Comes to the .ml memes community from .world and complains about political memes lmao.

No one is forcing you to read these posts. You can shape Lemmy to be whatever you want. You want right wing memes, so basically X or 4chan.

Mad because the world repeatedly dunks on your dollar store hero.

My wife and I have a friend that’s an introvert like we are. Sometimes he’ll come over and we might play a bunch of Mario Party and Mario Kart, but other times we will all play separately on our handhelds or laptops and chill while something plays on YouTube. Sublime. Don’t need to constantly have a conversation going and there’s no drinking involved.

Wow, this has a ton of features.

In true tech bro dumb dumb fashion, instead of recognizing failure and learning from it, he doubles down and blames the critics.

Thanks!

So when do we start shooting back?

My brother is from that era. I used to hangout with him and his friends when I was a kid and they were easily some of the nicest, smartest, most accepting people I knew. They’re a big reason for my radicalization into adulthood.

That whole friend circle has been decimated by AIDS. It’s really sad. He has a couple friends that made it through, but things will never be the same for him or the remaining friends.

Edit: thinking about this more, it makes me thankful to still have my brother around. On the non-selfish side, I’m sad he has to endure such loss and grief.

You can see a mix of escapism and “how do I fast track as much money as possible?”

When you use old tech like that, sometimes it becomes a security feature.

What is your ssd? That sounds awesome.

I could see this one working. It has the little signature cut off corner.

Up arrow to Lakitu.

What even is a good alternative save icon these days?! This is the only save icon I know.

Edit: lmao I’ve gotten so many replies! I love y’all.

Dating back to the first Android phone, the G1. I was installing custom ROMs on that first, and then when I eventually got a Nexus 5, I started to de-Google.

I’m on an iPhone now because I had a string of bad luck with how shit most Android phones are, but I’m still privacy and security-minded:

• I have no social media accounts - no one can actually find me except through my personal website or LinkedIn (but they obviously have to know my name first for either). If/when people complain about it, I shrug at them. I’m not signing up for TikTok so you can send me some vapid video
• I use a VPN 24/7
• Proton as my mail provider
• My wife and I don’t use any streaming services - Stremio for everything (through Real Debrid so no torrents can be tracked)
• I use a virtual card service so that absolutely nothing has our actual credit and debit card numbers (some with limits set so a service can’t arbitrarily raise rates on us, or go rogue and accidentally charge too much)
• Windows is not allowed to touch a single computer I own. It’s either macOS for work stuff, or Linux for everything else

I read this as I sit at my desk with 3 monitors in my face and a refilled coffee cup. We finally get amazing weather and it falls on a Monday! Cruel.

Sworn, way too much Ball X Pit, and Resident Evil Code: Veronica.

Fascists making a tool that does nothing but steal Other people’s work is so on brand for them. They’re incapable of making anything original.

Ahh this is awesome. Funny enough, before I was a web dev, I was a graphic artist. Showing my age as well, my first version of Photoshop was 5 and I learned how to edit on old PowerMacs in high school. In the early 2000s I was on a forum with a similar group of folks. I think I was the only one with formal training, so I’d design forum signatures for everyone, as well as show people how to do their own graphics (as well as where to ahem acquire the software to do so).

I got into IRC and all of those tools late in life, but forums were fun back in the day.

I always wanted to checkout Siggraph but never got the chance.
