Yeh it’s pretty clearly not sincere in voice. Seems like by saying ‘not satire’ they’re trying to avoid people thinking they mean the content of what the article describes isn’t sincerely true, but given how it’s written, it’s hard to conclude the author cheering on from the sidelines. Te nonchalance and unaffected language when discussing a travesty seems pretty clearly to be a device used for effect which frankly is pretty close to what gets called satire.

I ran a hackintosh for about 7 years and they didn’t care, I used an Apple account. Don’t think I had an iCloud though, maybe it makes a difference that I set up that account originally some years prior to building the hackintosh on a real mac.

I think with memes, there’s something of an implicit promise of at least some degree of comedy. I get the sentiment here about proprietary vs open source operating systems but there doesn’t really seem to be even an attempt at being funny besides maybe the way the characters are drawn which, given that as memes, they are recycled art used to establish the format, they don’t really elicit much of a laugh because there’s not even an expression of humour through the original artwork.

This isn’t really a commentary or a parallel or satire on that distinction between open source and proprietary OS installation, it’s more accurately describable as a complaint. Simply placing this complaint underneath the yes chad and crying wojak’s doesn’t really feel like a step up from a text post that says “I don’t like Windows or Mac OS because you have to pay for them and they make you sign up for and agree to things”. No one asked for my opinion I know, but I think this is a critique worth making: if you sum up your attempted meme in a bland, emotionally neutral sentence and then compare that bare sentence to its proposed meme counterpart and you can barely see the difference then maybe it’s not a meme that has to exist. The format is flexible, but you can still use traditional written words to express complex thoughts, not everything has to be meme-ified and if it’s not even funny when it is, why should it be?

I guess if, as this person says, the intended use is made clear then presumably so long as the original logs from which the report was generated are retained then there shouldn’t really be an issue. Make your nice, digestible reports that normalise over a workday and give a more grand overview of progress, and if they smell a bit too rosy or you just sometimes need a more granular accounting of time then clients/bosses can request the original raw data from the contractor/employee. Maybe this software itself should include some ability to retain a log of the processing that was done so that the relationship between its generated reports and the source data can be more clearly audited if some kind of a trust issue arises.

The hope I guess would be that you make it clear that this is a more executive summary style of report that you’ve added as a courtesy because it’s more useful in context and that’s hopefully enough for whoever you’re reporting to but if they want more transparency or detail it’s all there for them too.

When tomatoes, olives, capsicum and zucchini are ‘fruit’ then the definition isn’t serving it’s purpose for anyone discussing cooking or eating or procuring those things. It’s a different meaning of the word that’s useful in particularly narrow settings but useless outside of those settings. The only reason people like to repeat the claims of ‘technically a fruit’ for various vegetables, outside of the context of maybe agriculture or scientific research or horticulture is because it’s amusingly counterintuitive and contrarian which is exactly why it should be disregarded.

Pineapple remains the only sweet fruit I’ve ventured on a pizza but when you asked this my first guess would have been apple, especially because it pairs so well with pork so I’m surprised that made it to the bad idea category. Did anyone expand on why? I would have thought a pizza with almost any kind of pork but especially thick cut ham would be enhanced by a very sparing quantitiy of thin apple slices. I’d bet even some non-traditional cuts of pork might end up working well, like some thin strips of pork belly.

It also in more recent years had an update that messed with it’s vcd playback ability. Don’t remember exactly the problem but I had a rip of an old vcd and was pleased that it played it back no trouble, and even from the original disc too but then a couple of years later it changed so I had to do something to extract an mpeg2 stream or something to get it to work and it from then on had audio issues that had never been there before.

Weirdly enough I often find things playing back better in IINA than VLC even though as I understand it they’re basically the same under the hood. I also find the reverse occasionally as well.

This is not relevant to the story, but like, what the fuck is happening in this video? It looks like someone tried to artificially create a depth of field by rotoscoping Roseanne and adding a blur to everything behind her or… something. There’s definitely a matte around her that’s occasionally flickering and fucking up. It’s hard to say what exactly because it’s so compressed, but there’s also something else about that video as well (besides it’s subject matter) that’s just really weird.

Seems more sort of cute and questioning than menacing. Seems like he’s cheerfully asking what’s going on.

I think it probably still has to be Christmas sandwiches. It’s a whole British style Christmas dinner in a sandwich.

