This is nothing new, just different words being coded.

I got banned from /r/Gamingcirclejerk for “being a man” and for calling out a mod for their misandry. Or rather, despite asking a few times, the whole mod team, assuming it’s more than one person.

Unless SteamOS is counted separately from every other distro, I’d say it (via steamdeck) accounts for most of the growth.

As if the cops weren’t either among these assholes or at least on their side.

I guess Spotify could (and arguably should) add a feature to scan your device for the file, instead of you having to go add it manually. Is that what you meant? Because you comment comes across as you wanting the song to somehow be available on all of your devices despite you having it on only one…

If a raise of one dollar is that big of a deal, you probably couldn’t afford spotify to begin with.

This is a jab at Muskrat and his rebranding of the birdshite, I mean site, to X…

Most other nations don’t pretend to be non-violent while people are getting lynched my mobs…

Ah, but you see, dem black folks, them ain’t a part of tha community, dey’re notting but second-class.

You know how it goes, fashion goes in cycles and so does everything else. Plus, new idiots are always born and somehow they manage to survive to the age where they do some of the most blatantly stupid shit…

people even shortened to Insta

Everyone shortens it to insta, Facebook gets shortened to fb or face, youtube to yt or tube. Very few websites don’t get shortened, and those are usually the ones with short names, sometimes even monosyllabic names. Twitch, you can’t shorten that (at least no in any reasonable way), tiktok, and so on.

The rest of your comment stands, I just took umbrage with your implication that Brazil is somehow different in shortening names of apps and platforms. They might do it more often than others, but they’re not unique or special just for doing it.

Or that use old machines because they work and their entire workflow is based on it. Like, I remember someone (might have been LGR… it was some retro computing youtuber at least) mention that they knew a print shop or something that was still using like win98 or 2000 for their entire production (as in, handling the printing, setting the size etc.) and maybe even the sales terminal…

And I’ve read horror stories of places like machining shops running their cnc setup off of a win98 machine because the cnc router or whatever it’s called just won’t work over anything but parallel port, or that the software needed for that specific router doesn’t run on newer machines.

Because back in the olden days you could just hold down the physical power button to force a phone to shut down, same as you can do on computers still. This bypasses the frozen software and forces the phone to shut down so you can reboot it.

Porn may have been one factor, but the bad recording times on beta are what really killed it. Here is a series of four videos detailing the differences between beta and VHS. And there was plenty of porn available on the beta.
