It looks like that got fixed anyway.

And Linux nerds.

Sorry, best we can do is microtransactions, fear of missing out and AI slop. That’ll be $90.

You couldn’t crank your CPU in the olden days, it’d make games run in fast forward.

Nobody wants to deliberately use the wrong compression type when extracting, so modern tar will figure out the compression itself if you just point it at a file. So tar -xf filename works on almost anything. You don’t need to remember which flag to use on a .tar.bz2 file and which one for a .tar.xz file.

Disney characters are proboscis monkeys:

This. Your mail isn’t going to be opened by the CEO. Hurt the business, not the worker. Mail them a box of rocks or something, the company will pay postage on it and the minimum wage guy opening packages will laugh.

Punching up isn’t bullying.

I’ve heard that’s a thing - people spend the morning in church being told that they’re better than everyone else and then they carry that attitude with them when they go out to eat after church. It takes them a few hours to sober up and remember how to human.

“Hey, here’s a useful thing that I recommend to people: <your work>”

It’s basically a compliment

But then you can’t inflate the numbers by putting a 3.7 volt battery in a power bank, listing the capacity in amp-hours and implying that you get that many amp-hours at the power bank’s 5V output voltage.

We’ve all had Kerbal Space Program missions that went like that.

I remember hearing during lockdown that sales of business pants had tanked, but sales of business shirts hadn’t.

It was originally one computer that everyone connected to, it wasn’t a fleet of separate computers like Windows PCs.

12% of humans believe we aren’t apes

All humans are apes, those people more so than most.

A lot of writers apparently have no idea how to write interesting female characters. Some of the pushback from viewers / readers to increasing the number of female characters isn’t about the characters being female, it’s about them being bad characters. Boring, annoying, quippy, etc.

Nobody wants to admit that their movie flopped because it wasn’t very good, so they blame sexism. Or piracy, that one’s always popular.
