I never gave it a single thought. But now I have been cursed with this knowledge and will fly into a fury every time I hear it now.

But thanks anyway.

I learned that from the other reply

I see. I didn’t think I ever heard about that. I’m only familiar with them as in a digital version of paperwork, not a digital copy of a document.

I understand exactly how that happens then.

I’m not a kid (see my other replies in this thread lol), but I’ve never had to use PDFs for much at all. The closest I’ve ever been to editing one is clicking a box to draw a signature or check a checkbox.

So I’ve gotta ask. Why would one need to rotate a PDF? They would be made on a computer, and naturally default to the correct orientation, no? I can’t imagine why one would ever be sideways.

My younger brother will not flinch when talking about playing a first person game, (he says it for every game though) he will say a controller is superior.

Now I understand that there is a lot of wiggle room to debate the “best” input method, but I will die on the hill about a mouse being the best (and maybe best possible) input for look/aiming in a first person sense.

The left hand could use an analog input for sure, but digital movement is so rarely an issue it didn’t matter a whole lot.

I will go as far as to throw him a bone and say that controllers are probably the best for something like a platformer (his genre of choice), or a racing game, or in some cases, 3rd person action. I will typically use Rocket League as an example of that, because that game is one of the few that analog movement is much, muuuch more important than analog camera control.

But keyboard and mouse is so widely usable for (and so often a clear front runner) that I have to dunk on him every time he shits on kb+m.

But then I think about my coming up learning and using computers, and our built in familiarity with kb+m, whereas these days, these scrubs are using touchscreens almost exclusively, and a keyboard just looks ancient right off the bat. And of course anything that “old people” use is definitely just totally obsolete and gross as soon as something else comes out.

So I give him consideration in that regard, but it saddens me that he won’t think critically enough to understand the differences, and is not thinking about it. His brain is very literally saying “old way bad, new way good”.

He’s still too young, but damn the communication barrier is frustrating.

Tablets… in use at 2nd grade…

Damn. I know whether to call you a baby or call myself a geezer anymore.

The Internet itself didn’t even become widely available until I was in 4th grade or so. Windows 95 was only a year old when I got my very first access to any computing device beyond a very simple calculator.

Being “online” wasn’t a permanent status, it only applies for as long as you were allowed to tie up a phone line.

I could say more, but you’ve heard a bunch of back in my days already probably.

I got used to looking for registry tweaks, but I don’t even know what to call it exactly.

The closest I’ve got is: A place for accessing hidden settings in Windows. I’ve made a couple typos in there and nuked an install or two of XP, but I never really changed much personally. Just kinda looked up various ways people would use it to accomplish x, y, or z, out of curiosity.

I don’t have to deal with it anymore at least.

I think a lot of concerts would be amazing with acid.

I’m not very familiar with PF, or familiar at all with their personal history. I’m actually assuming Syd is a member. I don’t even know that. I’ve only listened to 2 of their albums (and while tripping)

But if this is a particular legendary one, it’d definitely be worth it.

Damn that’s the saddest “username checks out” moment I’ve ever seen. 🫂

I think they were making a joke from the perspective of the future the OC made.

You already were a girl 20 years earlier. Srs/ga stuff/hrt or no.

Insert obligatory “still cis tho”

Damn TS3 was still kinda wet behind the ears and maybe even still in beta last time I played with it. I only used it for one group and I cut ties with them.

I never even used it, I only know TS2 and it’s purplish, super basic ugly interface. (If anyone even remembers that- would’ve been back in mid to late 00s)

I haven’t gotten an Instagram link in even longer, so it might just be both of them.

I kinda get the argument about it, but the game is so bad I can’t be bothered to even be upset, even on their behalf.

I legit feel like Linux is better for not having it.

I’ve had that problem. But more often I have them correctly opening, but they start autoplaying muted by default. So I would have to frantically search for the unmute button or volume slider as fast as I can before I miss more than 2 or 3 sentences.

If it takes too long, then I probably didn’t wanna watch it anyway. I always hated it because it would throw banners at me advertising the app, which I expressly do not want. I had it downloaded one time for about 10 minutes on my last phone, and felt the ick immediately.

I don’t get them often, and typically only as discord channel messages. Lately they’re embedded so I don’t need to open them in a browser. It seems to be working now, but it was a mess for a while.

But the real one, not the rebooted mac.

My brain has an aneurysm. It totally is, but Imma pretend for the sake of the comment that it was the Dreamcast.

Yeah I’m not exactly happy about that either.

I was trying to stay on topic about this. That’s a whole different rant.

Plus, things spread before they get worse. This is a line that shouldn’t be crossed by anything in any way. The inside of my car is a nice little island. It should stay that way.

I feel pretty much everybody would agree with that. Even the ones open to it probably just want to make the money from it without having to deal with it themselves.

I had never heard of Stellantis until the comments on this post.

That’s at least a little good news, but I want day-after total zero existence for stunts like this.

As in executed the day after murder kind of immediate punishment. In this case, total, irrevocable punishment.

C suite people literally living in shelters fighting for leftovers at a food bank after paying out years of employee salaries and benefits kind of punishment.

You can’t just fine people like this for crimes. You have to actually take away money and the ability to accrue more than enough to live on.
