  • Shit, you're right!

  • This would be mine too. Mainly so I can feel like I'm sending messages telepathically.

  • I second this opinion. The parties responsible absolutely need to be held accountable but due to the severe nature of the crime you absolutely have to protect yourself.

  • My devices are cringely named after songs in Haken's discography.

    Desktop is MESSIAH. Laptop is AFFINITY. Phone is NIGHTINGALE. Steam Deck is SHAPESHIFTER. Router (and its WAP) is PORTALS. My NAS is the only one that falls outside of this, it's generically (last name)NetNAS. I should rename it, but I don't want to break anything 😅

    Eta: changed my NAS' hostname is ARCHITECT. Nothing broke! Yay for me.

  • I've made fun of the French all my life for being smelly cowards, but perhaps we Americans are the smelly cowards.

    Sorry France. Clearly you know how to get shit done.

  • Clearly I missed that video. Thanks for letting me know! That makes his views and attitudes make a little more sense.

    (I also didn't mean socially awkward as an insult or anything, I certainly have no room to talk)

  • So this is an instance issue? I use Lemmy primarily through Boost on my phone and have never been able to upload an image directly. Same error as the OP, only I also get a 403 error.

  • I tend to like him and the things he has to say. I like that he helps consumers be more conscious of the things they buy, and cautions against companies with bad practices (such as those that are closed sourced, or lock basic features behind paywalls, etc).

    He strikes me as a little socially awkward himself, and maybe that manifests as his rage at some of these companies and situations; he could stand to take a breath every now and then. I really enjoyed his breakdown of the Honey scam and LTT.

  • I immediately think of the episode where Butters returns home to fix his anger issues, only for him to be angry about Ben Affleck the whole time. Can't recall any other Hawaii-centric episodes. I love South Park.

  • Rubalino!

  • culture shock of seeing China having solved all necessities of a civilized society

    Except for basic human rights concepts like freedom of speech, right?

  • Especially when you compare it to New Leaf's 13 million units sold, and was supported for way longer than Horizons.

  • Worked as the tech person for an office supply store in the US.

    Regular (annoying) customer comes in with his desktop and printer in a cart asking for us to "verify the connections between his printer and computer", because it wasn't working.

    Hook it all up to our work bench. It was a Win7 machine or something. Before I could navigate it, he urges me out of the way so he could show me what was wrong.

    He opens chrome. You know how browsers will ask you to restore tabs when they close improperly? He clicked that option when it pops up. The first thing I see is a movie streaming site that's in Russian with porn ads everywhere. Just raw dogging it.

    He closes that tab to reveal an image of a naked child on the next tab. He closes that tab, and there's another one.

    I don't really remember what I did, but in hindsight I wish I had called the police. I think he just ended up leaving the store with his stuff after that, but I learned months later that he came back in to use our self-service copiers and had more pictures, and our store manager threatened him and kicked him out.

  • The Vvitch. I thought it started well but the ending was wildly unexpected and made no sense for how the movie set everything up.

  • Not lightweight, always online, full of children

  • New York doesn't have the death penalty though?

  • Look at the snowflakes on the bottom corners, and the one on the vest. The letter kerning is inconsistent too. There is also a dot on the skeleton's forehead. Methinks it's AI...

  • My elementary school had those chunky, colorful iMac G3s that I played hella coolmathgames on. At home we had an old Compaq desktop with Windows 2000 (later XP).

    I never learned anything useful except general computer literacy but I sure do miss those days.

  • My father in law brakes incredibly late. Consequently, he brakes very hard. Drives me (heh) insane, and causes me to reach for the oh-shit bar and the ghost brake every time.

  • Introducing a carbon monoxide leak into my landlord's residence
