If I’ve learned anything from plastic signs on the side of the road, it’s “Trump low prices. Kamala high prices.”

I thought people on Lemmy supported free software.

You can’t just make a simple list on any site that uses markdown. It removes line breaks. Why? So some nerd can post an 80 character formatted email from a listserve and have it look normal in markdown. It’s archaic and stupid.

At any rate, this “feature” makes your list look like a giant paragraph:

Castlevania Castlevania II Simon’s Quest Castlevania III Dracula’s Curse Super Castlevania IV Castlevania The Adventure Castlevania II Belmont’s Revenge Castlevania Bloodlines Kid Dracula

You have to end each line with two spaces to force markdown to preserve the line breaks. Or you have to start each line with an asterisk and a space to make a bulleted list.

I’m going to fix it for you so other people can read it more easily, and also fix some of your typos:

Castlevania Castlevania
Ill Simon
Quest Castlevania
Ill Dracula
Curse Super
Castlevania is Castlevania
The Adventure
Castlevania II: Belmont Revenge’s Castlevania Bloodlines Kid
Dracula

That’s not comparable. The situations are quite different. Let me explain:

In your example: Windows. It’s basically the “default” operating system. Billions of users. Some of those billions are kinda dumb and will type in a command or delete a folder because the Internet said so. Ok, so you ruined the day of some dummy with a practical joke. Not particularly funny, but whatever, it’s just some dummy.

In the Linux example, here’s how it goes. There’s an alternative OS people can try out. People who are fed up with Microsoft. They install Linux for the first time, and what’s their first experience? Some practical joke ruins their day. These are the people we want! The good ones. The ones brave enough to try out Linux, and their first experience is a dumb meme that ruins their day, or week, and totally turns them off from the Linux community.

This is not the same as pranking some dumb Windows users.

That’s not googling, that’s ducking. Besides everyone knows you should get that kind of answer from ChatGPT.

it made no sense to me

That’s all CAD software. You can’t just jump in and intuitively learn it by just doing it. It’s like trying to learn a programming language. You need a solid tutorial to explain the basics, at a minimum. Even with something simple like TinkerCAD.

FreeCAD was probably the worst choice. Give TinkerCAD a try. I know the FOSS community will hate me for saying this, but I like Autodesk Fusion for a full featured CAD package. It has a very steep learning curve, like all CAD software, and you need to watch some videos first. You will make a ton of mistakes and do even simple things wrong at first, but once you get going, it’s great to use.

Shit like this is why desktop Linux will never be mainstream.

This community should just be called “long empty hallways”.

I watched a video years ago where poor street cooks in SE Asia were “mining” cooking oil out of the sewer. They would refine it and use it to cook food.

Edit: It was China. I think I found the exact video, but it turns out there are a lot of similar videos!

Fun fact from the video: it’s estimated that 10% of cooking oil in China is “gutter oil”.

That gets squirted directly onto canvas and sold to fans.

Replace beatbox with masturbate and all the sounds with “fap”. And then creatively censor parts of the middle two frames.

Oh, the irony! They posted low res to save people bandwidth, but you click the high res one anyway

I agree with you, but you gotta admit the “psych” parallel is pretty compelling.

That’s most of Lemmy. What are you going on about?

Lazy cat photo and nothing else.

Lazy meme and nothing else.

Lazy link to an article about e-scooter controversy and nothing else.

– You, probably

Lemmy is a link and image sharing site!

Also, this is a federated Mastodon post, so the link is in the post body.

Jewel of Open?

Man’s laughter

Ah, I didn’t realize that. Thanks for taking the time to explain.
