  • Nah. Hate Musk, deleted Twitter when I heard he was potentially buying it, but there’s really no original logos left.

    I can’t remember the name, but there’s a HUGE book of logos, which shows the original date that logo was made, and you can pretty much find every single brand logo in that book. Every single brand is basically an unintentional copy of a logo that has already existed in 1800-1900s.

    There is also a clear difference in the logos above. Really, how many different ways can you do an X?




  • You could have worn the best mask available to you this entire time and leaving the house one time over the last 3 years would still out you ar risk. Short of being a shutin forever, what would you have people actually do?

    Maybe America shouldn’t have declared COVID over when it was at its peak because they were “tired of wearing masks”?

    I still wear my mask because COVID is still around. Never caught it. I have always properly worn it, wear it every time no exceptions, and be sure to properly wash my hands as well as wipe down my groceries and everything else that enters my home.

    My girlfriend and I are the only two people we know that has not gotten COVID.

    The amount of people I see who claim they wear their mask all the time but then post Instagram photos of them hanging out with people is too damn high. Just because they are friends or family doesn’t mean they can’t spread COVID to you lmao.






  • I literally have like 1TB of video stored on YouTube and privatized. Google is making $0 from my videos, but they still have to store them and have them available if I want to watch it (it’s all of my Twitch VODs). Meanwhile websites like Streamable perma-delete my 5MB video after it gets 0 views in 2 milliseconds.

    YouTube is a behemoth that will not be replaced.


  • I’m sorry, but blaming him for breaking his os because he didn’t check for updates first is ridiculous. The difference is that in Windows, the entire os wouldn’t break if you decided to install steam first. If it did, you would blame Microsoft. Same with MacOS.

    It’s not his fault. It was a bug in the os, which is the fault of the pop_os! developers. You also can’t blame him if the command he used was wrong, because Linux users love giving terminal commands to people without explanation and refusal to explain how it could also be done via the UI if preferred.

    You know what the better reaction would be? To criticise the developers for allowing a bug like that to make it into production. To explain to the user that it happened to that it’s not their fault, it was a rare bug, and was super unfortunate. Offer them an explanation, maybe suggest other distros that are more polished, and help them with their Linux journey.

    Blaming them for something that wasn’t their fault isn’t welcoming, isn’t going to want to make them want to stay, and will make sure they think twice before trying again.

    Not sure why you’re upset that he didn’t want to use Fedora? That’s the beauty of Linux, there are plenty of distros. That’s what sets Linux apart. Maybe you don’t want to use Ubuntu because of it’s layout, or a different distro because it’s red and you like green. No matter the reason, who cares? Guess what? I’ve had more issues with Fedora than any other distro I’ve ever used. If you asked me, I’d say Linux Mint is the best ootb experience, and I’m sure someone else will tell me that Linux Mint fucked their wife and killed their cat and that I’m a stupid racist for thinking that.

    Edit: also want to make it clear that windows and MacOS both have their own issues, some of which are really bad. No OS is perfect, and I think we should stop being weirdly defensive over a damn operating system. If one of them was leagues better, multiple OSes wouldn’t exist.





  • With every answering system having a 65 hour long COVID policy update added to their intro in both English and French (Canadian here), my number would have to look like

  • Every other phone is full of garbage bloatware that is not easily uninstalled from the worse companies, like Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft.

    Other companies promise updates, but you’re waiting months if not years (or even never) for them.

    and most importantly, every other phone I have used is super laggy or stuttery. Even though the Pixel 6/7 have lesser specs than the S22 Ultra, the S22 Ultra performed terribly compared to my 6 Pro (I now have a 7 Pro).

    I posted a comment on Lemmy about my experience with my S22 Ultra and how it was filled with ads, despite it costing $2000 CAD ($700 MORE than the Pixel 6/7 Pro) and being an unlocked model.
