Clbull,

I’d prefer it if Lemmy didn’t go mainstream. Reddit went down the toilet once it did.

Clbull,

What I said, MM/DD/YYYY is less flawed than DD/MM/YYYY for chronological sorting.

Asian YYYYMMDD way is the best way for computing…, but the American way at least preserves the month and day structure.

Ironically, MM/DD/YYYY works better for chronological sorting than DD/MM/YYYY, so long as you don’t go between years.

Didn’t think I’d be saying this but the Americans have an edge over us Brits.

Clbull,

Nokia 3510i if I recall.

I think I also had a cheap Motorola flip phone too.

Clbull,

To that I say ‘what American food?’

Because there’s a massive difference in quality between a Big Mac and a Philly Cheesesteak

Clbull,

I’m British. Don’t put the Dutch in the same group as us. Our local ‘cuisine’ truly is a crime to food.

I’m surprised it hasn’t seen wider workplace adoption.

A call centre I used to work in once scrapped all our Microsoft Office licences and installed OpenOffice on everyone’s workstations to cut costs. It was bad for the MI staff because they relied on Excel functionality that OO Calc simply didn’t have, but the vast majority of staff could get by on OpenOffice.

My only real criticisms of how they handled this was not giving people any notice, and making us use a shitty webmail app that only booted in Internet Explorer and would sign you out after a minute of inactivity to access our work emails. They could have easily installed and configured Mozilla Thunderbird to give us some quality of life that Outlook once afforded us.

Also this happened a few years after Oracle got their hands on OO, so not using LibreOffice was also questionable.

But still. Think about the shitloads of money you’d save by using Linux in the office.

With SteamOS and ChromeOS now having millions of users, Linux attacks will become more commonplace.

IIRC ChromeOS is either built on or can be configured to run applications like a Linux distro?

Clbull,

We’re too late to prevent climate change. Our efforts should instead be going towards mitigating the damage that consumerism is doing to our environment.

At this point we need drastic geoengineering and carbon capture solutions.

Short answer is ‘No.’ Long answer is a lot more complicated. Had limited success on a few apps, but I had hardly any matches over the past year and a half since I became single. Modern day dating apps are definitely a scam. They’re all enshittified Tinder clones that charge you upwards of £40 a month just to see likes.

Meanwhile, every woman is like “6ft, 7 figures and 8 inches or GTFO”

Out of my four past relationships, two were LDRs that fell apart the moment we actually closed the gap and met in person, one I ended because my then-partner had no personality and conversation with her was really dry, and the most recent one used me for my money.

I’m 32, below average in terms of my looks, and that’s regardless of how I present myself: I have tried all kinds of hairstyles and outfits and nothing seems to work.

Shit’s depressing.

Clbull,

Sounds like a server full of master baiters.

What's your favorite compilation album?

I’ve been really enjoying the Red Hot Organization’s “No Alternative” and “Dark was the Night” recently, both because they raised a lot of money for AIDS research and because they do a great job of capturing the 90s alternative sound and 00s indie sound respectively, and it’s got me thinking how much I love...

Clbull,

International Superhits was a really good Green Day album. Only thing I’d really change though is add 86 (from Nimrod) to it.
