Lenovo.

Years ago they ran a competition along with their “GoodWeird” campaign. I got high enough on the leaderboard of their little web game to win a (substantial) prize yet they refused to ever respond to me.

I don’t care if ThinkPads are good, fuck them. Especially fuck their marketing team.

Pyroglyph, to asklemmy in What is your unpopular flim opinion

Interstellar is one of my favourite movies, yet I can definitely say it’s not perfect. Hell, it’s got a few massive plot holes and the ending leaves a lot to be desired. Saying that, I still enjoyed it. I love the visuals, the BTS stuff is interesting, but most of all it made me feel. That’s what I value in media. Other people may value a coherent plot, historical accuracy, or a myriad of other things. We all like/dislike things for different reasons, and that’s okay.

I also agree that TARS was very cool.

that would break iMessage support on older iOS devices that no longer are supported

Yes, that’s what “no longer supported” means.

Pyroglyph, to asklemmy in What do you want for Christmas?
@Pyroglyph@lemmy.world avatar

The implication was that it was to spend more time with loved ones after it’s already too late.

I always thought the socks at Christmas thing was a meme, but here we both are in need of nicer socks.

Pyroglyph, to asklemmy in What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often?
@Pyroglyph@lemmy.world avatar

Thai yellow curry. It BANGS. I’ll always forget when our family next orders Thai, and one particular person will always get yellow curry, and I always think “I remember thinking that was okay” and so I try a bit of theirs and it always tastes 10x better than I remembered it. Amazing every time.

Earlier today I read about someone who had their withdrawal processed before their deposit, placing their account into the red for a miniscule amount of times but still incurring the $35 overdraft fee.

Pyroglyph, to asklemmy in Customs Officers: Have you ever laughed out loud when someone gave you their passport and they had an… unusual name?
@Pyroglyph@lemmy.world avatar

I heard about a guy who got a custom license plate of “NULL” and he ended up getting assigned a ton of parking/speeding tickets for every case where the ANPR system failed to read the plates.

Pyroglyph, to asklemmy in What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?
@Pyroglyph@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve heard many people rave about the Moondrop Chu’s. Even Crinacle likes them! Also I’ve ordered myself a pair for ~£15 as an early Christmas present :)

Most of these make sense but the Applebee’s one isn’t really on your shitlist. From what you’ve said you just seem indifferent to it, much like you’d be indifferent to any other store you have no interest in.

Pyroglyph, to piracy in I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."
@Pyroglyph@lemmy.world avatar

Valve is currently a private company, which is likely why they’ve been able to avoid enshittification for so long. All we can do is hope that whoever eventually takes over when Gabe steps down also has his ideals at heart.

Pyroglyph, to piracy in There's certainly some overlap
@Pyroglyph@lemmy.world avatar

Ah I see. I don’t think there’s a way to do that yet.

If you’re so inclined, perhaps you could contribute to the discussion (or development) around tags on Lemmy here, since a feature like that would solve your issue.
