“Windows is a good OS”
“Capitalism is a good system”
The goal is contraversial not idiotic lol
Man, that’s just playing Russian Roulette with a ban hammer.
🤣🤣🤣
Yes, this man right here, kill him with hammers.
We’re getting hammered? Nice.
Absolutely!
are we missing some sickles mate?
There’s always room for more punishment regardless of tool.
Now hold on, are you talking about Windows 7 and 10, or 11? These are very different things!
XP
Vista
Honestly, I’ve tried dual booting Linux lately. I’m on mint. Even after weeks of setting things up, I’m constantly running into issues. Particularly with drivers and such. Also, the gaming has come a long way, but the games I play don’t run as well on my current linux setup.
I haven’t given up on it yet. Even though all the bs I put up with in windows, it works better for me at the moment.
How do I post a photo in comments? New here due to Reddit ban.
You’re asking the wrong person. Due either to my client, or my instance, I get, like, a 20% success rate on attaching images. Most of the time I get an error.
On my client, there’s a little picture icon. When I click that, it lets me select a picture and, if the wind is blowing in the right direction and the stars align, the picture is embedded. Otherwise, I upload to catbox.moe and manually embed the URL. The markdown syntax for an embedded image is:
On desktop, you can just paste it.
You can do markdown, so
If you’re using voyager you can just copy and paste and it will handle it, usually, assuming your instance has image uploads enabled.
I’m on Mlem, seems easier to navigate.
I know mlem just got a new update, so I can’t comment on that BUT I can say that always come back to voyager.
It’s as close to the Apollo Reddit client as there is (as far as I’m aware)
I’ve been playing around with the different options, Mlem isn’t bad. Voyager’s interface was a little all over the place for me.
I use Jerboa client on Android. It feels very much like the Reddit is Fun app.
There are rich text buttons at the bottom of the new post field. One is a photo icon, click that and it takes you to your photo/file browser to select a pic.
Here’s a pic I took of Earth’s bff, la Luna.
i usually just have the picture in my clipboard and then ctrl+v. it should be uploaded and the markdown link added for you
I love your username, my WiFi name is prettyflyforawifi
Appreciate it. I’m on mobile, but I think I figure it out.
This is my primary use of reddit.
Late night shitposting, i instantly forget, and seeing lots of interesting comments in the morning.
Oh I’m used to it, I know I have some controversial opinions.
Hot take incoming: New 3DS XL is the best handheld Nintendo has ever made. Not only can it play every generation of Nintendo games prior, it’s the latest clamshell they made, and it even has super cool exclusives for it like the awesome GTA 3 and GTA VC (admittedly the VC one is a bit rough) ports.
Who gives a shit about Nintendo?
Fuck those predatory bastards.I don’t disagree, but I love their hardware and games. It’s why I feel so conflicted, and I hate them, but I love the stuff they have made even though they basically hate their fans.
Ooooooo
Average day for me.
If I ever see hundreds I’ll be worried.
“Ah shit, here we go again.”
I usually know if something I say will get a bunch of replies, plus I normally use Lemmy most actively in the morning and at night so it happens regularly.
I know exactly how you feel😂
And then all of them are “Nicole”.
Bro I got that too!!!
The Polish Partier.
The Fediverse Chick.
i have a different pic in my inbox. do i suppose to collect them all? i want a rare Nicole now
I have them both, so… Yes?
I hear there was four. One of them is ultra rare.
My friend told me stories of that one but I’m pretty sure she hasn’t seen it herself.
Both? I have three. Are there more?
Oh shit there are three!
I have none :(
What’s the att/def on your Nicole? I’ll trade you mine - just pulled a disappearing Nicole. No idea what the att is, but given that it disappeared from my deck, I must imagine the def is wicked high
Oh she’s using a new picture now?
I’ll probably get it in my inbox sooner or later
Aww, I don’t feel special anymore.
I got mine today after a year on Lemmy. I was starting to feel left out.
I guess I’m not special enough, Nicole doesn’t want to talk to me.
I just got mine today, like some tribal initiation
Still haven’t gotten one. Guess the bots don’t like me.
You might have received one but we usually delete them pretty quickly. We’re either doing an ok job at fighting spam, or I’m keeping her to myself.
Damn power hungry admins always keeping the sweet sweet bot ladies for themselves.
update private_message set deleted = true from person where person.id = private_message.creator_id and person.actor_id in ('https://lemmy.cafe/u/nicole');🚮
EDIT: lmao cope harder, spammer. Makes it easier to find your alts.
I got a message from nicole with a pic. I thought it was a scammer or something. Just a one off thing. Is that not the case? Is Nicole a lemmy thing?
Nope, your first instinct is right, it’s a spammer. But it’s one of the few specific spammers that almost everyone has run into on lemmy, so it’s just a joke. Like saying you met a Nigerian prince who offered you a huge sum of money.
