I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find it this explanation.

My first thought was “wait did discord saying something bad about FOSS lately?” No, nothing unusual. Must be missing something.

Turns out some people see Discord as a sort of mascot for closed source, and that is what the joke hinged on.

Edit:

Actually it’s worse than that, isn’t it? They’re seeing the coexistence of closed source as being antithetical to open source.

Good luck with that I guess.

It showed up for me about a month ago. I put up with it for about a week and then broke down and finally switched all my browser search engines to duckduckgo.

The funny thing is, I tried making this same switch a couple years ago. I legitimately had a harder time getting the results I needed and ended up switching back to Google.

Google is worse than useless to me now.

Gmail has a bad habit of losing my emails anyway. Maybe yours too if you ever used Google Inbox.

I migrated my main account to Inbox and it was honestly the best email experience I’ve had. Unfortunately, the forced migration following its collapse left my Gmail riddled with problems.

Granted, it’s not losing days worth of email. It just occasionally attempts to automatically categorize emails into categories that don’t exist, removing them from my inbox and leaving them in a weird uncategorized limbo space. Once there, I have to search for them specifically before they will show up anywhere.

The worst part is, it is so inconsistent that I have no clue when to expect it. I have missed major bills this way.

I have a coworker who is also an Inbox refugee. He is the only other person I’ve met with identical Gmail issues.

99 percent of ADHD memes are just describing normal human condition.

And when a normal human condition becomes a significant problem, we call it a disorder.

Hey yeah it’s funny you ALSO forget shampoo sometimes. Yep, that is normal. Sounds like it’s not a problem for you then. Cool.

Made me check hope, even though I knew it was a shitpost.

NO.

If anyone has a term for this specific phobia, please let me know

I had no clue about this. Thanks for the heads up. Not sure which one I installed but it’s on my test machine and I can check tomorrow

I just installed gimpshop the other day on a whim and immediately I could work at 90% capacity just based 20+ years of Photoshop muscle memory. Gimp never lasted more than a day with me the dozen or so times I’ve tried it before.

There are ways to make it work, and the tooling out there is getting better every day.

For me it depends entirely on 1) which hobby and 2) how the mainstream audience shapes it; if investors believe they can make more money by promoting certain aspects of the hobby, they can change it’s entire landscape. And that’s not even getting into what can happen when IP law gets involved.

It’s a shitty tradeoff to have to make, because sometimes I just want to everyone to enjoy what I enjoy. I’ve also seen hobbies die from too much exposure.

One is trying to tangle a ball of yarn into.a mess and the other is attempting to untangle it and knit a cardigan.

Building on this metaphor, one of my single biggest frustrations with the left is how many of them won’t accept anything short of a fully knit cardigan; unless they get exactly what they want, they’d rather just hand it over to the tanglers.

We’re still a lot better over distance, iirc, which is why we are able to ride them

It’s always seemed so wholesome to me how the trans folks are such a huge part of what makes that sub awesome but also it’s not a “trans sub”, so you get all these people there for the memes also experiencing fully normalized transness

Yes but LSD can be absorbed through the skin, so you wouldn’t have to go through all the trouble of convincing someone to eat poison

I interpreted it as a sarcastic exaggeration, like all animals are “divine” compared to machines

• owner: wtf gov
• gov: try another gov

Nice try, FBI!

I think it’s the fact that those groups are the gender groups that is causing the frustration. If it’s arbitrary, why did it have to be the same system we use to classify organisms and personal identities?

That’s the problem though. His core supporters define themselves by who they oppose, so anything negative said about him is seen as an attack and becomes fuel for the hate machine
