221·18 days agoFun fact for you: All döner is kebab, but not all kebab is döner. Because döner is just a type of kebab (grilled meat on a stick). Which also means that shawarma’s status as kebab is questionable, as it’s
usuallysometimes roasted or pan fried, as far as I know.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish1·22 days agoBut “new” in the context of shopping just means “not used”, not that it was released in the past year or two.
And as I mentioned in another reply, they are not advertising anything false if those components are actually unused. If the buyer expects some band new, recently released machine with those specs, it’s on them. When you’re buying electronics, some minimal amount of research is required, or you outsource it to your family/friends.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish1·23 days agoOf course it’s not new new, the CPU is 10 years old. But who would think that it is?

Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish5·24 days agoOk, I think I now understand the point of this thread. The implication is that some people might assume that these are brand new machines that will have software support for years to come. Even though, that’s confusing to me, as no new machine with those specs costs only 200 Euros. Like, that CPU alone, if used, cost 40-60 Euros. But IMO it’s still a stretch to call this a scam, as they are selling what they are selling. Can these machines run W11 right now? Yes. If the buyer expects something else for that price, it’s on them. The target audience could still be tech-savvy ppl who just need an older machine for simple stuff and W11 is pre-installed there just for convenience.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish3·24 days agoWhat does it matter that Microsoft considers it piracy? If they got the keys for cheap somewhere, it’s a real licensed version anyway and will work fine.
I can order retro emulation handhelds from China and it will arrive with 1000s of ROMs, which is literal piracy, but that doesn’t make it a scam.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish1·24 days agoNot officially, but I have, in the past, installed W11 on a computer from 2010. And it worked fine, all things considered.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish1·24 days agoBut are you certain they aren’t new and this is a scam? I’m interested to know how you determined those are used.
Btw, where does it say “Nuovo”? I can’t find it. Is it not on the screenshot?
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish72·24 days agoBut “e-waste” means something so outadet that it’s useless. Or unrepairable. Those computers are perfectly fine for 80% of users.
And are they explicitly saying that these are new? While you know for sure it’s heavily used equipment?
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish22·24 days agoDo you mean you wouldn’t consider it a scam if it has W10 preinstalled instead? How much is MS Office anyway? I know there are $5 W11 keys all over the place.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish3·24 days agoThat seems like an entirely different problem from the one being discussed.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced peopleEnglish152·24 days agoCould you explain why you consider these overpriced/scam? If those use new parts and come with warranty, at least the top one, seems fine. Can you do a breakdown of what it should cost?
My Windows PC has i5-6500 in it and I definitely don’t consider it e-waste.

It’s just a generic warning, you can delete memories manually. Plus the chat screenshot doesn’t indicate any memory creation, it appears as a status message before the response.
