Remember CDs? Actually owning stuff?

I went back to Winamp last year and don’t regret it at all.

Posts like this are proof positive of Dead Internet Theory, because surely no human could be this oblivious to an obvious joke

- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 days ago:
Aside from all the other issues surrounding it, every demo I’ve seen so far is creepy uncanny valley stuff that I found unsettling and wouldn’t want to be playing.
- Comment on ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push 1 week ago:
The irony is that I typed JIRA in lowercase and my phone autocorrected it to JIRA
- Comment on ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push 1 week ago:
I’m amazed they had 1600 employees to begin with. I guess it takes a lot of resources to make something suck as hard as JIRA
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 1 week ago:
Literally my entire point was that people are offering some strong opinions without having read the complaint, and here you are demonstrating exactly that.

As a general rule of thumb if something sounds stupid then it’s probably been reported badly with some key information missing.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 1 week ago:
My suggestion is that probably their lawyers have examined the case in rather more detail than the armchair lawyers on here pontificating based on an eight-sentence summary. Incidentally, PRS are a 175,000-member artists’ rights collective that very often represent a significant portion of individual artists’ incomes, they’re not some sort of grubby billionaire-owned patent troll.

For the benefit of those here suggesting this is a spurious or vexatious lawsuit: in the UK, it’s standard for a plaintiff to be forced to pay all the respondent’s legal fees if they lose.

Either they’re all ironic [] or none of them are ironic
Textbook false dichotomy, and not how I read it at all. Setup->Punchline is the most basic joke format in existence.

…and, without any sense of introspection whatsoever, continuing to miss the point…

“Is it possible I’ve completely missed the point? No, it must be everybody else here who’s wrong!”

- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
yes but actually no. There’s a hidden pull cord under the bottom mat of the “map pocket” that you have to remove, along with whatever else you were storing in there at the time. That’s assuming the cord hasn’t fallen out of reach inside the door or otherwise become inaccessible during the accident, of course.
The owner’s manual section on “how to open the door if there’s no power” spans 4 pages (viewed on mobile) and has 3 diagrams to illustrate the steps.
(incidentally, opening the frunk with no power is a separate page with ten steps and begins, “To open the powered frunk when Cybertruck has no power, you need a power source that provides between 9V and 16.5V”… it’s like they’re trying to be shit.)

Newish account to promote loops
Probably, but it seems to be an open-source fediverse community project with no VC backing, so I don’t begrudge them it. Like, how else do you get projects like this seen if not in a fediverse discussion community, you want them to just buy Google ads instead?
- Comment on meanwhile on instagram 3 weeks ago:
A significant part of Jesus’ teachings is “don’t claim to speak on behalf of God”. Whoever made this meme is a blasphemer.
- Comment on AI blamed again as hard drives are sold out for this year 3 weeks ago:
It’s extremely unhealthy for a free society, to have too much power imbalance between the ruling classes and the people.
- Comment on I don't know the reason why. 3 weeks ago:
I also thought this was a joke until I read the comments. Pistachios have always been pistachio coloured in the rest of the world.
There’s something very American about drowning a perfectly healthy natural product in brightly coloured dye.

So, not aliens then.
- Comment on This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN. 4 weeks ago:
The sightings stopped happening round about exactly the same time as everyone started carrying a video camera in their pocket.
- Comment on This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN. 4 weeks ago:
Is it me or are people just not that bothered about aliens, compared to in the 90s?
- Comment on This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN. 4 weeks ago:
Most old UFO sightings were in areas that are now known to be places where drone technology was being developed and tested.
- Comment on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy actor Kareem Diané decides to do their AMA on Lemmy! 4 weeks ago:
Yeah. I’m a big fan of his, but his social media presence has always had the whiff of “professional social media team” about it.

It would have been so easy for influencewatch to write that in a neutral way, but they couldn’t help themselves from editorializing their very clear opinions into it.

So basically they’re fine with a HOA making all sorts of overreaching rules about keeping dogs as long as they don’t have any basis in a brown people religion?
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 4 weeks ago:
LOL, the sole one single point I made in my post is that I only ever see assertions without evidence, and your response is a bit of handwaving and an ad hominem. Thanks for demonstrating my point so perfectly.
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 4 weeks ago:
Literally anything other than bad faith conspiracy-theory assertions, please.
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 4 weeks ago:
They’re accelrrationist who want conditions to get so bad that their ideas actually seem good.
I’ve seen this claim made a few times before, and it’s never accompanied by a shred of evidence.
