Why does it have to be just like your sister?

What you do is take a screenshot of the desktop, rotate it 180° in MSPaint, set it as the background, hide and move the taskbar, hide desktop icons, and set the screen rotation to landscape flipped in the display settings. You'll get a desktop that appears normal but can't be interacted with, and a cursor that moves upside down and backwards. Rotate your victim's mouse the wrong way around if they're gullible and they'll think the mouse messed everything up,

It's in your comment. Back to reddit

"You don't tolerate Nazis? Perhaps YOU are the REAL Nazis"

Why are you people all the same? Do you get a 50 Cent Army script or something?

People think Google is in the business of providing services. They aren't. They're in the business of data collection and their services exist to facilitate that. Useful data dries up, service shuts down, every time. It sounds harsh but people who still use Google services are just setting themselves up to get fucked over.

It seems like you're expressing something about Lemmygrad that isn't enthusiastic and unconditional endorsement. Clearly you are a reactionary alt-right racist Nazi, and probably (definitely) a CIA plant.

This implies that Indiana is a land of fertile farmland and rich culture, which is an even more fantastical idea than Michgan moving to the mediterranean

It's The Guardian, they were probably paid to advertise for Threads

which is good, since it means we get more software per man-hour worked

In the same way that more slop is good for the hog trough

By this logic, no businesses should rely on the internet, roads, electricity, running water, GPS, or phones. It is short sighted building stuff on top of brand new untested tech, but everything was untested at one point.

Where's any logic here? You're directly comparing untested technology to reliable public utilities.

I've already run into multiple people on Lemmy who do what I call the Reddit Special:

  1. See an opinion you don't like
  2. Intentionally misinterpret the point to mean something else and attack that
  3. Support your opinion by arguing backwards from your conclusion
  4. Ignore all counterarguments when possible, return to step 2 when not
  5. Try to "win" with pithy mic-drop bon mots at the end of your comment
  6. Mask upset feelings by trotting out overly slangy 2am Chili style dismissals

For example a conversation I have actually had more than once on Reddit:

Person 1 - "I hate the designated hitter in baseball, it was more fun before, without it"
Person 2 - "Why are you in love with the old days so much? Do you want segregation back too?"
Person 1 - "Are you crazy? I just like it when pitchers bat"
Person 2 - "Lol. Clearly you have issues with being called out on your bigotry"
Person 1 - "You're not listening, I said I like baseball better when pitchers bat"
Persot 2 - "lmaoooo I don't listen to racists"

A libertarian's idea of when a girl is past her prime

This would be better than what they currently do, which is just upsetting. For example, let's make a water-type panda Pokémon:

  1. cute blue panda cub
  2. darker blue panda, slightly bigger and with longer limbs, with lame attempt at giving it "attitude"
  3. somebody's blue panda fursona with abs, pecs, and a crotch bulge

or

  1. somebody's blue panda fursona with Pixar mom hips and a bust with a fur tuft on it

A botnet that gives you shitcoins every so often

Also, we were were cringeworthy than they are now. I was there in the late '90s and the early 2000s. I remember the forum posts, the livejournal drama, the unfunny memes, the rise of MySpace. The Xanga sites alone were far more cringeworthy than Tumblr ever was, even if you ignore the underage nudes AND early 2000s fanfiction that people posted on their Xanga pages it was still worse. At least zoomers don't have emo hair and post about their angst in the form of shitty poetry with handles like xXx_darkbl4de_st0rmwind_xXx, and those of us born in the mid '80s through the early '90s cannot always say the same.

What reasons?

Rich people don't really seem to be smart so much as they just have a sort of rat-like cunning that confers high performance at screwing people and stealing shit.

It probably won't, Summer Reddit has been a known phenomenon for years. It's going to be flooded with even more children than usual.

Pasted from an earlier comment:

through the magic of Google Groups we can even laugh at sports fans' forgotten shit takes they posted to Usenet 40(!) years ago:

Mailing people anthrax is so Y2K, do something cooler

No, you're an asshole for whining

Yeah I've seen a few things get messed up by that idiotic rule. When you euphemistically say "reasons" in italics, it sounds worse than it is. I assumed you were trying to gently tell people "Google suspended the dev for being racist" or something.

Reported for landphobia. As a POC (person of collections), this is my Pride Month too.

Maybe some people don't want to dismantle gender norms or the patriarchy, though. Perhaps instead they want to become someone who is oppressed by the patriarchy. Like, just speculating, maybe they want to be completely submissive and borderline airheaded, and be dressed in tighty, girly clothes, wearing lots of makeup and expensive hardos. Maybe they just want to have bleach-blonde hair and be completely and totally bimboified and have massive tits that can't stay in the apron I wear in the kitchen.

I fail to see how your first statement has anything to do with my comment.

Not surprising

I don't use Discord, so this screenshot is amazing. It somehow manages to combine the clutter of bad '90s UI design with the wastage, eye candy glut, and oversimplification of the last 10 years. A towering achievement in the worst of both worlds.

I just use lemmy.blahaj.zone as a Brave home screen app

And the best part is that you get to support Brave by mining cryptocurrency for them whenever you use it

They added features that benefit power users and developers? I'm sure someone at Mozilla will be fired for this soon enough
