Yeah, this is one of the main problems impeding lemmy’s growth. Normies don’t care about “instances.”

Maybe there needs to be some rough IP geolocating to just pick one for them and redirect.

When you unwittingly leave yourself a code timebomb

They intentionally choose to handle errors poorly.

Just like they intentionally choose to handle updates poorly, DON’T YOU WANT TO REBOOT FOR THE FIFTHEENTH FUCKING TIME AND LOSE YOUR SESSION WITH 29 PROGRAMS OPEN ACROSS 8 DESKTOPS WHILE RUNNING A RENDERING PROCESS?

Meanwhile, Linux: why yes, I’ll update the kernel in-place without rebooting and keep your 784 day uptime.

To be more fair, it should be way easier to use root on Android than it currently is, and it could be done without compromising security.

Like, I shouldn’t have to dig through mountains of unofficial documentation from weird sources, only to the find that, whoopsie, this method doesn’t work for your particular submodel of phone, you have to take this ultra-specific path that’s prone to issues and may not work. Oh, and make sure you backup your entire device, because rooting will wipe it and now you have to spend your entire fucking day restoring everything.

Like, just give me the option to enable root access somewhere in the developer settings. It can even be an obscure (but simple) process like it is to enable developer settings in the first place by tapping “about” a dozen times or something. Put up a half dozen warnings explaining why it’s “dangerous” for mortals to enable root for all I care, just make it work.

Microsoft errors be all like

Contact your administrator

Motherfucker, I am the admin.

No joke, I literally know a sysadmin who has a similarly “generic” English name, talks with the same sort of cadence, and even looks similar. I actually clipped that quote from the episode and set it as my notification when he texts me lol.

This is where another one of your pied piper boxes would go

Filing cabinets or oil paints? Which is better?

Your hot take is really just facts.

Do sunflower seeds give you a chubby?

You can just press CTRL+SHIFT+T and CTRL+SHIFT+N continually to reopen closed tabs and windows, respectively, in the order they were closed.

I use it regularly (web dev). A lot of complaints and mockery stems from using it badly. None of the programming languages that are regularly the butt of everyone’s jokes force you to use them badly, they just allow you to. If you follow good practices, you’ll be just fine.

And here I thought pansexual meant you really like cookware.

Ah yes, the well-known FBI motto: serious fury and punishment.

And, of course, everyone knows the US is famously populated by tigers.

This is unironically the real reason.

The same people who wouldn’t notice the comically obvious spelling and grammatical errors, ridiculously silly imagery, and the fact that it’s demanding fucking bitcoin… well, let’s just say they’re not the “attention to detail” types and are more easily captured by scammers.

Mainly a couple of work programs I depend on and it never gets multi monitors right on my laptop. Also, I have to keep myself familiar with Windows to support my customers.

Oh for fucks sake. It’s getting to the point where this needs legislative intervention to put an end to this tomfuckery.

Every day, I’m inching closer and closer to pulling the trigger on moving to Linux once and for all.
