Pffft, I have a microwave that emits microwaves at microwave speeds to microwave things.

The person that made this image is failing hard at basic English.

Sync for Lemmy decided to absolutely destroy the quality of your image so I thought being unable to read it was the joke, but I still decided to spend what ended up being WAY too much time to figure it out from the few pixels available… and then I accidentally tapped on it and the normal readable version opened. This multilayered brain fart and subsequent realization humbled me in an odd way, feels weirdly good.

Here’s what it looks like:

Most “free” things aren’t free, you pay by them collecting your information and selling it. Anyone that automatically thinks something is bad because it isn’t free is dumb as fuck.

I’d almost believe you were paid to hate on proton, but you’d get fired for how fucking dumb your arguments are.

Removed by mod

I’ve managed to de-google completely and mostly de-microsoft, but I use cloud streaming (shadow) for gaming and anything else that’s more than my shitty laptop can’t handle and there’s no way to use Linux on the cloud part. Only thing I can’t do anything about yet, and doubt that’ll change anytime soon or at all.

“Additional date”

Many are, yes. But for some like me who play via cloud streaming where at least Nvidia stops that function, it’s a great thing. It’s also nice to have it all in one place, most people already use Steams screenshot function so having this too is just nice. This has been a commonly requested feature for a long time, it’s only weird that it has taken so long for it to exist.

That isn’t at the same time though… You kinda missed the whole thing with that.

“Most people”, no, the earth isn’t mostly Americans. It’s only Americans that do this dumb as fuck things where they forget the rest of the world and think only they exist or matter. You have no idea how fucking annoying it is, and how much it shows stupidity and ignorance.

That’s like punching your food delivery person in the face because you got the wrong order, they’re not the problem.

You might have missed the news, Affinity sold out to Canva. Really sucks, Affinity was the only truly good alternative but I put it in the mental “never touch” category immediately when that happened.

Still the best IMO, and how is it not for the average person? It’s just as fully featured and easy to use as anything else.

Very relevant and pretty recent SciShow episode:

The idea of it is, but DDG isn’t. I used it for a couple of years but rarely felt it was good enough, I kept having to go back to Google or even Bing or Yandex to get the results I needed. One of my major gripes was it not showing the dates on results, so I never knew if the information was up to date without clicking through to every result and checking it there. Then I kept seeing pretty bad news about it, the company doing stuff people, including me, didn’t appreciate.

I know some will hate on me for this, but I’ve now used Kagi for about a year and it’s by far the best I’ve ever used. If or when that goes bad I’ll find something else, but right now nothing comes close to giving me both the right results and also giving me control over everything. Of course, there are negatives but that’s the case with everything else too. None of the “bad” news about it has turned out to be even close to as bad as first reported, and the rest is just people hating on it because others say they like it.

It’s not weirder than many other things that are from centuries or millennia ago. It’s always fun to see the weird theories people come up with, everything from aliens to masturbatory use.

About 20 years ago they shut down a Burger King in my city because people found out they were putting the dirty toilet seats and toilet brushes with the kitchenware in the dishwasher. Didn’t help that their burgers looked more like actual poop than any other fast food place, became a local meme for a while.

This is where I’d put*

If you’d let me*