• Slices of freshly roasted turkey
• Stuffing
• Sliced up roasted pork sausages
• Bacon
• Baked ham
• Baby peas
• Bread sauce
• Thick, salty, meaty turkey gravy
• Cranberry sauce

The key is in stacking it high without it all falling over and then squishing it all down to hold it’s shape. Traditionally for my family it’s the most commercial, crappy supermarket white sliced bread you can find, but I have had it with some pretty yummy sourdough. The bread is important because with all the greasy mushy sauces, it needs a tight crumb structure so you don’t get bits of sauce coming through the holes as you bite. You want something soft because you don’t want to be chewing and tearing hard crusts whilst trying to keep the delicate sandwich all together, but if it’s too soft then it tends to fall apart from all the moisture in the gravy and bread sauce. Sometimes toasting just the inner faces of the bread can work, but it has to be lightly toasted to make sure the bread retains some flexibility during the squish down step.

We all like the sandwiches even more than the actual Christmas dinner, which is already awesome.

Cheapest Logitech mouse I could find in the supermarket about 6-7 years ago.

As others have said, it might be more to do with my browser choice, browser settings and extensions. That said I remember when I first started seeing these years ago that sometimes it’d think I was a robot and sometimes it wouldn’t and maybe it was a placebo effect, but I felt fairly confident then that me jiggling the mouse really helped. Now it doesn’t matter what I do. My natural movement, a deliberately wonky but still single and continuous movement or a totally artificial mouse wiggle after the clock, I’ll always have to do captchas.

I’ve learned from these that I must definitely move my mouse like a robot since it always asks me to do more puzzles afterwards. This is even if I try jiggling it around after clicking just to try and convince it.

I hated it at first, and when it really took off as the trendy thing at least here in my country I particularly hated it because they were outrageously sweet. It was like having a burger between 2 slices of cake, it sucked. I also felt there were textural things that just weren’t right and I complained about the hipster takeover of good burger bread.

I’ve mellowed on it now, I think in part because they’ve actually changed. I think the commercially made ones used in burger places now seem to actually taste of bread and are only just a little sweet and the whole combo especially with lots of mustard works really nicely. They look beautiful and when they aren’t super sweet they add a little something without being too cloying or distracting. I appreciate nice flavourful bread in a burger but ultimately it’s a vehicle and brioche strikes a good balance between the awful grocery store bag of fluff burger buns and super hard chewy hipster sourdough or some weird, not round form factor bread that should really be a pita or a pizza. So long as they’re toasted, they’re all good and it grows on you. Which is fortunate as everybody seems to have decided that that’s burger bread now so I’m glad I picked up the taste for it.

I also had the same thought on the greasiness but then I kind of discovered how much nicer the super greasy, drippy, messy kind of burgers are and once they’re made like that with tons of juice and fat, they’re so greasy and messy that no bread is going to save you from having completely greasy hands anyway so some negligible amount extra from the bun isn’t all that worth worrying about. If it’s one of those burgers with the tighter texture that’s not quite so indulgent, maybe a bit drier, not as big a pattie then the bread is a lot more important and the Brioche is a less good option, especially as it’s also greasy but otherwise, I’ve changed my tune on the brioche.

I know this is a digression from the topic but, what’s with the word ‘cuck’? I’ve never understood why people are called ‘cucks’ as an insult. My understanding is that it’s short for cuckold and that’s always seemed weird to me because if a guy gets cheated on by his partner I don’t automatically think less of them for having that happen to them. There’s another, I assume more modern, sense of the word where ‘cuck’ is referring instead to a fetish where a guy likes seeing their partner have sex with others. But like, if that’s the sense of the word being used when someone is derisively called a ‘cuck’ as an insult then it makes even less sense than the more traditional meaning of the word because if they’re in to that, then surely they’re unlikely to feel particularly ashamed or upset about people calling them that because it’s just… accurate.

Fuck this one guy in particular.

If you don’t count Solitaire then I think it’d probably be Cosmo’s Cosmic Adventure. I suppose technically it might have been this other game where you’re a rabbit and it somehow involved spelling, but I don’t remember what that was called and it was only on my friend’s family’s computer and it was educational so it doesn’t count. It was on a floppy disk that was actually the floppy kind.

Can confirm it’s not a thing that’s happening on my pixel and hasn’t happened on any of my android phones so far.
