They didn’t have to copy it, now did they? Just because something was shit before something else was shit isn’t a fucking excuse.

And that’s where comic books went to shit, too. Do kids these days really have no real arguments for anything besides citing even more bullshit to support their bullshit?

is using (…) reddit (…) okay

No.

“Great” meaning great gigantic messes of nonsensical fanservice and a flood of movies and shows all tied to each other so if you miss one episode of Obscure Marvel Kerfuffle Re-re-revisited you’ll be lost.

You know, like fucking Star Wars is now.

Disney is fucking evil. Fuck Disney.

Teenager gets (rightfully) arrested for cutting down one tree: panic

Big corporations cut down bajillions of trees in sensitive areas of the world every single fucking day: sleep

It’s actually planned obsolescence by phone companies pushing updates that artificially cripple our phones and making us believe that they are becoming worthless. Every single phone will slow down over time, even if you reset the whole thing to clear out whatever you’ve installed. Sure, you’re going to need a new phone eventually when software advances past the technical limits of your device, but that’s not what’s happening; nothing has changed that much since you bought your phone but suddenly your phone is slow and not working nearly as well and the only thing to “fix” it is to buy a new phone.

It’s all a scam to make us all carry around tracking devices and to spy on us. Phones are garbage and belong in the trash can.

If you would do any searching regarding Pop!OS you would see tons of posts and articles saying that it hasn’t been updated in forever and it’s not just graphics drivers and such that need updating, it’s essential OS packages. You’re running the Windows 7 of Linux distros and spouting the same arguments as they do.

I have yet to find a distro besides Fedora that is actually reliable and works well with everything with minimal tweaking. Ubuntu and its derivatives are horribly unstable and finicky and everything else has its own issues. Fedora just works.

Yes, that.

Pop!OS is becoming more and more out of date and problematic. Honestly Fedora is the only version of Linux worth using these days (there’s some gamer variant of it I can never remember that’s probably fine too).

Because it’s the right thing to do and those greedy shits make a fortune off of ads and don’t need our money and okay I know, I know, MORE MONEY. Greedy shits. I mean… wouldn’t the ads be more valuable if they knew more people were watching? Or something?

Look, I’m just trying to get us all free Disney+ here, okay? Help me out here. :)

Dear every single streaming service:

MAKE. THE. AD. TIER. FREE. FOR. EVERYONE. STUFF ALL THE ADS IN YOU WANT.

MAKE. THE. AD-FREE. TIER. PAID.

This way people can watch everything without having an elitist “I’M PAYING FOR ENTERTAINMENT” section of the world who are the only ones that can talk about all these new shows unless they sail the high seas with an eye patch on, which is yet another argument for MAKE THE AD TIER FREE FOR EVERYONE.

it is easy to circumvent the tracking and spying that happens

The fact that using a cell phone for its intended purpose allows carriers (and by extension, the entities that make your phone) to precisely track wherever you are by cell triangulation – no GPS, no geolocation, no app spying, nothing, all in hardware – means that it’s impossible unless you just keep your phone in a Faraday cage and never actually use it.

Meetings are detrimental to my coding time. If they want me to sit around doing nothing for hours on end they should just tell me to do that instead of dragging me into a room with other people talking about how important they think they are. If they really want information about what I’m doing, email exists.

Ultimate Pure here with a single monitor. Because I know how to position windows and use such cutting edge modern features as RESIZING and ALT-TAB. Woo!

Multimonitor makes my neck hurt.

Ok kid.

Goes both ways, doesn’t it? Except my stance makes more sense because there are actual, undeniable issues with mobile devices and thay are demonstrably inferior devices in every single way. The sooner we understand this, the sooner we can stop carrying around a tracking device that monitors every single thing that you do.

Mobile is garbage. It is a barely controllable platform with horrible UI, horrible ways of doing things, touchscreen that is incredibly irritating to use, etc. I cannot understand how we, as a society, decided this would be our future. I get the idea of basic communication anywhere you go but internet? You can’t wait until you get home to do internet? You can’t download data and information to a more simple and usable device like we had back in the Palm Pilot days that came standard with a stylus and a sane way to enter data instead of jabbing at tiny squares with our fingertips? No idea how people actually use mobile devices as their primary computing device now. I have to have a real PC to do anything with and my only reason I have a smartphone is for talk/text (no mobile internet) and doing similar things to what I used a Palm Pilot back in the day for, offline data to have on the go for whatever purpose I need it for.

We need to go back.

Nah, bring back the context menu button that some Androids had that pops up the main menu of whatever application you’re using. Fuck, I miss that.

But Krita is more of a digital painting software and less an image editor like Gimp is. Sure, both can to a certain extent do the other, but Krita’s focus and Gimp’s focus are very different and using one for the other isn’t the most effective.

Gimp is awesome and people just need to use it with the understanding that it isn’t Photoshop and it does things different ways.

You could give an iOS user a current Android phone that has an iOS-like launch screen and an Apple logo on the back and tell them it’s the new iPhone with a whole bunch of new features.

I mean, why don’t we just do this anyway? iPhone is obsolete at this point.
