Definitely pretty pointy elbows

Well at least it clears up this circumstance I was starting to think I was going crazy.

Can you helpncelar something up for me? Ever since Firefox introduced the copy link without site tracking feature I have been thoroughly confused what it actually does because every time I’ve ever used it the URL has been exactly the same whether I used the feature or just traditional “copy link”. Here on this Lemmy thread, using my Lemmy client Lemmy Connect, the link in the parent comment to yours and also the link in your comment appear identical to me. What’s up with that?

I ended up at the practice after I first started cooking for myself and didn’t think to do this and wondered why the carrots were so unpleasant. The peel is just too… carrotty. It’s just super intense carrot taste to the point of unpleasantness, also even with a good wash it kind of tastes like dirt. I only really like it when it’s those little carrots sometimes referred to as ‘dutch carrots’ and they’re roasted so you get some blackened char on that skin.

Do you reckon it really would? Hopefully you might be materially better off for it if the system is working well, but would it really do anything about the drudgery or frustration, or unmet ambitions?

I’ll only need 3 minutes.

Is saying someone doesn’t exist a criticism of them? It doesn’t sound very nice, but like, how can you criticise someone if you think they don’t exist?

Yeh it’s pretty clearly not sincere in voice. Seems like by saying ‘not satire’ they’re trying to avoid people thinking they mean the content of what the article describes isn’t sincerely true, but given how it’s written, it’s hard to conclude the author cheering on from the sidelines. Te nonchalance and unaffected language when discussing a travesty seems pretty clearly to be a device used for effect which frankly is pretty close to what gets called satire.

Not even I know how that happened.

I was thinking it was like the Flintstones at first but then it was even funnier when we are him put fuel in it revealing it to be even more pointless.

I ran a hackintosh for about 7 years and they didn’t care, I used an Apple account. Don’t think I had an iCloud though, maybe it makes a difference that I set up that account originally some years prior to building the hackintosh on a real mac.

I think with memes, there’s something of an implicit promise of at least some degree of comedy. I get the sentiment here about proprietary vs open source operating systems but there doesn’t really seem to be even an attempt at being funny besides maybe the way the characters are drawn which, given that as memes, they are recycled art used to establish the format, they don’t really elicit much of a laugh because there’s not even an expression of humour through the original artwork.

This isn’t really a commentary or a parallel or satire on that distinction between open source and proprietary OS installation, it’s more accurately describable as a complaint. Simply placing this complaint underneath the yes chad and crying wojak’s doesn’t really feel like a step up from a text post that says “I don’t like Windows or Mac OS because you have to pay for them and they make you sign up for and agree to things”. No one asked for my opinion I know, but I think this is a critique worth making: if you sum up your attempted meme in a bland, emotionally neutral sentence and then compare that bare sentence to its proposed meme counterpart and you can barely see the difference then maybe it’s not a meme that has to exist. The format is flexible, but you can still use traditional written words to express complex thoughts, not everything has to be meme-ified and if it’s not even funny when it is, why should it be?
