  Infinite monkeys and typewriters

  Eventually someone’s gonna say something at the right time and it’ll become a meme

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the first thing "pirated" on the net? What was the first thing to be pirated off the net in the modern age?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It was almost certainly software like a game

  Before even local networking was really a thing, people were pirating games by just sharing the disks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the intended message going over your head⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The owner is a twat who mistreats his staff and promoted shit political views

  Cheap pints though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the intended message going over your head⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, we know the UK sucks, that kinda goes without saying

  Hey now, I’m sure you have managed to not have a 5cm gap below your doors

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do rich people only wear designer clothes? Like, every piece?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends where you draw the line on something being designer a bit, but if we’re including luxury brands in general, then essentially yes in most cases.

  If someone cares about their appearance and they have enough wealth to not need to worry about economising, they will be wearing something close to the best versions of a given item of clothing that they (or their stylist) can get their hands on.

  It doesn’t have to be flashy (and increasingly the goal is to not be flashy), you can spend hundreds, even thousands on a plain black t-shirt. If someone wealthy wants a black tee, it’s almost certainly gonna be one of those and not one from a supermarket.

  Is the difference in value equivalent to the difference in quality? No of course not, the prerequisite is not needing to worry about the cost. There’s no value to them in shopping around for a deal and/or compromising due to cost, they just want the best available, and that’s it.

  yeaaahhh…

  The only success I’ve ever had with virtualizing MacOS on a non Mac host is using VMWare Workstation with some unofficial patch to make it think it was running on a Mac host and enable the option to run a macOS guest. And that took a bit of faff to get working too, no idea if it still works as a method

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British Army chef Mark Broadhurst jailed for terror-linked offences⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was initially wondering about remarking that the mugshot thumbnail gives the energy of a guy that’s gonna end up as some kind of modern naval pirate

  Then read:

  Officers found a “crude” homemade cannon, gunpowder, crossbows, bolts, six large knives and a baseball bat when they searched his home and barracks quarters.

  It took me a long time to even register that as food

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a very revealing photo of him⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminder these people know full well the implications of such a photo, and will have done a lot to avoid such photos ever happening

  If you see one, there’s probably a thousand they avoided

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BT strikes deal to rescue troubled TalkTalk from administration⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So BT now trades as BT, EE (itself the product of T-Mobile & Orange merging), PlusNet and now TalkTalk

  Would be much less problematic if it was still publicly owned

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendation to defederate from hilariouschaos⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  exploding heads

  It was a troll/far-right instance that did the JAQ/Sealioning thing to fly under the radar for a while which then got heavily defederated once the mask slipped and they went all in on flooding lemmy with horrible shit (it was bad enough various instance admin tools were created to combat it). Every now and again a new instance pops up doing the same kind of script and they used to end up getting defederated pretty quickly. Not confirmed, but it also looks like one or a few people sockpuppeting multiple accounts to make it seem more legitimate.

  This instance carries a lot of the same warning flags, but didn’t get the same treatment this time round for some reason

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fight! Fight! Fight!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t be much of a left winger if I did deny that

  Turning the working class against each other is one of the main ways the elite protect their power

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fight! Fight! Fight!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you confusing liberals with left wingers?

  The left have been very loudly pushing back against the billionaire class for a very long time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Snack time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was growing up I imagined a midnight snack as something vaguely coherent with at least a couple of ingredients

  Now I know the truth, it’s just ham

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Manchester City football club cheated⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re currently appealing it so currently no penalty has been issued, sadly

  There’s a lot of speculation around what will happen though, some are saying relegation out of the football league (not just the premier League), big fines which could then be distributed to other teams. Some people are suggesting the titles could be stripped, but that’s currently unprecedented with a lot of pundits saying it’ll never happen. I’ve read that there’s a good chance the owners could end up banned from owning any club in the UK

  It’s currently more delay for repercussions unfortunately

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Manchester City football club cheated⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What?

  They got new owners who then brazenly and repeatedly broke the spending rules and proceeded to win the top flight league 8 times over the past 15 seasons (and a load of other silverware) directly because of that, after not even coming close for half a century. They then hid this rule breaking via dodgy backroom sponsorships, cooking the books by nearly £1bn.

  That’s before going into how the whole endeavour is very clearly political sportswashing

  Flies are all round bastards, determined to ruin any situation they can

  I’m allied with the spiders

  Nearly always a combo of too much shit going on sooner, not enough funds in the bank until.

  One of my groups of mates takes at least 6 months notice to get something in the calendar we can all make it to

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's mom has questions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like it’s a form of brain training to be able to remember the right sequence of words to search to summon a niche meme

  Meme folders are the junk food of internet society
