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.
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.
“Et al” is a pretty funny honorific though
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
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
Except if you have a pretty good life and don’t want to mess up the timeline that led you there.
But but but if customers know how much it’s going to cost ahead of time, they might decide to go somewhere else!
People defend what’s familiar, even if it’s shit
2018 also needs one of those chatbot popovers in the bottom right of the page
As a power fantasy mostly. They might pass it around and use it to jerk each other off but not much more than that. The problem is, it’s only a fantasy until it makes it’s way into the hands of someone with the means and derangement to act on it: two qualities which, depending on where you live, can be unsettlingly easy to come by
ADHD has gifted me with an overwhelming drive to take on every single project and activity that comes to mind. ADHD also makes it incredibly difficult to actually do any of those projects and activities because no matter how hard I try to fight it, I will eventually need to stop and sleep.
There will always be fewer hours in the day than I need. No nueurotypicals need to be involved for it to just plain suck. If I had infinite time and resources, it would probably be awesome
