Oh no!

Well, anyway…

Brain at 7AM: “okay, now it’s time to feel more sleepy, relaxed and comfortable than you’ve ever felt in your life”

Zero point two nine cents? That’s cheap!

I’m sure lots of people here do and will like it - just not me! :)

You should keep posting it, obviously.

It’s a comedy strip, and humour is extremely subjective. What works for one person won’t work for someone else.

I see it as intentionally being a “bad taste” comic by design, and as someone who never enjoyed Happy Tree Friends or other franchises which use violence, sex or toilet humour as cornerstones, it’s already on an uphill battle as far as my tastes are concerned.

Of course, dark humour and “bad taste” have been important parts of human comedy since forever, and I don’t mind them when it serves a purpose. But Cyanide and Happiness seems to exist purely on bad taste, as if bad taste is entertaining in it’s own right.

To me it feels completely insubstantial, and so for me it’s a pass.

I like c/comicstrips but I wish there was a way to exclude certain artists whose sense of humour is incompatible with mine.

I never want to see this artist nor cyanide and happiness ever again, if I can help it.

There’s no strict rule, either is acceptable.

“Write down the age of everyone here”

“Write down the ages of everyone here”

Equivalent, and both equally fine.

When we are talking about a group of two or more people either singular or plural work, and singular doesn’t imply they have to be the same either.

That page won’t open for me because it’s http only, won’t upgrade to https, and my browser won’t allow it.

But I know the story you mean and it’s brilliant lol.

Here’s another report on the same: Welsh translation gaffe

Bizzarre mistakes in signage, just like in real life! Realism++

I’m definitely a Honey Nut Scooter

Yeah, exactly.

Cable management is for three reasons: airflow, maintainability, and aesthetics. None of those are needed here, so just put the case on and call it good.

Computers of this era weren’t meant to be looked at!

I’m not sure how you can make the points you make, and still call it a “generally brilliant solution”

The entire point of this system - like anything a giant company like Hertz does - is not to be fair to the customer. The point is to screw the customer over to make money.

Not allowing human employees to challenge the incorrect AI decision is very intentional, because it defers your complaint to a later time when you have to phone customer support.

This means you no longer have the persuasion power of being there in person at the time of the assessment, with the car still there too, and means you have to muster the time and effort to call customer services - which they are hoping you won’t bother doing. Even if you do call, CS hold all the cards at that point and can easily swerve you over the phone.

It’s all part of the business strategy.

I haven’t even tried it yet, but just from the video you can tell it’s going to be insanely good. I’m so impressed.

It’s the first bit of software I’ve seen in a long time where I took one look and immediately thought “Fuck me, I need that!”

I use Unraid for my NAS server and just on the off-chance I checked the Unraid community ‘app store’ and someone’s already created a Docker definition for it, published just today! The hype is real

I’ll be giving this a shot

Yeah. When the cloud has more control over your own files than you do, that’s not a feature, it’s a problem.

I switched my Dad to Linux recently, and set his account up without any superuser access. Updates have to wait until I visit once a week, but it restricts his ability to get himself stuck in any update-related tangles.

Linux has problems, but I’m so glad I don’t have to support my Dad on Windows anymore, because that was far less predictable for me. Like the time it decided to upload all his files to onedrive (despite him having no knolwledge of this, or what it was doing or whether he’d consented or not) and made the Internet unusably slow for 8 hours by totally saturating his meagre connection.

He didn’t even know about onedrive, just phoned me like “The Internet isn’t working, what’s wrong?” and of course onedrive is the last thing I’d have suspected for causing that symptom, which made it so annoying to diagnose.

Much nicer now his OS doesn’t do sneaky things behind his back, or mine.
