hmmm, but you don’t pronounce most emojis, maybe 🤷‍♂️ but that’d be about it. come to think of it, is pronounceability required to fit the definition?

i look at my wall clock quite a lot, mainly because it’s easier for me to visualise the “distance” of time with it. and hour on my phone is not much different from 5min

'tis very simple. my nose doesn’t smell at all, it’s everyone else’s noses that have smells! just like with accents

darkroom is the open source alternative to lightroom, both are vastly different from photoshop

well i used photoshop for a solid 8 years so i’d consider myself at the very least an advanced amateur

i don’t need it for work right now, but i used to

i got both but decided to first learn krita as i like drawing more than image manipulation. though i’ll be needing to hop into gimp soon i feel, as krita’s text editing options are clunky at best

as in i didn’t used to work with krita all day or i wouldn’t be working with krita all day now?

i miss photoshop. not enough to boot into my windows partition, but it sure would be nifty if it would just work on linux. krita is decent but danggit, not the same

could you elaborate on what you mean by “performance” of cloud storage? the speed of upload, download?

the average lemmy user is much more tech literate than an average person

people really don’t know that kind of stuff. to many a computer is a computer, it has internet, and plays games… what’s an operating system?

also remember to not accidentally put sugar (roughly 1kg sugar [or 2 pounds] per 1000kg cement) into a coment mixer because it will completely destroy the whole batch :(

it’s less about intelligence and more about just not caring and being numb to ads

i used opera for around 13 years. i knew about the flaws but i was simply used to it, and as long as adblock worked i couldn’t be bothered to switch to anything else

then my laptop broke and only that happening gave me the incentive to install something else, i was starting from (close to) scratch anyway

it’ll take a lot of effort for people to abandon what they know, even if they’ll be moving towards something better

i use Zen now :) it’s nice

as a fresh linux convert all of my games work on linux thanks to steam. it even runs my ancient 2007 arcade-esque game that i was sent in an email from the dev better than windows used to

valve has put in the work for us, and now no gamer can use that as an excuse

man, imagine calling people lazy for not wanting to do double the work just so a social media platform has more content

why don’t you start archiving all tech issues from reddit since you have so much free time?

yeah man but when i have an issue i want a solution to that problem, i’m not thinking about the engagement strategies of social media environments

the problem with reddit is that it used to be amazing, and is still the best place to ask questions (though with the number of bots this is slowly becoming less and less true).

i still vividly remember the time when i spent 2 weeks messaging microsoft support that insisted that i need to replace the device i just bought, even though i repeatedly told them the device works fine with a different machine so something must be wrong with my PC. so i got frustrated and asked the same question on reddit, within a few hours someone diagnosed exactly what was wrong, and gave me tips on how to fix it (or well, in that case i needed to walk around the issue rather than fix it)

and even now whenever i look up tech issues the first results that actually have thought behind the words (instead of sponsorships for whatever driver updating software company bought the article) it’s usually on reddit

it’s such a shame it’s been aggressively going down hill, it could’ve truly stayed the front page of the internet for decades. all it had to do was not get worse for the user

how does what that person said imply that?

tf you expected we’re all broke. you’re lucky some of us haven’t heard of piracy yet (somehow)

it’s still an asshole move though, only a soulless corporation would ever clutch to the “well actually” of a single point of an average of reviews to deny a whole bonus

even if they were cheeky like “oh you were one point short so the bonus will be 5% less than we promised haha” it’d have been better than a binary yes/no
