  I wouldn’t say woke is against norms, rather against traditionalism. Traditionalism itself is often abnormal, even within its own culture.

  When I worked for Apple, I do remember the iOS devs having racks of iOS devices all being flashed at the same time off a single Mac. But I don’t remember the count and this was years ago—like Snow Leopard to El Cap era.

  I was just kind of data analytics, but the labs were near my area, so can’t really give much more info, but mildly interesting, I guess?

  That business behaviour is illegal where I am. We have regulations and they’re actually exercised.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which government he might be talking about 🤔⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  God damn, not even the Vatican has laws like that now. Their age of consent went from 12 to 18 recently. I believe the marriage exception got raised to 14, which is still kind of wild, but not Iowa levels. Many of those laws are in place for, and exceptional to, accomodating marriages that occured in a culture where it is acceptable but the marriage is obviously no longer in that country/culture.

  For those that consider marriage “a thing” these laws are intended to balance the respect of marriage and respect the immaturity of a young mind and body. For those, like me, that recognise there is literally no purpose for marriage, they’re entirely insane laws to go that low.

  I find it especially weird when people try to gaslight on the internet. Like people just forget we allI have the ability to see the thread and read the words in it.

  Usually this happens when someone kicks off a reply with “So”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How possibly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So long as the result is a bazillion comments with as many upvotes as downvotes on each, it’s a good shitpost. Bonus points if it captures those two cliche users that end up frustrating the hell out of each other as they strive to be first in a 20 comment head-to-head marathon that goes absolutely no where. All because some people take it seriously while others take it as a joke; minimal effort by OP.

  This community seems to lean quite a bit toward people taking things seriously, or they simply don’t notice where they are before they unsheath their keyboards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How possibly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally what shitposting is, by definition.

  And you’ve done it once gain, Maestro. Well done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon misses flash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. I remember as a teen, my father said I should look at learning Shockwave as a potential career pathway after school. It was taking the web by storm and many people were convinced that Macromedia’s visions was the future of the web.

  I still kind of remember Macromedia Lingo. I had taught myself HTML—which was an extremely easy thing to learn for a child back in that day—and I started learning Director, JS, and Shockwave.

  By the time I was older and out of school, Adobe had aquired Macromedia. Websites had gone from basic HTML, images, frames, etc. to entirely animated opening scenes vectoring together beautifully over the top interfaces. UX was out the window because everyone’s brain is as happy to explode at how cool an interface functioned…once it finally loaded lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon misses flash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, Macromedia had peak Flash and Dreamweaver for “Website dreams can come true!” era. When Adobe acquired them, they started ruining it and leveraging legacy. Yes, the tech improved as would be expected over time, but the passion was gone. Adobe killed Flash but had already taken its soul years earlier.

  People don’t realise many of their favourite Flash games were from 2005 or earlier—the larger parts of the golden era. They were Macromedia games then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plastic hinges on modern headphones⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah WH1000XMs are a very popular bang for buck wireless set. 5 is the latest.

  That said, I have 2s that still go strong besides the battery. 4s going strong for a few years. Partner has had 5s for almost two, no issues. All plastic hinges.

  Not sure what OP is doing. Seems like a difficult part of the headset to break.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s similar to the one where they couple breaks up over a misunderstanding and all it takes is one of them explaining in like 10s. But instead someone storms off while the other pleas, and deep down you’re like, “That motherfucker so wanted it to end anyway.” But then we deal with post-break up scenes and you realise they’re just idiots that still haven’t even thought to clear up the misunderstanding via a single text, call, or friend like that afternoon.

  Haha, I chucked it on last night after typing this comment. There’s so many scenes where characters have no place being there but they are, because it’s just the public dealing with an action hero.

  My partner hadn’t seen it before.

  “There’s no way he’s about to jump the building with a horse… Yeah, I was gonna say. A horse would never do that.”

  “But that’s the point. You’re so into the action hero stuff that you didn’t notice they played a screeching rubber SFX when the horse stopped.”

  😙👌

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Womp womp womp.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s right when he sees someone’s about to hurt her, so he hurts the guy or something, and the guy ends up getting kicked in the balls by Curtis. The scene ending with some awesome “action helicopter” cam of the extraction completed, home boy limping back to the heli holding his balls, “Son of a…”

  It’s such a well directed movie with perfect pace too. Even when it goes over top, it makes just enough fun of itself for doing so.

  You mean, “turn into”?

  I don’t think anyone’s turning to the USA for education stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should swap out the thing she has with something else of value. Treats, licky mat, toy, another piece of meat, whatever. This gets her used to something being taken off her and it not being a bad thing. Eventually the swap is just for praise or a pat, but for really valuable things you may still need something more valuable.

  shitposts

  Don’t worry, though. Plenty of lemmingtons come in and take it seriously without realising—which is half the point of SPs, really.

  Just always assume sarcasm and poking in these parts. Have a laugh when you see the whooshes.

  Also, block lemmy.ml if you haven’t already 👍 Welcome!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel great 😊⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Look where you are 🙂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel great 😊⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because everyone knows Hamas are as equal an evil as the Israel authority.

  OP’s “feeling great” is in no way associated with what’s going actually going on—that would be insane. It’s just about how they perceive their social superiority to others whenever the topic of Hamas and Israel rises. They couldn’t care less about what’s going on, but they want that “owned 'em” feels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the wok agenda⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Right have leopards eat their faces. The Left have people biting onions. Same people; different upbringings. But same people.

  12 month rule. If you haven’t used it in a year or forgot it exists, get rid of it. In the end, it’s just shit made in a factory somewhere and nothing special.

  So the Second Amendment is indeed redundant then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But bro please⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that whole second amendment thing turned out to be the joke we all thought. I’ve never known a nation to just roll over and take it as much as this bunch. They’re pathetic and their overlords obviously know it.
