It’s definitely slang.

I honestly envy this person for not being exposed to it.

They should be using Debian, the universal operating system.

lol

I’ve done something similar and it was completely harmless and only served as good entertainment for everyone involved.

Same. To me, messing with a computer seemed like a great way to be on the hook for destruction of school property.

(That said, I did once disable the USB inputs for a computer in the BIOS so the keyboard and mouse would stop working, as a practical joke.)

I guess I never hung around any of you.

Lol, good point. I often forget how I was put in advanced classes at an early age with other students who performed well. I need to consider that more in my adult life, that most of the adults I’m encountering were the people in the regular classes.

A normal computer would cost closer to 500

Wrong.

with something like FreeDOS+OpenGEM.

Sigh. Watching windows users try to make sense of the computing world is always cringe.

P.S. proprietary software should be illegal in education. Full stop.

🙌

Obligatory “China hate” comment missing the forest for the trees.

Yep.

Same shit happened when conditioning students to use “PowerPoint” for science fairs.

The indoctrination starts young.

Looks good to investors when they say “this many accounts use this platform.”

It’s all a part of conditioning people to accept more and more abuse so rich people can get richer.

They don’t want people with standards. They want people with Stockholm Syndrome.

🥱

Always funny seeing people get mad at me because I refuse to be ripped off.

It’s easier today to make a website that would be ‘acceptable’ in 2006.

Who’s arguing? We’re agreeing to disagree.

It looks like you’re getting mad at me for disagreeing with you though. It’s ok for you to think what you want.

Ok. It’s nice that you believe that unionizing is guaranteed to make better products no matter what.

I still think it won’t improve the game as they’ve been listening to the wrong people for too long.

But hey, maybe they can make a new game that’s good.

It would be nice if this improved the game or resulted in better games, but I won’t hold my breath.

Yes I did.

Copyright and patent laws should die, so I don’t care about plagiarism.

It’s the same as saying “he stole my idea!” like a petulant child.

Sigh, more censorship.

Gonna need better communities without the mod abuse soon.

Lol, what? If they want better working conditions, they can work somewhere other than Activision Blizzard, one of the scummiest companies in the world that’s actively contributing to tarnishing the integrity of the medium.

Also, I literally said “Cool” in response to them unionizing, so you’re just straight up lying when you say “you feel like those people, whose vast majority works to feed their family, do not deserve to have better working conditions”

I even clarified by saying what I prioritize.

It’s sad watching you get this mad at me because I said I don’t like a game and then threaten to abuse your power to ban me.

Seek help.

turning toxic because of people like you.

The real toxicity is from the people responding to me like you lying, calling me a narcissist, and threatening to ban me just to support the dogpile.
