“There’s a man in the bathroom and there’s something hard in his pants!”

Ah right on, makes sense.

Yep! Twitter is going to be Weixin. I’ll go to my grave calling it twitter in a pathetic display of disapproval.

What’s wrong with Cory? I think he’s brilliant.

Unless you’re suggesting some kind of utopian emergence from the ashes.

This is just the beginning. He’s going to force the government to run through twitter. Then you’ll only be able to pay your bills through twitter. Then your national ID will be authorized through twitter. Then all banking through twitter. It’s coming.

I’m down 100%. Also give them rifles. Now we’re talking.

Maybe it’s because they’re subverting the largest and most powerful democracy in the world. Wait until the real purges start. I bet you won’t be able to dig a hole deep enough to fit your head.

Upgrade your Mexican food game to birria or tacos de lengua/cachete.

Real Mexicans drink bud lite. I swear it’s a joke.

They don’t realize that race is essentially fiction. Skin color is an easy visual test if someone is good or bad. We’re fucking apes.

Don’t forget Curtis Yarvin, and his predecessor Adelson. They think democracy was a mistake.

Go back to Reddit asshole.

Yeah it’s wild. I don’t think it’s good but I’m not doing a great job teaching. One of my gen Z nephews expressed an interest so I gave him my old PC, took it apart with him and put it back together, explained everything.

He rearranged his room and told me when he hooked everything back up his games were super slow. Every time I touch his PC I clean it up from scam shit spyware etc. I pretend not to notice where all this stuff came from.

But this time was different. He’d plugged his monitor into the motherboard instead of the graphics card. He recently redid his room again and got it right this time! Small victories.

For real. I’ve taught people copy paste shortcuts and they act like I’m an alien.

So I’ve been in the DOS/Windows world for at least 30 years. I have never used Linux, but I can configure a Cisco server or switch and stack a rack. Yet I fail your test?

I’m a xennial. I was so excited by computers, and later the internet. It completely absorbed me to the point that I would get up an hour early for school so I could mess around with the computer before catching the bus. A beautiful (ugly) Compaq with a 200n megabyte hard drive, 2 megs of ram. 86 architecture. I was about 11 years old.

I played a few games, but I spent much more time messing around the system in DOS. Making batch files, then working with qbasic. Of course I played Nintendo games as well. After we got internet I used a 28.8kbps modem to upload my own webpage via FTP.

I remember thinking, even as a child/teenager, that the kids of the future were going to be incredible, being born into the digital internet age. I was so wrong. My classmates struggled with computers because they weren’t amazed by them like I was. Touch typing class had nothing on ICQ.

I think there are a lot of xennials on Lemmy. It was crushing to see that the generations before and after us can’t comprehend the basics of computers. Then smartphones happened and everything got so much worse.

Wonder if it’s panning out.

Really depends on the lens.

mechanical /mĭ-kăn′ĭ-kəl/ adjective

"mechanical skill."

Operated or produced by a mechanism or machine.
"a mechanical toy dog."

Of, relating to, or governed by mechanics.

You’re using the second definition and everybody else, including me, is thinking of the first or third. I would call anything that has a mechanism integrated into it, such as a manual slide that covers a camera, no matter how simple, to be mechanical. A playground teeter totter is pushing the definition, but I’d say it’s technically mechanical.

I saw probably the same photo as you! The article wasn’t even about that, we just noticed it in the photo. I immediately went and taped over my camera.

His potential neurodivergence does not excuse the evil. The majority of autistic people comprehend morality.
