And we're the ones who need our head examined?
I've tried studying CSa d programming, both formally and informally, for long enough to know most of what y'all are talking about, but failed terribly enough that I still have no idea how people can actually build code. Syntax is easy enough, I always started a class like oh cool I can do this. And then they drop me off the deep end and I fail, every time. I work in IT infrastructure now and I'm happy to say I never have to worry about coding, though my foundational knowledge is useful for troubleshooting.
I was 21 in 2008, and I'd been a fan of Ctrl Alt Del since near it's beginning. I was a huge web comic fan in general, and I got intensely emotionally invested in them, even the silly ones.
This strip hit me exactly as he intended it to. It resonated with me I guess because of my brother and sister in law going through a miscarriage shortly before. Either way, it had a powerful impact on me and I didn't see this "tonal shift" as a problem. That's kinda dumb if you ask me, lots and lots of comedies have serious moments.
Anyway, I didn't know this meme until a few years ago and it always makes me sad. It's dumb, I know.
I'm super sensitive to negativity, which is why I was always a lurker in reddit, I always got shat on whenever I shared anything, to the point that I'd just delete my account and hide from the internet for a while.
I don't read it any differently with or without just. I'm not sure what you mean by apologetic or why that would be a bad thing.
People write work emails differently, but I write more like the "don't" list than the "boss" list in most situations. I also rarely put much thought into it unless it's an extremely delicate situation. The only problem I have with this post is it's presumption that your way is the boss way and the other way is somehow inferior.
While I personally don't, the difference between this and that is that most people here, together as a community, have decided, again together, that they don't want to federate with Meta apps because of a long history of privacy and other abuses.
That's not the same thing as another billionaire pissed off because they are doing exactly what capitalism is "supposed to do"
Do better or die is the whole philosophy no?
Wow that's awful. I didn't think I could hate apple anymore than I have been for the last 17 years (I still remember the time my friend tried copying my music collection to is ipod and itunes deleted the entire folder)
Well the flip coin is the same. New users coming to a place and using language they feel is natural, and then judging them for not using your own specific terminology is also "A Choice" It's not up to anyone what other people call things.
Do people think socialists or communists are bothered by this term tankie? It's like called a white person cracker. It's not really the effect youre hoping for, I promise.
I honestly doubted I'd be able to stay away from reddit. I've tried many times before. I've deleted 5 major accounts since 2012.
But Lemmy seems to have been the nicotine patch I've needed. Haven't been on Reddit outside google searching for info, which isn't going away for me personally.
Only thing I actually miss is baseball and my team sub.
Ive been using it a bit, just in case it helps bring down Twitter lol
