Pendulum

The comments here are what has prompted me to stop using Lemmy altogether. Farewell.

Certainly wouldn’t hurt them, the fear of God never hurts an international company

It’s possible that I’ve been lucky, and my experience of end users when it comes to Windows lately have been using it since Windows 10 which strongly pushed the Default Apps configuration vs previous versions. The world is a big place after all

Almost all of them. Especially corporate customers on managed devices

I’m as pro *Nix as the next person, but be careful of viewing the world through rage coloured lenses. Just makes everything look like a red flag.

Oof, and the organiser of this stunt isn’t just doubling down, or tripling down, he’s quadrupling down on it.

What an idiotic hill to die on

Fighting the itch to replay again to replay Phantom Liberty? I am :(

It was jarring for me at first, but it grew on me very fast. Also, in my opinion, looks cleaner on dark mode

YMMV but I put I small cushion behind my lower back on an IKEA Markus and it’s been my favourite chair I’ve ever had

Sadly, a lot of pedestrians are stupid. I’ve watched them walking across a road, phone in hand, straight into an idling parked V6 with a hole in its exhaust, and still be confused.

Pedestrian warning systems are a good idea. But nature will always come up with a better idiot

Check out IKEA office chairs. Their display rooms let you sit in them. They’re a 10th of the price, so even if they only last half as long you’re still in front.

If you make a system idiot proof, nature will always come up with a better idiot

We live in an age of subway wrappers telling you not to eat them, and microwaves including warnings to not use them to warm up pet dogs and cats. Because nature keeps improving on Communi Idiota

Show us on the doll where the tesla drivers annoyed you?

Instructions unclear, trash can now wedged into my dishwasher and a pipe burst behind it

But won’t answer DMs about an instance bug where being temp banned from one community functions as an instance wide ban

Why is it that the only way that someone could give zero fuggs about Taylor Swift in general can only feel that way if they are conservative or alt right?

What do you think is going to happen, I’m going to read that and go “whaaa… WELL I DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK I’M A REPUBLICAN!” and overcompensate by putting on a front by obsessing over Tay Tay?

I don’t give a crap about Taylor Swift. I don’t give a crap about most celebrities. Politics has nothing to do with it.

This surprises people? Mozilla has always been Mozilla’s biggest enemy.

“Shut up and consume”

That’s not how this works

At least they’ve stopped forcing IM’ing into everything… Haven’t they?

Which is the flaw of social media science these past few years. Theories evolve as new data is presented and new hypotheses are formed. The average twitter denizen won’t have that, no sir, and will with glee smack you with an outdated textbook with equal zeal as a Bible basher.

“FACTS DONT FUGGING CHANGE YOU BIGOT” == “THE WORLD IS ONLY 6,000 YEARS OLD SAYS SO IN THE BIBLE”
