If it reads as gibberish, you’re too old. If it makes perfect sense, you’re too young. Somewhere in between those ages is the funny zone, where you can sorta understand what it’s meant to be doing.

I would call that a converter

Personally, I think the dumbest person would be the one that took the time to be snarky about a comment someone wrote about a screenshot of something dumb.

The possibilities for naming their distro are endless…

Agreed. They make sleek, flashy products for a reason- shiny = better. It’s not so much a case of making products that die easily, as it is making incremental upgrades that encourage big spenders to get the latest version.

I’m pretty system-agnostic, each cult has its flaws, but one thing Apple does not do is make crappy hardware. My last MacBook was still going strong after 6 years, my partner’s Air is pushing eight. My iPod Video has been replaced by my phone, but last I turned it on, it was working fine, must be over ten years old.

I’ve used the magic mouse in passing, and to be honest after the first couple fumbled attempts of doing a right click, my brain just transitioned to clicking as if it were a macbook touchpad. And it works great. It’s not a mouse, it’s not a touchpad, it’s in between.

It’s pretty niche. I’d be interested in it as a device for messaging between folks who are out of mobile range - think farmers, hikers, mountain climbers, forestry workers, fire service, etc.

I feel like the level of snark in your reply is… High. It doesn’t make for a pleasant interaction, and it doesn’t help make lemmy a nice place to be.

So, if the image you want to put into your email is not hosted somewhere, what’s the best way to go about this, ensuring compatibility?

Is it possible to put images in an email without them showing up like this?

As someone who knows that they know very little about git, this thread makes me think I’m not alone.

Eurovision has very little to do with being in Europe. Even Australia is in Eurovision, and they are definitely not in Europe.

It’s like, gotta be just one line of code, right?

You’re correct, of course… But the people you’re referring to can be taught to read.

It’s a very good lesson- to the point where I wouldn’t be surprised if the teacher is deliberately putting an arbitrary restriction on the assignment.

If you want to have a career, the people that pay you are going to make you do things that you consider to be ridiculous. That’s work, that’s life. You’ve got three options- Just smile and nod and do it their way, get huffy and tell them that you don’t like their yapping and you’ll do their project your own way, or politely suggest there may be an alternative way, and ask if they are willing to be flexible with some requirements.

I think about this in my workplace. I’m not on the IT side of things, but I do have more of an interest than most. And wow, it seems a mess.

I think the problem lies with all these nifty solutions being implemented, and then suddenly it’s someone’s job to tie them all together, which they get halfway through doing before they are called off to do some other task… There doesn’t seem to be an overall architecture, or a coherent model of how information should flow around the business. I’m guessing you come across this a lot? How does that get solved?

Depending on where the breaker is relative to the UPS, of course.

What’s it called when you logically expect something to work, but are totally surprised that it actually does?
