anyone got tips for finding quality memes on mastodon? i love the philosophy of the service, but i have 0 interest in reading political takes from strangers all day, and right now it feels like all i see on the “trending” page is people complaining about politics. i just want to escape the bad news and laugh a little, not get mad at my phone anytime i open the app

…democracies? i haven’t watched a lot of star wars but isn’t the whole point that they are fighting a fascist empire

just “linux” in daily public speech is definitely the way to go branding-wise. no random pedestrian is gonna know what you’re talking about if you say GNU or Kubuntu or whatever (and they probably won’t know “Linux” either, but the chance is marginally higher)

praying for valorant to get a mac port before they kill win10. the second we get that port, i am nuking windows from my drive

tipping should be illegal because it leads to underpaid workers. but until tipping becomes illegal, you are a fucking asshole if you don’t tip. you’re not sticking it to the man, you’re just shitting on a minimum wage worker because m-muh principles. grow up or move to a country where they don’t tip

the snickering part sounds made up, but people definitely ask strangers to spot them

cheers!

this is a complete uneducated guess from a relatively tech-illiterate guy, but could it contain mac-specific information about weird non-essential stuff like folder backgrounds and item placement on the no-grid view?

gonna start lovingly referring to good software tools as “little fuckers”

my new year’s resolution this year was stop wasting time replying to dumbasses online

it’s not going very well but it’s the thought that counts. we’ll get em next year

thank you for the explanation and the examples :) i will no longer be so ignorant about security updates

i know you guys are probably right when you say that security updates are important, but why exactly? give me an example of how i could be fucked over while i’m just mindlessly playing my steam games and watching twitch+youtube on a system that hasn’t been updated since 2016.

i blindly assume that as long as i don’t download and run stupid .exes or click stupid links, i am completely fine

gonna kiss myself with a cement brick if they let zuckerberg buy it and turn it into the same UX nightmare that reels is

windows sucks ass for this exact reason but linux is definitely complicated and filled with weird bugs as well lol. i guess those bugs are better than spyware though

first skyrim run in like a decade, really makes it obvious how technically shitty the game is. so many immersion-ruining moments all the time, like people talking over each other. also the world map screen might be the most ugly and least useful of its kind. if i was on pc i’d install the mod that displays roads on the map.

but the atmosphere is nice :)

i haaaaate the fucking blog posts that clutter the mobile subscriptions feed. unfortunately the ios equivalent to vanced only removes ads and gets you sponsorblock, doesn’t let you purge the myspace shit

“prompt engineering” in itself is such an embarrassing term for the act of saying “computer uhhh show me epic boobies!!”

like that joke about calling dishwashing “submerged porcelain technician” but unironically

i usually only watch the first episode intro, and then the finale intro, except for cases where the intro is a banger like:

bojack horseman

breaking bad

too old to die young

well, not entirely, it doesn’t cost anything to switch operating systems. if something is a console exclusive, say goodbye to $570

that sounds better than my prejudice made me guess :) i’ll watch more streams of it to get a better feel for it. thank you
