You are a nerd and your back hurts

You are a nerd with a CS degree

Yes I suspect that indeed was the joke

Wine works pretty well for a large percentage of Windows programs

Elon shouldn’t be in this chart, too easy to win

One would think, but with both Thiel and Bezos in the competition this isn’t as cut-and-dry as you’d assume. Thiel especially is fucking evil, he’s way worse than Musk

The only libertarian I personally know is anti-LGBT+, just not as rabidly outspoken about it as a “regular” conservative. He’s the sort who’d be happy with gay people being murdered on the streets as long as he doesn’t have to do it himself

any attempt to implement libertarianism will only bring mass amounts of misery and destroyed lives to anyone beneath the Parasite Class.

This is a feature, not a bug

Ohhh duh right, of course. I was thinking like notification sounds or even the signal itself somehow interfering with sleep quality

so you can keep your phone away from your bed to improve sleep quality

Wait how does this work

show that Descartes was wrong, because they exist but they don’t think.

“A therefore B” doesn’t imply “B therefore A”

It’s not like an average person would be unable to use their laptop and some media player, regardless of which OS they use; the fact that I use a weird-ass player doesn’t mean it’s the only option available on a laptop.

An old hand-me-down 1080p TV and my laptop

It’s one of my favorite shitty movies. Figured there’s got to be like dozens of people (DOZENS!) who would get this meme on Lemmy

Oh nice, I’ve never thought to make fried onion garnish in a microwave

I guess those devices make more sense if you don’t have a laptop. I only have a laptop (well, that and a Steam Deck which counts as mobile Linux I guess) so I just plonk it into the HDMI port

I may be an anomalous IT professional, but despite being a coder and generally a ginormous nerd, I’ve never really understood why people buy “smart” devices. This isn’t a criticism; I honestly just don’t understand why they’re popular. The amount of convenience they provide really doesn’t seem like it’s worth it at all, to me

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’d be the last free election in the US if Trump gets elected again
