On transgender people, McMillan says “When you see a guy walk down the street and he’s got a little skirt on, and he’s so happy. Why shouldn’t you be happy? This is America, it’s beautiful to watch someone different.”

Based-ish? He’s clearly happy to see trans folk be happy, but still adresses them by their former gender. His heart feels like its in the right place.

severely underpowered camera

Bruh, the first iPhone didn’t have a camera

I have a lot of shot to say about Steve Jobs, but he knew what asthetics he wanted. He would loathe the current trend with phones having a camera bulge. Look at all the iPhones released under him, look at the back of them. If they had a camera it was flush with the back of the phone.

I have never been a good speller, and this app nor my phones keyboard do spellchecking.

Whoops, I was sitting down a few hours later and suddenly remembered it and edited my comment. My bad

I mean, spellings of words change all the time. Hell, when I was in school you’d lose points on papers for spelling “doughnut” as “donut”, but now that shorter version is concidered a correct spelling and is no longer tagged by spell check.

We as a society can literally will this spelling to be concidered correct through shear usage.

Mine was when, i don’t remember, speaker of the house ®?, said his favorite band was rage against the machine.

Like dude, those guys hate you.

Yeah it’s a profoundly stupid take.

There’s the famous Whoopi Goldberg quote about how as a little kid she saw it with a black woman not beimg a maid and running around the house screaming about it in celebration

There’s the famous story about Nichelle Nichols wanting to quit to do plays until MLK jr told her that she needed to stay for black people everywhere to be represented as an equal member of the crew, and it was the only show he’d let his kids stay up late to watch.

From its inception it’s been “woke” by daring to put both a black woman and an asian man in roles where they were to be treated as equals and valued members of the group.

I’d like to add more examples, but it’s been so long since I’ve watched any star trek.

EDIT: I just remembered the not at all subtile jab at racism with the two guys that had half black half white faces.

I remember getting flagged on my sources and properly attributed quotes. I’m sorry joe schmoe and I both quoted the same article and used the same quote from it.

I am, or was, a little hopeful that the dead space 1 remaster was an IP health check and what would follow would be a new dead space. According to EA it did do better than they expected so if it was a health check it clearly passed, but theres been no news of any more dead space, so yeah I’m bummed too.

I once applied to a job at microsoft, and got a rejection email from them, on their own email platform, from 5 minutes in the future.

Remember, cancel disney+, hulu, and espn and tell them its because they canceled kimmel. Make it hurt Disney’s wallet, its the only thing they understand.

Man, I tried multiple times to get into RDR2. I really want to like it, and I love RDR. But my god that game feels like a job with all the small things you need to remember to do.

Man, even the gun system annoyed me. I’m fine with them having like 4 slots or whatever it was for weapons, but I remember so many times riding to a mission on my horse, selecting the guns I wanted to use and after like 50 feet Arthur would decide “welp, I’m not using these guns, better shove em back in my horse” leadong me to not having a gun ready at the start of a mission. I think that was the straw the broke the camels back for me, just hold the guns I selected Arthur.

Fun fact, IE is still on windows 11, and it can be used though not through normal means. To any C#/.NET devs out there, on winforms the “browser” control is IE, and is still supported. Additionally some programs (like my company’s ERP) still can and do launch full standalone IE under certain situations.

Ah, I don’t use KDE, that is a dumb name for a file manager.

Naming, like in the general sense, it seems like many software have some ridiculous names (dolphin, ncmpcpp, gimp, foot, gnome)

For dolphin, if your talking about the emulator it is avalible for windows too and its called that since thats what the gamecube was called internally.

For gimp, yeah i hate the name too, its the “gnu imange manipulation program” and is also avalible for windows.

Those programs that look like random assortments of characters are generally libraries that other programs use to standarize functionality across programs. Don’t want there to be 15 different ways for your computer to understand “write this file to this location” for example. You’ll generally never need to know what they are or what they do.

Yea, im on a 6 pro with calyx. Its been my daily driver now for a few years. Apps that use in app purchases work to varying degrees. Up until recently pokemongo didn’t launch as an example. Others won’t load prices or store pages well, but thats to be expected without full google approval.

Some banking apps do work some don’t. Mine stopped working for like 3 weeks then returned to normal.

Everything bluetooth has worked on here just fine. Every day i connect my bluetooth headset and listen to podcasts at work or through bluetooth in my car just fine.

I literally had the “Java is to javascript as car is to carpet” conversation with my dickhead boss. He didn’t get it and I had to explain to him that you don’t drive a carpet to work.

Yeah, I really don’t understand why they hired me. It was a contract role and they ended it early once they ran out of things for me to do. Last day I drove home laughing the way home I was so fucking happy to leave that place.

They really sucked afterwards though since they wouldn’t even say if I worked there or not while I was job hunting, so I spent the next few months unemployeed.

insert thats the neat part meme

Eventually it was decided I would write Javascript on a web page I made. Skills I never declaired having I told them I was a java dev.
