gorkur, to linuxmemes in Your PC will thank you...

All of my computer problems went away after switching to Linux, so I’d say it’s solid advice.

Granted, I do have computer problems, they’re just different 🐧

The difference is that with Linux, it’s possible to become smart enough to fix all the issues. Windows is designed in such a way that there usually isn’t a way to fix its problems to avoid format and reinstalls no matter how much you know.

systemglitch,

Lol, Linux users are funny.

    Does it though when they control both ends. It is encrypted between each end which I guess secures against things like a man in the middle attack from outside parties but their app encrypts it on one end and decrypts it on the other. I have a very hard time believing that they don’t “read” your messages at some point in that process.

    i’ve seen the bullet points from that article riffed in different ways, but i think that’s the most important part:

    • They know you rang a phone sex line at 2:24 am and spoke for 18 minutes. But they don't know what you talked about.
    • They know you called the suicide prevention hotline from the Golden Gate Bridge. But the topic of the call remains a secret.
    • They know you got an email from an HIV testing service, then called your doctor, then visited an HIV support group website in the same hour. But they don't know what was in the email or what you talked about on the phone.
    • They know you received an email from a digital rights activist group with the subject line “Let’s Tell Congress: Stop SESTA/FOSTA” and then called your elected representative immediately after. But the content of those communications remains safe from government intrusion.
    • They know you called a gynecologist, spoke for a half hour, and then called the local abortion clinic’s number later that day.
    Brtrnd,

    I’ve wondered if they don’t know the data. They can perfectly read the convo on your device, assign a category what you’re talking about and keeping that category. They don’t store, read, know the conversation, they only ‘analyze’ it. F.e. if you talk about planes they may assign a category travel and sell your profile to holiday companies?

    I don’t know about this, I’m just thinking that’s how I’d do it if I ran an evil corp.

    In the second panel he’s yellow, magenta, and cyan. No green at all. Which is more accurate because color mixing for emitted light is different than reflected light.

    @mbp@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    To add to this, the green that you see is from the offset of primary colors creating the dark patch underneath. Since the magenta is nudged in the positive y direction and the blue is nudged in the negative y direction (and a slight positive x), we get a cool color mixing effect where the dark hues from his hair are present on his neck but it is without the magenta being mixed in. So all we get is the product of strong quantities blue and yellow which is green! Even more apparent due to the situational contrast.

    tilcica,

    for those who dont know, additive color mixing is used for monitors, TVs cameras and the such that add different colors together to compose new colors (RGB spectrum). subtractive color mixing is used in our eyes, printers, hand written text, etc (CYMK spectrum)

    Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

    HRDS_654, to linuxmemes in Your PC will thank you...

    Not to be that guy, but this is actually the most useless advice ever for someone who genuinely has a computer problem. Like, I like Linux as much as the next person, but asking someone to learn a whole ass OS from scratch on the OFF CHANCE it will fix their issue is not great.

    lseif,

    i agree, but when they keep complaining about ‘file explorer is too slow’, ‘popups/ads are so annoying’, ‘cant open .tar.gz’, you can see that this all comes from the same underlying outdated system. i know all these problems can be solved in windows, but more will always appear

    Does Odo actually qualify for this? He can feel and comprehend and interpret emotions just fine, he is just deadly shy and insecure behind his stoic enforcer facade.

    The doctor doesn’t fit either, just because he is modeled after an egomaniac asshole does not mean he is autistic.

    FMT99,

    Neither does Data. He has no emotions. I feel like the maker of this meme projects a bit.

    kogasa,
    @kogasa@programming.dev avatar

    ASD coded, not literally ASD. The thematic struggle with social convention counts IMO. But Data has no self loathing or whatever. He just wants to understand. We stan Data.

    thank you for the link

    bionicjoey,

    He can feel and comprehend and interpret emotions just fine, he is just deadly shy and insecure behind his stoic enforcer facade.

    This is basically describing autism too. We can feel emotions just fine. But expressing them is hard because we do so in a way that can sometimes be upsetting to others. So we become shy and put up a facade that hides how we feel about things.

    Also, “ASD-coded” is different than ASD. These characters don’t literally have ASD, but the fantastical sci-fi backgrounds the writers set up allow them to write the characters to behave and experience struggles in a way that is similar to someone with ASD. Especially problems fitting in with a group, socialising, and forming meaningful connections with others.

    feedmecontent,

    Autistic people can feel and comprehend emotions like everyone else, no difference. Not sure why those two were on your list. As far as interpreting emotion, we can, we just have to learn how instead of doing it innately, which it seems Odo did for all human behavior.

    Using food as the analogy:

    Food…Code

    Kitchen…Dev Environment (IDE, PC, etc)

    Serving…Deploying

    ok good so far

    When I’m done with code I’m not going to deploy yet I commit and store it on a branch in git.

    When I’m done making food that I’m not going to serve yet, I store it in a fridge or pantry.

    When I need external code, I grab it from GitHub. When I need ingredients, I grab them from the grocery store.

    So I think Food Storage, is the closest analog to git. I have local storage (pantry, fridge) that I can use to store food I have acquired.

    Which would mean the grocery store is the closest analogy, but not a restaurant. Or maybe a grocery store with a restaurant.

    Rhynoplaz, to memes in boardgameme.png

    I mean, isn’t the game there to fill in the awkward silences and hopefully prompt interaction between players?

    RiderExMachina,

    Probably. I’m too autistic to recognize when those prompts happen, so I usually play all my board games in silence.

    Sombyr,
    @Sombyr@lemmy.one avatar

    Meanwhile I’m too autistic to tell when they AREN’T happening, and just keep talking until somebody respectfully tells me to shut up an take my turn.

    As an IT professional with over two decades of experience I can say this meme is wholly inaccurate.

    The first thing you try when you have computer problems is to turn it off and on again.

    Then if it's still broken, install a PDF reader.
