I am at a loss for words that I could recognize it almost immediately.

And Ray Croc didn’t invent McDonald’s, but poured the foundation that McDonald’s is built on. I place Musk in a similar, although not entirely the same, category.

That word would probably be either “skeuomorph” or “vestigial”

Not really, once Reddit closed off their API to all but the absolute highest of bidders, it broke a lot of functionality of a lot of smaller apps like this. You might still be able to find something to spruce up the CSS client side somewhere, but a lot of devs abandoned the ecosystem once Reddit, the company, made it clear in no uncertain terms that community support and 3rd party partnerships were unwelcome.

My great grandfather was aboard the USS Missouri when the Japanese came aboard to surrender. He always said that it was one of the biggest moments of his life, and he always regretted that he didn’t have a camera during that visit. I think that I would like to go back in time to that event, and bring a camera with me.

HTML parsers scare me. I already knew it was a big job, but this blog post sealed the deal that HTML, err… the web’s interpretation of HTML(?), is one heck of a mess.

The Ring, age 8 or 9, did me in as well. The bathtub scene is also the one that messed with my head the most.

Do you… do you do rocket surgery?

From someone who transitioned from operations to development over the course of their admittedly short career, this is a poor mindset. Much like how you shouldn’t disrespect a janitor or a nurse, you shouldn’t say “gross” about IT work.
IT may not be the reason for the company’s existence, but it is what allows it. The company may not exist without you, but you don’t exist without IT.

What are you on about? Wtf cryptofash?

Don’t reply, the comment wasn’t for you, it was about you.

What is with so many people on Lemmy suddenly deciding it’s their job to police the internet? I haven’t seen that behavior in months and I’ve suddenly seen it a lot just within the last week or so.

Actually it’s in honor of my brother’s birthday because he actually was 13 when I started using the account name. (I am a few years younger) I didn’t learn about the HH thing until many years later, but I keep it anyway because thinking about my brother makes me happy whenever I notice it.

It’s not woke!! Helldivers 1 and 2 is just a fantasy game based loosely on my favorite movie: Starship Troopers. And if you think Starship Troopers is some sort of woke propaganda, then I can’t help you. Don’t try to ruin a perfectly good game with pandering wokeness just like you all tried to do with Star Trek.

Sceptre seems to be a popular brand mentioned in this thread. Thanks for the input!

I don’t think that you fully understand what the word “prefer” means. I said that I don’t want to give up access to my third-party apps if possible, not that I would never consider a factory reset.
It might help to grab a dictionary before you start policing the internet from your porn account.

Nero?

Thanks!

“I wish my cancer riddled grandmother wasn’t suffering.”

“Well, you could always just kill her! Then she would feel anything!”

???

Even more so, I didn’t even disagree or say that they were wrong. Just that I’d prefer not to do that because, along with my grandmother not suffering, I also want her to be alive. Contrary to popular belief, humans are capable of wanting multiple things at the same time. Have you ever been thirsty while you had to pee?
