The year Titanic came out, I finally decided to see what the fuss was about in it’s 18th week playing (a new record!) in our local theater. I took my seat, and there were a couple of teenage girls a few seats over from mine. They started sobbing during the opening credits. I’m fairly certain they’d seen the movie already. Probably more than once.
A small alteration would be to swap one of the female heads up top with a male, and go “Man, Chad guy never cries about anything. Is he even human?” You can even swap out Chad with chadette, depending on context.
In the same vein, comments like “I’m a big bearded man but I cried…”. As if they need to reaffirm their masculinity when they speak about their feelings in case we suddenly think they turned into a unicorn or something.
Also, crying is not the only way to be sad. Some people regardless of gender just don’t cry easily when sad, doesn’t mean they’re not sad. Some people regardless of gender may not want to cry in front of other people for a movie. Or maybe they’ve already seen the movie alone and sobbed all day the first time but know what to expect the second time. It’s frankly none of your business to judge how other people react to sad things and you certainly do not have enough evidence just looking at them to declare they “have no feelings,” unless their ears are pointy and were the first to develop Warp Drive.
The overlap of people that will not remove the initial bloat (even if it’s a button displayed prominently on first start) and people inclined to use Linux in the first place is not that great.
Firefox is not a GTK application by the way. They use their own XUL/XPCOM framework and are in the long-running process of porting everything to HTML/JS/CSS.
There must be GTK somewhere, gtk3 is a dependency on Arch and the GTK_USE_PORTAL env var strongly suggests GTK has something to do with the file chooser. If they’re going to have to reimplement the latter, I hope it’s going to be less horrible than the GTK one but knowing Mozilla I’m not that faithful…
It does use the GTK file-open dialog by default (although distributions can swap that out).
It also takes inspiration from the GTK theme for drawing buttons and whatnot, so they fit into the OS. KDE generates a GTK theme, though, so that’s rarely a problem.
I don’t know why, but the thought of some 38 year old American farmer who doesn’t know computers going “you linux people” is very sweet sounding to me.
Idk, the whole “Megacorp is forced to do reasonable thing, but will still only do so in regions where the law applies” should further encourage people to move away from all their crap.
Telemetry is significantly less invasive than on windows or Mac, and is completely optional during installation, after which you will never be asked to turn it on again
Fun story. When the titanic came out, the girl I was crushing on asked me if I wanted to go see it with her and her other friends.
Yeah. So we’re in line to get in and I made a sarcastic comment, something about, “but we know how it ends… the ship sinks.”
Apparently. She didn’t know that. Oops.
In any case the gaggle of old women in the row behind us were more entertaining. It may have been like their fifth time watching it. Specifically so they could see DiCaprio’s naked ass. The rest of the time they spent heckling it MST3K- style.
That would be like, being in line for a film about Helen Keller and mentioning she is blind and deaf. Like. Yeah. She is. You should know that, regardless of the film.
Truth be told, I started watching Once Upon a Time In Hollywood having zero context of what the hell the story is meant to actually be about until half way when someone told me, and it vastly improved the movie.
Like, the woman just looked like a useless character you know. And would keep looking so.
Again an association is made between butt plugs and Arch users. I wonder if moving forward showing a collection of butt plugs will become the next “I use Arch, btw”.
Are we still forgetting that Win12 will have subscription? Or at least it might. Then their terms of agreement state clearly that they will collect your personal data and share them if they see the need for it. I mean there’s more to it than being able to uninstall IE.
