The big brain move was to ask them first, thereby proving you wanted to use their IP.

If he had just faked it anyway without asking he might have got away with it.

Genius strategist.

Yeah? Cool.

I don’t think that’s true. There’s a great video here that highlights the fact that even a lot of modern slang is far older than you think.

Mate, the thing about gen x is that they dont care. This is boomer energy being projected.

Which is cool, I guess, whatever.

The second it becomes the standard is the second google looks for ways of nerfing it.

Influencers are just fleshy billboards for whoever wants them to shill.

It isn’t a job, it is a resource.

And honestly, I think we are all getting tired of seeing their burning faces and hearing their vapid takes.

OK Loomer.

That’s a bit like saying you can find cheaper rollercoasters outside Disney Land.

It’s true, but price isn’t why people go. It’s prestige and experience.

Also the first twin stick arcade game I played.

So, like none of these folk read The Running Man then?

Or many of the hundred times this idea has been used in Sci-fi.

Not viruses as such, at least according to the inventor of the term, rather they are already part of our inheritable structure, our DNA (so to speak) seeking new ways to be inherited.

Pretty sure Gaza doesn’t need the Green party declaring genocide on them, they’re already dealing with one.

I use both, but honestly, some mastodon users can’t help but be outright patronising and hostile to newcomers.

The whole “we don’t do that here” vibe clearly puts folk off. Weirdly, it isn’t the long term users that do that, bug more recent converts.

Why do you think that is?

It’s always been about context and provenance. Who took the image? Are there supporting accounts?

Not sure where you are from, but I suspect not the UK.

Yeah, and fractions of that stone? Pounds.

So like 10 stone 5 pounds.

Or, conversely, just switch to Linux.

Take an hour or so to have a look around the place.

Go on the internet if you have any questions.

People are smarter than you assume and if you want Linux to grow in popularity we need to stop pretending any if this is difficult.

I think some folk want to pretend using Linux is hard so that they can feel more… Uh… Technical for using it.
