The innovation of DRM and Intels SGX extention is the reason no current-gen PC can play 4K Blurays in 4K.

I honestly don't understand how someone can take this or OP's post as a serious statement. I feel like both are extremely obvious jokes.

It's like a line I like to say: "I'm the smartest, prettiest, most humble person in the world." No one has ever taken that seriously, and for good reason. It's not meant to be.

I wish my existence could just be me existing.

Instead, I have to advocate for my existence in front of people who look down on me and have to rely on the understanding and kindness of strangers and the zeitgeist to make me be safe.

I'm barely allowed to marry who I love, and many people still reject "marriage" as a concept for people like me. I was once chased by someone with a knife for holding a loved one's hand.

People fought tooth and nail for us to be recognized. Many are still forced to do so. Sure, take the fucking rainbow. Take it for granted, just like you do with everything else.

I am unable to play any 4K Blu-ray I bought. Thanks, DRM and IntelSGX for that. And according to German law, it would be a criminal offense to circumvent the protections on the plastic disc I own.

I'm not saying I'd ever pirate anything. I'm just saying that it's objectively better, cheaper, easier and arguably less criminal than my other options.

I always eaten them as is. Am I missing something?

I never even considered a condiment for grapefruit.

This image is so old I had it on my mp3 player, when I was a kid. (Don't ask why, we'll both just cringe) He just has very thick legs, so he can do all the cool parkouring, I imagined him doing, while sitting in the backseat of my parents car, listening to Nightwish and Subway To Sally.

…man, this post is bringing back some memories.

I've been using Linux for more than a decade now as my daily driver.

Count me as 'basic' and 'just starting', because I quite like the colorful, clicky and nicely animated version, where I don't have to remember anything and that works just as well.

And now out of my way, while I happily point, click and scroll to adjust my displays brightness, which is entirely possible through the terminal, but I'm not ridiculous or insecure enough for that.

I don't get why you get so much downvotes, because it's not as obvious as people make it out to be and there are plenty of adapters. So it's a good question.

But yes. The 3.5mm jack had the thing companies say they are striving for: simplicity.

DACs are nice and everything but the phone can just decide to not connect properly. The DAC can decide it had enough of your phone. In either case you'd need to reconnect them. And that means unlocking your phone, because a secure phone will block streaming to 'unknown' USB-C devices, unless it's unlocked during the negotiation phase. And if your connectors have become wonky for whatever reason: Well, no music for you.

And then there's the issue where you have to have them at hand when you need them. In your car, on your person, while at work.

3.5mm is great because it actually "just works". One of the few things that can claim such thing.

I'm not sure how it is now, but when I was still dual booting I had the same problem until I got a separate drive for Linux instead of just using different partitions of the same drive.

Linux users (sometimes):

sees an extremely user-friendly interface - so good that everyone and their grandma can use it perfectly right away without any explanation

"Ugh, why doesn't this look more complicated?"

Edit: This was in response to someone commenting "Why does it look like toddler UI?". The comment seems to be deleted now.

If my 3D printer has a problem, it's not working properly.

When my 2D printer throws a fit, it's because it's doing its job of being a vicious piece of shit perfectly.

Important difference.

Friend who isn't a degenerate: What are you laughing at?

Me: panic

Father Grigori is overdoing it with the traps lately.

Fair point, will do… at some point in the future.

Edit #1: You people are expecting way too much reasonability from someone using emojis to login.

Edit #2: Urgh! FINE. Have your sensible title that actually means something and betters everyones experience. angrily sips water >:(

I don't think anyone takes this seriously. It's just fun to come up with the worst password policies.

Just imagine the error: "Sorry, your password could not be set. If you decide to include more than one animal, make sure they get along or include a zookeeper as well."

Fucking brilliant.

The Interrogator: "You think you're so funny… WHAT. IS. THE. PASSWORD!!!"

A guy, tied to a chair, bloodied and crying: "Amogus, it's a drawing of the Amogus guy."

The interrogator prepares another round of fists
