  • smashing printers with baseball bats

    I have years of IT experience, offer Linux support, and am visibly the kind of guy you just know can fix your computer problem (or, if I take my glasses off, I look like I sell weed apparently), and when asked to help with printers I have one answer:

    They’re sentient and they hate you. I was trained in IT, not exorcisms. Send it as a PDF, PNG, or smoke signal before you try troubleshooting.

    Like, I broke my big office one the other day so bad the tech had to come out. What had I done to brick it so badly? Tap a menu option, tap back, then tap a different menu option. If you don’t wait 3s between the second and third tap it errors and freezes and they have to send a tech out to do some sort of 2 hour long ritual where he rubs it and whispers how sorry he is.

    What the fuck is wrong with printers






  • What could’ve fit in a screen of text should not be a video at all

    In your opinion, maybe

    I save videos for later all the time, I just watch them never

    Ok, that’s your own bad habit, guess you don’t need to participate since you won’t watch em

    If some information is not visual-first, and not entertainment, if it may be important to people and should be spread, it also better not be a video

    Tell that to broadcast news. The information provided in videos like this is basically never something original if it’s not entertainment, so you absolutely can find the information elsewhere

    Still have yet to see any arguments as to how relevant content on a relevant link aggregator is in any way bad to people who don’t have a weird hate boner for specific media types, because there isn’t one 😉


  • Because they found it interesting and wanted to discuss it with people?

    Just because it’s low priority doesn’t mean it lacks any interest, we can exist between extremes

    Most people would roll their eyes and move on

    Quite famously 1% of the community are posters, after all. Who the fuck cares what a normal person would post? OP wanted to

    and yet it’s being upvoted because “hooray tribalism” over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.

    Lol, it’s being upvoted because most of us recognize the sub and it’s pathetic mod and are laughing at being reminded of them, if the comments are anything to go by






  • Another way to word this might be “Platform with 8,000,000 monthly streamers/listeners pays less than platform of 1,000 subscribers to view pictures.”

    Think about it for a minute and it becomes pretty clear that shouldn’t be surprising at all

    You subscribe directly to someone on Onlyfans, you subscribe to Spotify as a whole and your listening habits help split the bill. If both are ~10 bucks a month of course one is going to make you more money than the other

    Especially if they’re a lesser known artist. Even if they’re getting listened to, if the same people listen to 3x as much swift or whatever that will impact the lesser known persons earnings

    This article is a dog shit way to bring attention to Spotifys issues, simple as



  • I said “like it’s rape or something” - I didn’t say you’re saying it’s “tantamount to rape”

    ESL or just pretending like you don’t know those are the same thing?

    I’m just talking about the language people use like they’re being personally violated by snaps.

    Theyre literally just using the words to describe what is happening, why are you being weird about it?

    Getting hardcore incel vibes from your attitude, might wanna work on that