I have yet to be messaged by this person. Dunno what anybody is talking about. In fact, I’ve never actually been messaged by anybody on lemmy.
My first Nicole message was today. You’ll join the club eventually.
Gods please don’t let this be a trend…
Is it normal for people to regret what they said on here? Because I tend not to change my mind from downvotes and dumb responses. I do block people though
My only regrets are having to read stupid responses that completely missed the point of what I said because they want to argue with what they think I said.
Occasionally I learn something new from responses, which changes my perspective.
What a stupid comment, if you actually took the time to read and understood your replies then maybe you’d actually learn something from them, rather than just disregarding everyone who responds to you.
/s
I agree - A lot of people seem so prepared for someone to disagree with them that they seem to misfire on people they agree with. I try to avoid this by starting my comments with “I agree” 😊 … though even then some people still get confused 🫠
What are you talking about? You’re way off base, and completely unreasonable. It’s so typical of you people that I have a generalized baseless belief of. What about this other person that has nothing to do with this? Do you agree with them, too? I bet you also hate soldiers defending our country, and probably kittens too.
the best is when the response is about the first or last sentence of what I wrote and their response is addressed in the rest of it.
Downvotes sometimes make me want to clarify what I wrote on the assumption that it got misinterpreted.
Has that ever worked for you?
I do it a lot and can’t think of a single time it worked.
Occasionally. Other times it makes people angrier
Hell yeah
I’ve seen a number of comments with a visible edit that have an even split between down and up votes. I can only assume the edit worked. Not like votes mean anything on Lemmy. It’s kinda nice not having the overall “karma” visible at all times.
Looking through some of my controversial comments, it seems like it worked maybe 1/3 - 1/2 of the time?
My thought was more “which of the things I wrote triggered such a reaction?” I’m often surprised.
I mean well, and I want to have hope for the future, but I’m depressed and have untreated ADHD and a desperate need for therapy, and I do worry that I’m letting all that influence how I talk to strangers online.
I’m probably too harsh sometimes, or not harsh enough, or dumb, or stupid, etc, more often than I’d like.
So yeah, I generally regret or worry over everything I say to everyone at some point or another. I suck xD But I’m too lonely to switch off and not talk to anyone entirely, so here we are.
I don’t want to deal with arguing especially since half the responses clearly only read the first sentence of my comment. I don’t have the energy for it. So I’m on an instance with downvotes disabled and rarely check my inbox.
If people like my contribution they can upvote, if they don’t like it they can downvote or argue back, but I don’t have the energy to give to that, so I probably won’t see it.
I’ve admitted I was wrong a few times, but never from downvotes or dumb responses. You gotta cite good sources to get a reversal out of me.
My own experience with this was posting a shower thoughts thread while quite inebriated, forgetting I’d done it then waking up with a fairly full inbox so nothing controversial or argumentative.
My experience is that I reply to a lot of things, and post very few, and in no case do I have even a vague notion about how many comments what I write will generate. I can guess the vector magnitude of up/down votes, but never the amount of interaction, where people take time to reply.
I I do actually second thought what I said. As I can be as wrong as any. And if I’m wrong I’m ought to change my mind.
Absolutely, it is only human to make mistakes. Of course there are time where someone gives a stupid reply but there are also times where that is not the case. If it were the assumption would be that I am right about everything, which is asinine
My first thought is always “Must be Nicole the Fediverse chick again” 😂
you guys got those too?! 🥲
Find hot Nicoles in your local Fediverse!
I just got her message this morning! 😂
She never talks to me anymore after that one night…
Man what am I doing wrong? Still nothing from her. Oh well. She’s probably too good for me anyways :,(
I just assume I said something factually wrong and now dozens of helpful people are lining up to correct me.
You forgot a comma.
Uhm, acshually… ☝️
Ah, I see you’ve developed a humiliation fetish as well
Often followed by, “I said that?”
Then you read your original comment and, no, you didn’t say that; someone’s just trying to gaslight you or they’re straw manning.
Or they keep explaining what you already said because they don’t understand nuance or context.
Or your take is just fucking bad and your ego won’t let you admit it, one of the two.
Speak for yourself.
I did. I’m always right, we’re talking about you and your bad takes (the ones I don’t agree with)
I know what I said, y’all’s angst feeds me.
This would all be easier if you all just agreed with me, the always correct person.
I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.
I might not always be right, but I’m never wrong
If I’m ever wrong. I delete that comment and pretend it didn’t happen. Or if someone actually makes a good counter argument I just go “meh, don’t feel like replying” and leave them unread. I do the worst crime. I’ll be 10 replies in and I won’t even downvote their last comment to let them know I read it. I’m sure it’s infuriating.
I got the last comment! I won!
Not so fast, BUDDY
Me is, how stoned was I.
