  • In your analogy, I would think they would demand an explanation from the food vendor.

  • I once read a reddit post where some teen confessed that her family had a slave. She was like, "I think my family had a slave." They immigrated to the US from Indonesia or something and brought along their "adopted" kid. This teen's mother made this kid do all the chores for like 12 hours a day, and would beat her if she fell asleep on the job. It turns out a lot of families from their home country had "helper" children of a different ethnicity.

    I read a statistic years ago that there are more slaves today than there ever have been at any one time in human history.

  • Semicolons belong at the end of lines. No exceptions.

  • I kept thinking about this, and it wasn't just that it's cynical. I don't know why I got hung up on that. I think I was stoned.

    My real problem was, in fact, the use of the words "literally" and "ever". If you say, "There's literally no reason to ever...", that means 0 reasons. That does not leave room for exceptions. A then you immediately follow it up with an exception. 😑

  • I have no idea how much of this information is slop. I think it's funny that ChatGPT made a decent attempt at this.

    You can downvote if you want, meatbags, but I think it's funny.

    Also, it wouldn't let me make them scantily clad.

  • Your comment was a useless tautology. I'm surprised anyone upvoted it.

    Your comment offended me. You could have phrased it so much nicer. I'll have a go at doing so:

    I'm glad it's being updated. No one should use it for a Linux drive, but it's good that people can safely mount old Windows drives with it.

    That's saying the exact same thing without being so cynical about it. These Linux communities on Lemmy are just so damn cynical. I get tired of it, and I chose you as an outlet for my frustration.

    Phrasing it the way you did is such a circle-jerky, virtue-signaling thing to do. Why even make that kind of comment?

    If you think your comment was totally benign and no one should have thought it was a weird thing to say, then I don't know what to tell you, and I think you just need to accept my lighthearted mockery of your strangely worded, cynical comment.

  • "There's literally no reason to ever use it, except for the one time you literally have a reason to ever use it."

  • Ha! That's the video that convinced me to install it.

  • That is what sweaty means, yes.

  • Sweaty

    🥵

  • Clear movement!

  • The fact that that "right" angle isn't square makes me so angry.

  • "Shit" has always been a swear word. Would you let your toddler walk around saying "This is shit!" while pointing at random things in public? It'd be a funny online video, but I wouldn't want to be the parent in the video. Just because you casually say to your friends, "I gotta take a shit." Doesn't mean it's not a swear word in most cases. "Poop" isn't even close. That's a word we intentionally teach toddlers to say.

    I'm actually curious. Would you be 100% ok with your (hypothetical) toddler doing that? If so, then you really don't see it as a swear word. I feel like the vast majority of people in the USA would say it's a swear word.

    A swear word is just a "lowly" word with a bit more gravity than normal words. Consider how even "This is trash!" Doesn't carry the same weight as "This is shit!".

    You can insult things and people with any words... "naive, ignorant, uneducated, slow, ineffective, disabled", etc. But if a person were actually any of those things, and you spoke those words with tact, they aren't necessarily mean. "I'm sorry to say this, but disabled people do not have a good time on this ride."

    Now replace "disabled" with "shit" and tell me that could ever be gentle in any context. 😂 That's what makes it a swear word, that's it. It's a word that has no chance of being "nice" in any way.

    These are just my own thoughts, and I'm certainly no linguist.

  • Chads have deoxyribododecahedron genes.

  • The AI said, "shit".

  • Damn... Jenny Slate could sell me a doorbell.

  • I dunno, ducks have maze-like vaginas to avoid pregnancy from rape. Evolution optimizes for the survival of the species, not for reproducing some maximum possible amount. Perhaps they evolved when limiting reproduction wad a benefit to the species.

  • Thanks for the recommendation. However, the UI of this proprietary app does look nice.

    The first paragraph is kind of ironic considering this is closed source software.

    Lately, there’s been a growing unease around software, and not just among security folks. With governments and big organizations starting to rethink their reliance on foreign-controlled tech, a pretty uncomfortable truth is getting more attention. If a vendor controls updates, it can push whatever code it wants onto your machine, whenever it wants, with full privileges. Most people know this on some level, but it’s easier not to dwell on it.

    Software that listens to every internet connection on your PC has the potential to be pretty invasive if it'a malicious.

  • Soon, though, using gravitational lensing of the sun. Sometime around 2035 maybe.
