  • rock

  • Then he promptly licked the rock

  • Alien

  • While I will definitely get an Elmer Fudd reference, I won't really identify with it. It was already an outdated culture while I was growing up. It was the cartoon I watched when I didn't have other cartoons to watch.

    Basically, my father would make jokes about being "vewy vewy quiet" because we were hunting "wabbits". I knew what he was talking about, and appreciated the humor, but it wasn't my humor.

  • Alien

  • Saw it, yeah. But it never really hit with me as something I identify with. I saw tons of things made before I was born, but things that came out after I was completely conscious of storytelling resonate differently.

    ET doesn't do anything for me in this meme. It might as well be Elmer Fudd.

  • Mormons outraged after Hegseth military policy no longer counts LDS as Christian

  • As a deployment manager that made dog tags for a few years, we didn't care. Jedi, Pastafarian, Dudist, whatever. You are doing your country a service that most people can't really comprehend. I'll put whatever you want in that section as long as the other stuff that actually matters is correct.

  • They just made the winning bid

  • I worked on a green missile system. This is very accurate

  • Seriously, Why GIMP Dev(s), Why??

  • Or WINE

  • You can count past 1,000 on your fingers by using binary, instead of just 10

  • I don't really see how that is better than the count to 1035 that you get from binary though.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • KDE connect all the way. Runs on Linux, Android, and Windows (I think). Good way to share files, notifications, and clipboard.

  • Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admirals

  • I mean, I take giving someone a less than honorable discharge so they can stand trial in a civilian court where they got a forty year sentence as more than "Jack shit"...

  • Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admirals

  • And he was discharged, tried for murder and sentenced to over 40 years in jail.

    What do you think should have been done by the military unit that would have made this better?

  • Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admirals

  • Every org is going to have extremists, but you are talking about a former military member that was discharged with a less than honorable discharge, who then committed and was sentenced for murder.

    What do you think the AFB should have done here?

  • No words

  • Just as a heads up, but if you did enjoy the Princess Bride, the book/Audio book "As You Wish" is legitimately delightful.

    A good amount of the cast get together to talk about all the interesting things that went into making the movie.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Hence why I went with "simply charge for the OS". They are moving from monetizing the software to monetizing the user.

    But yes, red line must go up

  • Permanently Deleted

  • It pretty much comes down to wanting to monetize the user experience instead of simply wanting to charge for the OS in the traditional way. The user becomes the commodity instead of the software.

  • I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them.

  • I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was just asking what two options you were talking about. It was just a normal question with no motive.

  • I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them.

  • Both what?

  • Google fucked a whole generation with Chromebooks, and now they're fucking the next generation with AI

  • I am pretty sure that a base level of tech literacy is something that is not "impossible". Sure your average user may not be willing or able to get there, but I am pretty well immersed in the tech world and have a working knowledge on most of the important platforms and concepts.

  • Should half naked pictures of anime characters be marked NSFW on Lemmy?

  • I would have no problem if that popped up in my feed while I was in a public place.

    That said, I don't think it would be safe for work, so the nsfw would apply. But I would not be browsing Lemmy at work either.

  • Done and done.

  • Separation of church and state is not in the Constitution. The closest you will get is the first amendment, which prevents Congress from establishing a religion, or preventing the free practice of one.

    I'm with you that religion should not be forced in schools, but you can't use the Constitution to prevent this particular issue.
