I have once made that joke to impress female colleague in a flirty way: "His disk is floppy, my disk is hard" — in our late thirties we were still laughing at it: the joke got so much cringe — but it didn't make it less funny.
Be careful with that 😅

@theorytoe
Okay, you have survived the point, the line, and now — the plane!
What do you expect us to do next, to launch you into space? That is kinda expensive, you know 😏

@FortyTwo
That was a joke to make the point 😄
I was never a proponent of having optical drives — I have like… 3 external ones, including Firewire one, but I'm "retro" enough to never realise they are now gone — when I want to record a CD or DVD, I just take a spare one out of those high "cans" — I don't even know what I'd do once I run out. I know that it's no longer true, but I have the expectation that these are still being sold — I just never run out, I still have plenty 😂

@FortyTwo
Last year?
Why was it for the last time, I still have a 100 pack of them and both drives even in this computer are working fine? 🤔

@icedquinn
Well, I can't stand all the technology that progressed too much, can I have my old technology back — the one that has progressed just far enough? 🤔

@nus
😛
It's not ad-ridden, you can still opt-out, but it's concerning — it was a harsh (and somewhat vague) reference to this: gladtech.social/@cuchaz/112775
Latest Firefox ESR hasn't been around long enough, people don't realise what using it means — that was my original point.

@newt
You're lucky they sell quality soil for home plants around your parts, because what they sell nowadays here is beyond fucked — one of my plants died after being moved to a different pot, I just couldn't save it — it got covered by some mold and shit. But the worst part — it seems to have spread to other plants! And I'm no expert when it comes to this stuff either — the only thing I've learned: this can get complicated, not crows and fucking pigeons only, plants have their own diseases 😢

@Tony
This is a trial version of what we have in Russia — they call explosions (including major ones) "pops" here!
I'm kidding you not! For the lack of better source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavovna
The article is mostly about the war in Ukraine, but it started much earlier — the article mentions that.
These euphemism are bad and transform the society in real ugly ways, it was an important stepping stone to calling the war "special military operation".

@newt
Man, of course not, I was just trying to compliment you! You're not a botanist, you'd never be one — don't even attempt to take credit for that! Look at him — the crows have eaten his violets and he didn't even blow their brains out! LAUGH AT HIM!!! And now he's supposed to grow a rose — a rose for Christ's sake, are you kidding me?!!!
Didn't like that — well, of course you didn't, why were you supposed to? That is why I didn't say that. Grow roses, be cool! 😁

@newt
You're a gentleman and a botanist! 🧐

@MNNHNewsEnglish
Joe Biden can raise the dead? 😱
Guys, we have one powerful necromancer here — the only choice you have is either you vote for him or become human sacrifice. Resistance is futile!

@Hyperhidrosis
That's not a disease, that's an evolutionary advantage.
Sorry, it was there first 🤷

@lain @lucy
I was never a Wayland hater — but yeah, X11 could do that too. Even in XFree86 times it was possible to have to video cards and two sets of input devices connected to the same machine — and you could pretend they are two separate ones. For *that* time — it just worked (nothing did 😅).

@pyrate @dommymommy
Schizophrenic? I thought she was just on acid… Yes, for five consecutive years, what about it? 😏

@Hyolobrika
> You don't have exclusive ownership rights over your hobby
How dare you!
I'm the most fierce Google hater on Fedi, no one hates Google (or has the right to do so 😏) more than I do 😤

@cy @qurlyjoe
Or ice cold!
Yep, it's "cold as ice" or "cold as a stone" these words are kinda related, these expressions don't have etymology that isn't obvious — but isn't "cheap as dirt" also like that? 🤔

@santiago
It's certainly hallucinating — this looks more like Predator than a person 😄
