I’ve hit that and just switched IPs on the same VPN. The other VPN I use has never hit the screen.

You’re totally right! They were there, but sequestered to very specific places. You wouldn’t have run into a lot of memes or image macros at all unless you were part of the big sites for “internet culture”: LUE, SA, YTMND, /b/, then finally more mainstream stuff like Digg, Tumblr, Twitter, and Reddit. Shoot, “memes” had a whole different meaning than they do now! They weren’t even CALLED memes in th’ early 2000s even though the term existed, they began as being called “fads” and “meme” caught on in the early to mid 2000s!

- Comment on Previewing the Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard 2 weeks ago:
I discovered the tap-to-click toggle accidentally, it was driving my partner and myself insane that seemingly randomly, the keyboard would decide to turn it on and off. And it’s keyboard-specific instead of computer-specific, so it doesn’t need to be adjusted on each machine if you use the same keyboard on multiple machines!

Oh that’s gotta be it, I have the regular k400 for all of mine. Have you tried fn+right click? Fn+left click turns on/off tap to click on all k400s, apparently you can disable gestures on the k400r with fn+right?

I cannot NOT read the title as Polysics singing “Coelakanth is Android”
- Comment on Previewing the Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard 2 weeks ago:
I’ve never experienced that! I have a bunch of K400s I’ve built up over the years for all the different computers we have around the house. No Cortana ever happens, but all of all of our machines are Windows 10, Linux, or Mac, so it might be a windows 11 thing?

It’s literally not a meme. Not even “figuratively not a meme”. It’s less of a meme than Milhouse, and Milhouse is not a meme.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Whoa… I realize I am old now that the word “meme” no longer means “meme” in any way, shape, or form. It’s a totally different thing now? See: “Forced meme”
tl;dr: this is not a meme

It does, and that sucks ass, agreed. But the person saying it doesn’t work on Linux is straight up lying hahaha

Who upvotes this bullshit without even a lazy cursory check to learn it’s completely false?
- Comment on Pragmata surpasses 1m copies sold in just two days 2 weeks ago:
Except it’s a straight up lie, it works on Linux and runs fine on steam decks
- Comment on Thanks for coming to my TED talk 2 weeks ago:
I LOVE house centipedes! They can take all their million legs and crawl all over my house. I’ll even save them from my cats, as I don’t want the lil guys getting hurt! My cats can play with all the ants they want, but centipedes are too leg’d for me not to love.
We do occasionally get venomous centipedes tho, those I do have to kill if they’re in my house. Sorry lil dudes. I’ve only found one in my decade at this place tho, the rest were friends!
- Comment on Top-selling video games ever (2025) 3 weeks ago:
Ugh PUBG was one of the best games ever when it came out for computer. Full of jank, sure, but every time you started a new game, it was an ADVENTURE! I always landed far away from people so I could get max exploring in. I loved that there were tons of garbage items on the floor, like clothing and stuff. It made every time you found a nice gun or attachment feel AWESOME. Then as the round is further in, I’m armed to the teeth and driving a bike with a sidecar towards the action. Then I hit a twig and my bike launches into orbit, doing 500 flips, exploding on impact. Except the time it didn’t—I was driving and my partner was in the sidecar, we launched and did a million flips, and it landed without so much as a bounce (doing damage to us and lighting on fire, but not killing us!) I wish I had a clip from that moment, with our reactions.
Then PUBG mobile came out, and a friend of mine was sooo into it, and soooo stoked that he got so many kills and was so good at the game. I’m not a teen anymore so I’m not a fun-ruiner like I was back then; I didn’t have the heart to tell him he was playing against majority boys with bad AI, and the game has crazy auto aim for players.
The computer version removed all bad loot, so everything you find was guns, ammo, attachments… suddenly everything was inundated with loot. If I wanted that, I’d just go play a game with load outs! I want to have to hunt for good gear, that’s what made the game so unique for me!
Then PUBG went full on garbage mode. Removed proxy-chat, went F2P, and added bots. Fuck bots! Ruins the concept of the game completely. I uninstalled the day bots were added and never played again.
I am very happy to have had a few 1v99 wins before bots were added. My first win against 99 others happened maybe 50 hours in, and my watch warned me my heart rate hit 180. I’ve never felt that kind of rush from a game before or since.

- Comment on Tell me you're an adult without telling me you're an adult 3 weeks ago:
Oh defo don’t feel too bad about that! They’re all like that, honestly, for everyone I know who has gotten one. The thing is, while they’re not like… La-Z Boi or whatever a big comfy chair is-comfy, you should able to sit in it for a solid 8-10+ hours in a day without it hurting your back, bum, or legs. My previous chairs were pretty comfy, but fucked my shit up after a bit if sitting. I’m also not huge and one had foam and one had mesh, and both got soooo flat I was sitting on plastic after like two years.
I also expected to sit in an areon B and have it feel GODLY after the internets told me it would be, but really it’s just a thing ya gotta adjust every setting to make I fit your body.
I adjusted the one I tried a ton and made it feel nice, but the Mirra 2 had a crazy adjustable rocking toughness, and you can unlock it so it rocks all the way FORWARD, and there’s two levels of rocking back—back, and wayyyy back. I do more relaxing than at-computer-work all day even when working at home so I went for that one.
I would kill for an Aeron when I have to go into the office. I’m sitting up a lot more there and lounging less.

It’s my job and my hobby and some health issues, mothafucka, go judge elsewhere. I’m exercising again (only at expert level on best saber, used to be much better) but I need a place I can sit for a long time when shit’s bad. A nice chair bests bed rotting all fucking day
