Red looks surprisingly effective as well.

Was about to say, I’m a healer main who married a healer main. It has its perks

The “two steps forward, one step back” maneuver. Classic.

I saw this coming and switched to GIMP and Inkscape. It’s been a pain but I’ve managed. I’m just the IT guy though, and I would be laughed out of the room if I suggested our marketing team consider making the same switch.

It’s not a matter of seeing it coming. They just don’t care.

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.

Everyone who neglected to add the “/s” has become an unwitting data poisoner

I was thinking about this the other day. I support some very, very technologically limited users and I wondered if anyone out there is working on a distro/DE that looks and feels just enough like windows to get them by

I would never have considered this before they announced Recall. Now it feels like I’m waiting to see just how hard they push it

Is it not clear which definition of Crypto he’s using?

Linus coming out against cryptography seems so unrealistically silly to me that it’s not even worth considering.

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.

How about Analogue August or Stop Scrolling September?

I’ll also say, Offline October is pretty dang good.

See, I read “a little ADHD” and could immediately think of real examples of family members, coworkers, and even medical professionals saying the full thing:

“Everyone is a little ADHD, so don’t worry about it so much.”

Or:

“Everyone is a little ADHD, so I totally know what you’re going through.”

Or my personal favorite:

“Everyone is a little ADHD, so stop complaining.”

I’m pretty sure the post is addressing the people who do not have ADHD and who go around saying things like “that’s just called being forgetful” when someone describes their symptoms. I see it often in response to people openly questioning if they might have ADHD.

I don’t think it’s addressing people who have ADHD but don’t know it yet or are questioning.

I have been experiencing a lot more of the “ADHD is made up” mentality lately than I ever have before. Not sure why exactly, but I’m guessing OOP has been feeling it too.

Wow, that is absolutely different from how I read it, which is:

“Stop gatekeeping ADHD just because the symptoms don’t always look like symptoms.”

I’ve been experiencing a lot of problems lately where people don’t want to take ADHD seriously. They brush it off as “oh everyone experiences that”, and even sometimes take it all the way to “ADHD isn’t real”

Normies = lurkers

My guess is this saved somebody money.

Simpler design = fewer colors = lower printing cost.

Sometimes this can just be ink cost. Sometimes it can make discrepancies between printers less noticable.

Could still be the other things too

Okay then, where did all the young and in-touch people end up?

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.

it’s becoming more obvious every day that lemmy is where the old and out of touch people migrated to

Hey I’ve heard there’s this really cool app for lipsyncing and dancing. Apparently it’s getting pretty popular. Sounds like you’d have more fun there

Given how many politicians are deeply closeted, I like to imagine they hurried this one along quietly
