I need my filler words!

Leave it to Sony to come up with new and innovative ways to harass customers.

Very popular this time of year.

My city’s public pools close at the beginning of August for some stupid-ass reason.

Personally I actually think class has more to do with it than sexism in general. For example the first professional woman to play golf in slacks was in 1933, while the first black professional golfer was allowed in the PGA in 1967.

It’s weird that you keep saying only “class” when you mean both class and race. Yes, they’re correlated, but they’re not the same and both really are at play here.

Yep. When I say “I use Keepass” what I actually mean is “I use KeepassXC, Macpass, KeepassDX, etc. depending on which OS I’m on at the time” and AFAIK none of those are actually made by the original Keepass developer.

However, not everyone believes that. It is not fair to claim a monopoly and ostracize team members who might disagree with you.

Karimov is definitely telling on himself there. If you think it’s “not fair” to ostracize racists, you’re a motherfucking racist!

1Password is now outed as a NAZI organization. Period.

I was thinking more in terms of replying to the comments within threads, rather than the posts themselves. But yeah, I guess you’ve got a point that the number of comments under a post might influence its position in some types of feeds.

I just watched the LTT video about DLSS 5, and the main thought I had was “never mind making questionable changes to these already very high fidelity games; what would happen if you tried to apply it to some old game, like Morrowind or Half-Life?” (In other words, some game that both (a) actually needs graphics improvements, and (b) runs at so high a framerate that you can afford to cut it in half.)

To be clear, I’m writing from a Lemmy/Reddit/Slashdot perspective. Maybe on Mastodon/Twitter (or, dog forbid, Facebook) it’s different, but I wouldn’t know because I’ve never used that shit.

How does a project literally named “.NET” manage to fuck up so bad as to need WINE instead of just Mono?

Emojis are modern-day hieroglyphs.

“Shit show” is too charitable a term for something that’s being sabotaged on purpose. How the fuck is it that people are still giving the Trump regime any sort of benefit of the doubt?!

The point is not to change the troll’s opinion; the point is to discredit them in front of whoever else may be reading the thread.

Also, the other action other than blocking them is reporting them and having a mod or admin remove them for everybody at once.

Both of those are better options than individually blocking.

Blocking doesn’t stop them from propagandizing others.

INT: knowing tomatoes are fruits
WIS: understanding that they don’t belong in a fruit salad
CHA: doing it anyway and selling it as ‘salsa’

I almost bought some Taylor Farms salad mix from Costco yesterday before my wife pointed out the brand name (what can I say, it was on sale and I’m a sucker for a discount). Costco is better than most retailers, but there are still plenty of problematic brands that they do carry.

But then, that would likely mean an expectation of a lower price tag and they wouldn’t want that.

In other words, they want to commit fraud with impunity. Because that’s what lying about the difference between a sale and a rental is: fraud on Sony’s part.

Fixed the meme:

But they said “DaTA cenTeRs wILL BrINg JObS”!

Or at least, publicly claiming to have done that and selling it to a jury as plausible, even if the actual thing that tipped them off was something else secret and inadmissible.
