I went to the henry ford museum like a year and a half ago, they had Pokémon red and blue on display and I felt that in my soul and bones.

You’re making the positive claim, the burden of proof is on you.

I’ve worked in IT, ditto.

Oh, have they added another if statement to block it from being completely stupid? I won’t know, i don’t use them

Ask it to show you a seahorse emoji. It will “”““think””“” it can then perpetually fail since there isn’t a seahorse in unicode.

Don’t know if you’re joking or not, but to anyone actually curious “fluid ounce” its the volume of 1 ounce of water (or wine, not all fluid ounces are the same since because not all ounces are the same).

Yeah, I don’t mind playing the game on the hardest difficulty so long as all it does it adjust damage numbers, but if changes mechanics that’s not as much fun.

I have all the achievements in mass effect legendary edition for example. I won’t get all of the achievements in the dead space games because beating them with so many saves or one life is bullshit.

My new work computer on both teams and outlook just open edge with any links too ignoring my default browser preference. My last one obeyed like a good computer.

Yeah, I literally commented about this like yesterday. For more reasons why she sucks ass, check out Shaun’s video on Harry Potter

The man that believes he has teleportation powers is the most responsible person in this admin?

Thank god pot is legal in my state.

I only use bluesky since some people I used to follow on the birdsite are on there, I don’t know if the mastodon instance I’m on is federated with bluesky or not, I don’t really use it that often anyway. But I logged on just to block attie and drive up those metrics

Its a good beginners distro. The default desktop environment is very windows 7-y. It has a great out of box experience with everything having a GUI. It’s built on Debian (um ackchyually Linux mint is based on Ubuntu unless you’re using mint Debian edition. Ignore the fact that Ubuntu is a Debian distro itself) which is incredibly stable with most updates being small bug fixes or security patches with the biggest updates being infrequent.

I don’t understand the hate for Linux newbies using the “beginner’s” distros. Hell, I actively tell people looking to get into Linux to use a beginner distro and offer to set up their computer for them.

“Look, this is Linux mint, see how windows-y this looks and feels?”

They don’t need to know more than that, I’ll tell them if they look for installation instructions for something not in the software manager to follow the Debian or Ubuntu instructions and that they should run an update at least once a day but it isn’t painful.

Leading up to the election there was this one woman’s car I saw a lot on my lunch break. For some god forsaken reason she put a life sized trump sticker on her passenger window so it looked like he was riding shotgun. These people are in a country sized cult and happy to display this fact.

In English, the correct demonym for a citizen of the United States of America is “American”. There have been others that somewhat are accepted but are not universal like “Yankee” which half the population would take great offense to.

It isn’t centering the world on us to call ourselves Americans, it’s the only thing that works in the language and is accepted by everyone it applies to. Call a Canadian an “american” and watch how quickly they correct you.

I’ve seen people propose “United statesian” but there 2 problems with that, first it does not flow well in English, second that doesn’t actually fix the problem since there’s still be ambiguity with people living in the United Mexican States.

For my 21st birthday a few friends came and visited me at college, we went to the liquor store and one of us grabbed the 151 everclear to do shots of. We did shots of vodka as a chaser.

iOS is a fork of MacOS, which is actually UNIX

Yeah, my last job I was part IT. It was amazing how bad some shit was. We had an old old computer running a machine and it was on windows 2000 (there was no upgrade path for this thing). One day it broke, HDD failure. User sends in a ticket saying its not working and that the software seems to be out of date…

At some point the place I was working at was acquired, and the new parent company bought one of our competitors across town. These people were a fucking tier 1 issue factory. “My teams doesn’t work” they weren’t connected to the internet. “My old email doesn’t work” that was discontinued 3 months ago. “My old email still doesn’t work” sir this is the 8th time you’ve mentioned this, it was discontinued 5 months ago.

To the guy a few weeks ago that said I wasn’t being fair to users not reading error messages and comparing it to a doctor reading your charts. Read this fucking thread.

Klandace thinks it is suspicious that a French woman wears a scarf a lot or that Hitler wouldn’t have been so bad if he just stayed in Germany. Don’t put too much thought into what she says or thinks.
