  • Australians: Finally, we're not on the deadly map!

  • I have never had any reason to use any of Adobe's stuff other than acrobat.

    Having used 2 competitors extensively at work, Bluebeam and PDF X-Change (and the free version of 1 of those, PDF X-Change, at home), it's not even close.

    Acrobat is so much worse, and they came up with the format.

    It's embarrassing.

  • You guys are aware you can filter by language in the settings of your Lemmy account, right?

  • How are you so good at this? A Lemmy treasure for sure

  • A friend of mine when I was 12/13 downloaded some hacks for Combat Arms (a free FPS back in the day) and made his windows unusable (with "noob" as the time).

    Good memories

  • Original commenter was making a joke, it's called hyperbole.

    There are cases where your sentiment makes sense (Women disparaging someone about dick size for example. Not sure how that's different from men commenting on people's boobs), but this isn't one of those cases.

    The commenter doesn't actually advocate killing someone because they bumped up against them.

    I think you should consider lightening up.

  • 6 toes on the back paw. Including the "thumb" that's underneath, that's 7.

    I'm pressing X to doubt on this one

  • come from the Christian crusades originally

    To me, this is equally as bad as Nazi symbology

  • America, you need to riot. Like yesterday. Do not let this happen. You're too much of an imperial power, it's gonna fuck us all over.

    Fight them in every arena. Stop rolling over.

    Too much to lose to fight back? Just wait, you'll live to regret it. And so will we.

  • If they keep not complying, which is my understanding of what apple has been doing, they should absolutely be bankrupted. Or something drastic.

    A warning, which will make other companies self-Police, bringing down the cost of enforcement.

    Countries are so permissive of corporate bad behaviour it's not even funny.

  • based

    Jump
  • This is exactly what I expected in the second panel haha

  • I hear you but what cranked it up to 1000?

    I unfortunately am not versed enough in the topic to give a full answer on this, I'd guess upbringing, then personal experiences?

    I suppose it's similar to people who are arseholes in general.

    Sorry for the very underwhelming answer haha

  • Maximum password lengths at anything below 64 characters grinds my gears.

    Signed up for a bank account once that limited you to 12 characters. 12. And you could only chose from like 4 special characters.

    No 2FA. No no. But the customer service agent pointed out they require you to also use a 6 digit second password!

    That's a 18 digit password where 6 of them must be numbers.

    Absolute travesty.

  • Personal experience from when I was newly an adult, and chatting with a female university classmate and somehow got on the topic of games and I started explaining what Steam was, because I just subconsciously assumed, her being a woman, didn't know.

    She politely pointed out I had mansplained to her.

    I am very thankful to her for the experience as it's stuck with me and saved me from making a fool of myself on more than one occasion since.

    I'm sure there are possibly small things like this, that you may have been been "guilty" of in the past.

    These men, are engaging in similar behaviour cranked up to 1000.

    However, it's even more malicious with them, because it's not like the last 30 years or so haven't had constant and increasing messaging (in the anglosphere, at least) about feminism and ways in which women have been treated unfairly.

    So, it's not like they haven't had the opportunity to reflect, and change.

    In summary, yeah, it is kind of baffling, but I will say society, while largely better than 30 years ago, still does have structural as well as conscious and unconcious bias towards women.

    So I'm not surprised people like this exist.

  • It's a bit weird the artist drew an "elementary" school girl in their underwear though.

  • REEEE MM/DD/YYYY Burn it with fire

  • Missed opportunity to call it "AkkuBattery" for all the dual language pun enjoyers out there 🎩

  • To me any religion that excludes people or exalts people on the basis of tribe is not tolerant end of story.

    I haven't read the entirety of the Bible. But happy to be persuaded that my understanding of God and his chosen people is inaccurate.

    For example, this was incredibly easy to search for: Destruction of the Canaanites

    I would wager there are many such stories. Judaism, like most religions, is pretty fucked up.

    If anyone really believes God chose their people over others, you inherently believe your tribe is more special, more righteous, or favoured by God. To me, that belief is nothing short of dangerous - gestures broadly throughout human history

    I'm not really out of line here to assert that makes the orthodox belief foster ethnic/tribal supremacy.

    I'm not saying everyone who believes in Judaism believes this way, but as a whole it's pretty hard to argue their shit doesn't smell as bad as the others.

    Exclusion is just not a sign of tolerance. Sorry ¯(ツ)_/¯

    People are individuals, and I'd assert there's a spectrum of views across believers.

    If we're talking about the religion in general? I'll have to strongly disagree that it's only inward looking.
