One of my favorites is “can the network handle a loop?” Plug one port into another, it’ll be fun.

More seriously, that doesn’t look like a passive dumb switch/hub/splitter so you should be fine. Kind of regret not taking the chance in school to bring down the whole network back when dumb ones were more common.

“no, I prefer my brain to stay asleep thank you. asleep, smooth, and pristinely unwrinkled.”

Yeah, why would you ever hang those upside down unless that’s what you were going for? Or you could just cut or snap off the handles.

Wouldn’t you also need to replace the first letter of most words with R as well?

Or you’re a fan of good music.

Not sure it would be much different, honestly.

God, I was just enjoying some cyberpunk-adjacent media yesterday and laughed at the satire of an in universe news outlet complaining about “anticonsumerist terrorism”.

Are you high right now? It’s a shit post in the shit posting community. I took it as a joke about how “sooper serious” the DARE program took itself while being entirely toothless and not particularly educational.

Blue had better Pokemon sprites (graphics).

So in Japan, it was originally Pokemon Red and Green. The original third version was Blue, with bug fixes and some updated Pokemon sprites.

Japanese Blue was used as the base of the international Red and Blue versions, but for some reason they included the original sprites in international Red version. Maybe to make more differences between international Red and Blue?

Yellow was actually a fourth version, lol.

This is also why the GBA remakes were Fire Red and Leaf Green.

Yes, but. Big but.

The devs of the games included in that email signed off on it before it went out. The version the devs were shown had no “runes” included.

GOG has acknowledged that those runes can display on some devices distinctly as the symbol for the SS, so they did not send this email to subscribers subscribed in the German language. Instead of just using a different fucking symbol, or not using it twice in a row.

As far as I understand it, those are pretty random runes, not specifically Slavic at all.

Taken as a whole, it shows that they had some idea of how this would appear, and they went through with it anyway, for no obvious benefit.

Not a good look.

“Fun” fact: Windows is finally just now, in the year of our lord 2026, trying to release some updates as “live”. As in not requiring reboot.

It’s going better than you’d expect, but still far worse than they have any excuse for.

Shit, it’s supposed to be fresh?

I would browse the front page not logged in to find more algo-pushed trash that YouTube thinks are addictive. I’d also unsubscribe from anything you actually enjoyed and use the options to have YouTube not recommend more of it to you.

I have two friends who first met because one was this girl’s “platonic cuddle buddy” and the other was her fuckbuddy. Neither knew she was effectively getting half the relationship from the other and they both wanted a “full” relationship with her until they both showed up at an event she was at and it came out. When they found out they both “dumped” her and became friends.

Oh boy, he’s already starting talking openly about the inevitable push to thin clients renting compute from all the data centers after the AI bubble pops.

Don’t ever forget: “You will own nothing, and be happy”

Yup. Kind of surprised how people seem to have jumped to the idea this is something toxic.

I’m not talking about anything seriously crossing boundaries, I just want some fodder for domain specific teasing. Maybe worded things a bit extreme.

Pretty presumptuous to assume this is in any way toxic or mean.

I just wanted to tease him about his job, like when other friends ask me about my work week as a systems admin/engineer and then follow it up by making up absurd reasons for people to request admin rights.
