Woah, just reading iSerial Reader brought back a flood of Mac piracy memories from the depths of my brain.

I love reading Spanish as a native French speaker, it’s like trying to read French on drugs. I kinda understand but I really don’t.

I hope a trans kid punches you in the throat.

This is a win, because there’s definitely no L.

You should see the windows xp source code

The rapidly dwindling sanity of windows programmers as expressed through code comments

I’d imagine half the users here have blue hair, piercings, white guilt, and pride flag bumper stickers

I am definitely the type of person you’re trying to describe here and I’m honestly just insulted you think I’d own a car. I cycle everywhere, thank you.

I do have a bunch of Pride stickers on my bike though, ya got me there!

I don’t typically use a VPN so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I’m pretty sure what you’re looking for is split tunneling. Set it so that all traffic goes through your VPN except the IP of your NAS.

It includes over 200 games, apparently. I’d assume that’s most of it.

Being on a video call while operating a motor vehicle is dangerous and should be illegal in any sane jurisdiction under distracted driving laws.

Seriously, half the fucking country lives in the Québec City - Windsor corridor and we don’t even have a high speed train there?? It’s a political issue, not a geographical one.

Nah, the point of a piercing is the end you stick in first.

Some people are definitely 100% gay, and some and definitely 100% straight, but I agree in that I think the majority of people could potentially be attracted to people of all genders.

I’m finally playing Celeste and honestly it’s living up to the hype. The art style is amazing, great soundtrack, solid platforming mechanics, and just the perfect balance of challenging and rewarding. The storyline is really endearing too, I have a huge crush on Theo.

I’ve also started Cyberpunk 2077. It’s the first big AAA game I’ve played in a while, and I’m honestly kinda overwhelmed by the scope of the game. 7 hours in and I still felt like I was going through a tutorial. GTA-style open worlds aren’t usually my fav kind of games but I really dig the cyberpunk setting so far.

The mullet definitely would make me think you’re queer!

Not particularly, and while I admit this can seem hypocritical, the verb “to google” has just become a generic trademark.

When someone says band-aid, or kleenex, or jello, I think of bandages, tissues, or gelatin desserts, not of a specific brand of these products. Same goes with “googled”, it just means “searched the web” now rather than specifically using Google.

Yeah I’ve noticed this user basically inserts a “kagis” into like 2/3 of their comments, it always slightly irks me because it makes me feel like I’m getting advertised at. I’ve never felt the need to proclaim which search engine(s) I’ve used to research any particular comment on Lemmy, and I find it odd that the one person who does so regularly is doing it for a paid service.

Apart from that, their comments are usually pretty good, so I’m not accusing them of shilling or anything, but I find it super peculiar.

I used to pirate movies my older neighbour wanted to see and burn them on blank DVDs because she felt way more comfortable having discs than streaming. That could be an option if you have a tech-averse person in your life you care about.

She had a bunch of empty cases too, and would make customer covers for each movie with a sharpie and a piece of paper.

I won’t say that isn’t a valid interpretation, but I’ve always thought the joke was simply “paranoid conspiracist thinks everyone is out to get him except the guy fucking his wife”.

I think it also highlights Dale’s sweet side; despite his tendency towards conspiracy, he refuses to see the obvious when Nancy is cheating on him because he is 100% in love and trusting of her. He literally can’t imagine her betraying his trust like that. He will believe that Joseph is half-alien before doubting Nancy of wrongdoing.

Fun fact: there exists black women other than Oprah Winfrey! Experts say there are at the very least 12 non-Oprah black women.

I’ve recently bought a Steam Deck and have been getting back into gaming after a long hiatus.

I used to play competitive online games (mostly Counter-Strike) and got kinda burnt out on them. It made me not want to game for a while, so I’m diving into slower-paced, single-player games.

Viewfinder and Superliminal are both perspective-based puzzle games that I’ve been really enjoying. Tickles my brain in kind of the same way the Portal games did on my first playthroughs.

Speaking of Portal, I’ve also started Portal: Revolution which is a fan-made mod whose story takes place between the two official games. For what it is, it’s honestly quite excellent, the puzzles are challenging and fun. Not quite as well-polished as Portal 2, but so far it’s giving the first game a run for its money.

I’ve also been emulating a ton of Mario Kart 8, trying to git gud, my friend group often breaks it out at get-togethers and I want to surprise them with my sudden increase in skill!

EDIT: I forgot, I’ve also been playing Stray which is honestly such a chill game, you play as a stray cat in this kinda post-apocalyptic world, which you slowly uncover more info about as you hop around. 10/10 so far, might become a catgirl.
