My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.

Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.

And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.

I don’t know what half those things are but I laughed at the words “Breast Mints”. No idea what it means.

I gotta admit, I was pretty amazed when they built Polygon out of scratch. It was just passionate game writers who is wanted to share the content they like reading. The first year was full of great writing. Then it kinda faded into the background, which isnt a problem.

Seeing how that happened gives me hope that a new website filled with passionate game writers will sprout up.

Have you tried, or are you a coward?

Yeah. Asshole did a number on America. I’m not letting him die in peace.

Literally this.

I still laugh at recruiters who ask if I’m okay that the company has a dress code.

I laugh even harder if it’s a remote position.

I love shitty tattoos.

Not on myself, mind you.

Yep. Most of the towns I lived in looked like this.

Appreciate it! I didn’t even see that.

And now this one has a lot of comments. 😭

Yeah I was prepared to hit the mark to spam button until I clicked on it.

So yeah after a year of a release.

My root issue with people who shit on AI is that by pretending like it doesn’t exist or refusing to use it, your voice is not part of the conversation.

The world will use AI, regardless of your personal feelings.

And if you arent in the room to help shape decisions, don’t be surprised when we are fucked.

Apparently they have a birthday sale. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40838479

I’m fed up with Proton and proton mail so this is a great switch for me

Nah. It’s just a paradigm. I hated it when I studied it in the 2000s, and have gained some appreciation of it 20 years later.

What I realized isn’t that I hate OOP, moreso I hate how old ass books/old guard developers used OOP.

Could also be related to c++

Everyone in the comments is saying real things and the only time this happened to me was when some genZ couple where wondering what kind of animal Knuckles was, and kept calling him an anteater.

And in a very controlled tone, said, “He’s an echidna.”

I hate going to Amazon for everything, but shit like this is why…

Maybe I’m more bold but I’ve told a manager who was trying to be TOO helpful this exact statement.

They backed off real fast.

Facts.

The dumbest thing you can do as a tech person is let a non-tech person know you’re competent. You’re just opening yourself up to stupid questions nonstop.

That’s actually more common than you think. It’s not explicit.

My niece who works at a very popular coffee shop where some are unioned, the non-union ones get paid a bit extra and reminded on the daily about that benefit of higher pay for being non-unioned.

And my aunt works as a receptionist in a non-union hospital. Her counterparts in a union, when they went on strike and got a huge pay bump… She suddenly “mysteriously” got a pay bump aligned with it because the non-union hospital was afraid of employees unionizing (which secretly, they were).
