Counterpoint, it was already stupid.

I don’t know, I use BSKY.

“Your organization has blocked this action”

I mean this is my work phone, and I’m trying to copy a customer’s phone number from a spreadsheet to the dialer, but thanks man.

The only reason I actually wound up signing up on Lemmy is that there is one “main” instance by appearance, and it lets you participate in others(?). (Lemmy.world)

You don’t need to know any of the more esoteric stuff to get going.

I hope they included barring them from using scare tactics to try to coerce you to sticking with just google play “TURN ON GOOGLE PLAY PROTECT NOW”

I think it’s useful for spurring my own creativity in writing because I have a hard time getting started. To be fair to me I pretty much tear the whole thing down and start over but it gives me ideas.

I mean if I run out of RPG ammo in GTA I can buy more for a universal currency I don’t have to keep beating crime lords down with a big stick until one of them drops a fresh one.

Meanwhile I read the books as an artful evasion of an english assignment as a child but the movies just seemed too long for me to digest.

Maybe if they were packaged as a TV show but not at all changed in terms of content I could manage to get through it all in a day or so

Also I can’t look past the fact that there’s absolutely no way that they wouldn’t establish a form of nonverbal communication. ASL? Enthusiastic head nodding?!

Why on earth have you let your monitor access the internet

Broke: disrupting your appearance to confuse cameras

Woke: disrupting security cameras by carrying a hammer

(Disclaimer I know that’s not really feasible for most people afraid of going to jail)

The smartass temptation would be there for me to do the assignment legitimately but include that hidden request anyways.

People are stupid OK? I’ve had people who think that it can in fact do math, “better than a calculator”

Pretty much every multiplayer online game will at best lose its shit and not run, and at worst, ban you instantaneously if you try to access it with Linux

The final boss of Windows is to crowbar out a metric shitton of bullshit and you do it with a bunch of registry tweaks and GPedit

Or if you’re into online gaming.

I have to fend off linux nerds with a bat. The bottom line is “that’s cool and all but there are a lot of things that I can’t do with linux and I’m not willing to make that big of a change”

I just want one that won’t just be like “I"m sowwy miss I can’t talk about that 🥺”

I should be able to copyright my DNA so they can’t use it without paying me royalties.

If Lays can bother potato farmers in africa about it I should be able to own an organism too (myself)

I got banned for something really stupid and they denied my appeal so now I’m kinda just fucked for a lot of stuff, that is too much power for one site to have.

FWIW All I said was “I should be allowed to punch nazis” and I’ve seen way worse things than that said and not actioned on by reddit. (Even when reported)

There are entire communities that “glorify violence” that they do nothing about.

Yeah well it’s a Dev/Publisher issue with the games I play regularly, so.
