I don’t know, really. I just stole it from someone who stole it from someone who stole it from… Back when he announced his intention to change the name.

Tell them it’s the

Now for a serious note, I’ll recognize the name “Gulf of America” if and only if they admit that America is the whole continent, and that the country has no actual name.

Same. I’m currently using coconut scented conditioner, and some sweety cologne, for example (chocolate scented spray kinda slaps too)

So, join Pixelfed?

Basically what I think of Simpsons “predictions”.

Matt Groening isn’t some kind of clairvoyant. He just knows history and recognizes patterns.

I read it affects some comment/post sorting modes, so votes may be useful in some communities. I could see a support channel wanting correct answers at the top, for example

Ah, didn’t know that was possible. I have been in the fediverse for a few years but I’m still a newbie on the technicals.

Thanks!

That’s /savage

Good point on dealing neutrally. I don’t care enough to remove it, though, and I just assume one upvote is a self upvote anyway.

Regarding downvotes, whenever I don’t like something, I just leave it be. I have a huge up to down vote ratio too. I only downvoted a handful of times, when it was clearly malicious.

Ah, that sounds plausible. I expected the post+upvote to be a single “packet”, but don’t know much about Lemmy internals

That could may apply to posts, but I don’t think it does for comments?

Plot twist: that is the neighbor’s apartment, and this video is cut off just after installing Mint, and just before he enters the apartment

My sisters’ was the more modern 48K “Plus” version, with hard plastic keycaps and somewhat extended keyboard (separate arrow/delete/graphics shift/etc keys). Unfortunately I lost it somewhere in my storage room, and don’t think it would even turn on at this point 😕

Yeah, there were some gems there. I’m particularly fond of Sir Fred, R-Type, Nodes of Yesod, and Atic Atac, and regularly fire up FUSE to play them 😁

My first computer (not counting my sisters’ aging ZX Spectrum+) was something called a Nikita PC Vivaz/PC Kid. It was essentially a famiclone with keyboard and mouse, in the shape of a tower PC.

It had quite a few programs like a word processor, spreadsheets, phone book, notes, a drawing application, some BASIC variant, and various games. It was obviously quite limited in what you could do with a 4KB of battery-backed RAM “disk” shared by all applications. It also had a slot for Famicom cartridges to play regular FC/NES titles with gamepads.

I remember my friends telling me it “wasn’t a computer” because it had no monitor (the display was a regular TV), and it didn’t “have Windows”.

This was in 1998, and I still cringe to this day.

(My first x86 machine was a 200MHz Pentium MMX tower with IIRC 16MB of RAM and 1GB disk, in 2004)

Edit: also, I didn’t experience the information superhighway until IIRC 2005, in the Uni’s library

TWO MONTHS!?!?

I don’t even know what I did last week!

I get this on Firefox Android:

It basically says “Cannot complete the request. No additional information available” :/

TBH, I could accept a lower wage (but not by much, and certainly not under minimum wage) if they offered a good work environment, reasonable hours or other niceties, but this was probably not the case

It may be, but key words are “it happens”.

This is anecdotal, but when I got my very first job interview at a somewhat big local company back when I was 19, the interviewer was apparently very eager to hire me, until I mentioned the salary topic, then her face changed from excited to like “rude, we’re not hiring this guy” almost immediately.

I would name drop them if I remembered the company name.

They ghosted me tho

Would be nice to name drop these kinds of assholes.

I would love for them to not find a single worker to fill this position and people gradually leaving until it’s just a husk with the C-suite having to do everything or the company just disappearing
