Goths mocking emos always made me laugh. Which is itself a third layer of comedy because I was supposedly an old school punk but really just another kid with a funny 'do (green mohawk...which I still hold as the most righteous hairstyle known to man, however)
Androids operating system is pretty locked down, users have restricted abilities to control their own system compared to windows, where most consumers are local admins who can easily run something malicious without realizing it.
I've tried studying CSa d programming, both formally and informally, for long enough to know most of what y'all are talking about, but failed terribly enough that I still have no idea how people can actually build code. Syntax is easy enough, I always started a class like oh cool I can do this. And then they drop me off the deep end and I fail, every time. I work in IT infrastructure now and I'm happy to say I never have to worry about coding, though my foundational knowledge is useful for troubleshooting.
I was 21 in 2008, and I'd been a fan of Ctrl Alt Del since near it's beginning. I was a huge web comic fan in general, and I got intensely emotionally invested in them, even the silly ones.
This strip hit me exactly as he intended it to. It resonated with me I guess because of my brother and sister in law going through a miscarriage shortly before. Either way, it had a powerful impact on me and I didn't see this "tonal shift" as a problem. That's kinda dumb if you ask me, lots and lots of comedies have serious moments.
Anyway, I didn't know this meme until a few years ago and it always makes me sad. It's dumb, I know.
I'm super sensitive to negativity, which is why I was always a lurker in reddit, I always got shat on whenever I shared anything, to the point that I'd just delete my account and hide from the internet for a while.
People write work emails differently, but I write more like the "don't" list than the "boss" list in most situations. I also rarely put much thought into it unless it's an extremely delicate situation. The only problem I have with this post is it's presumption that your way is the boss way and the other way is somehow inferior.
Wow that's awful. I didn't think I could hate apple anymore than I have been for the last 17 years (I still remember the time my friend tried copying my music collection to is ipod and itunes deleted the entire folder)
Do people think socialists or communists are bothered by this term tankie? It's like called a white person cracker. It's not really the effect youre hoping for, I promise.
I honestly doubted I'd be able to stay away from reddit. I've tried many times before. I've deleted 5 major accounts since 2012.
But Lemmy seems to have been the nicotine patch I've needed. Haven't been on Reddit outside google searching for info, which isn't going away for me personally.
Only thing I actually miss is baseball and my team sub.
My last day on Reddit I shared an excited post about a fun thing in a hobby sub of mine and I got such awful negative responses and people telling me I was attention seeking. It was really ugly. So that was pretty much when I decided to uninstall my Boost app and switch to Lemmy full time
