Man, sometimes I’m just blessed by the internet

Yeah, that “what to absolutely learn” line needs to be established. Basic knowledge of fixing and troubleshooting absolutely should be taught, while scripting and programming is probably not a high priority for many people. Maybe financial/business interested students could learn some scripting, but art and literature students won’t really care.

I’m Gen Z, and I cringe at both my classmates and alpha-cusp cousins, my millennial aunts, my xillenial dad, and my boomer grandparents, one of which taught college classes on how to use computers back in the 80s, so idk what happened there…

In the case of my classmates, I can understand that if you’re too poor to have a home computer with Windows or Mac, then you won’t have many opportunities for computer literacy, cause we used heavily locked-down Chromebooks from 5-12th grade, and while my college library has Windows desktops, I’m not sure if the rental laptops are Windows or Chrome. But grown adults had computer lab, so what happened there?

But still, I’ve seen mind numbing shit like using the caps key instead of shift when typing (ON PURPOSE, by the way), not using any kind of ad block, not knowing where shit is in phone settings, hell, asking for chargers is “iPhone or Android charger” or “round or flat charger” instead of USB C or lightning.

oh wow, Piefed has scheduled posts? I know Masto and Misskey do that. Not a feature I’d use, but neat, I see why people switch from Lemmy.

Man, I tried so hard to understand what the joke was before I realized it was just transphobia/queerphobia

I can’t find the funny, where funny? :(

I’m pretty sure they’re talking about catching pubic lice (genital crabs) either due to sleeping around, or the Myrtle Beach area being kind of shady.

I went there with my family when I was a kid, and yeah… Our hotel was fine but the place was giving old, and I’ll never forget this mom who let her kids play in a nasty ass abandoned jacuzzi pool that was off-colored and had cigarette butts in it…

Forgive me for being born after the 90s y’all, but sometimes it’s nice to have a reboot. Well. I could care less about movie/TV show reboots since so many places show the originals or you could pirate, but when it comes to games, I appreciate being able to enjoy the same games my mom did but with slightly better graphics and on a console we own/PC. And yes, I could pirate the originals, but sometimes it’s nice to play it as it was intended, especially for hand held games.

Yes reboots can be lazy and uninspired, and simply for money purposes, but other times it’s nice to see something come back to life and get a second chance. There’s so much stuff I wouldn’t have known about or enjoyed if it wasn’t for reboots.

Nah, the past was filled with peasants dying of infections and dysentery. The future will just be the Pony Express crew from Mouthwashing. Honestly, I don’t even know what member I’d choose to be since they all went out horrifically.

Watched a video before of kids from Whales doing an exchange with Korean students, and they were miserable. Like you said, they were getting back home late from clubs and cram tutoring at like 10pm, and would then get up for school around 6am or so.

This is just an unfortunately common thing in Asian countries, getting into the best schools is treated like a life-or-death thing for many.

Appleius (+ donut and orange, but the apple was the final thing) from last night… as a pseudo dinner

If I actually would eat today it would’ve been Empanadius, but I’m still in bed…

Well, people like to say “check their hard drives” when referring to pedos, so the word itself isn’t lost yet. But there might be some other Gen Z’s who don’t actually know what that is considering we were raised with Chromebooks…

Okay, but at least cat cares about you and wants to meet your needs. What does an unsolicited dick pic do for anybody?

Dick pic is selfish, kitty is not

I know I can’t judge very much with my post history, but… OP, are you good? You’ve got a lot of horny posting (the asklemmy NSFW posts) and boomer-esque “women ☕” posts going on.

Sorry, I have dummy noob moments 😔

I use KDE Plasma

I’ve never used xfce, I used Gnome previously and currently KDE Plasma, and I liked fcitx for both. However I had a bug with Anki where it wasn’t able to change language inputs with fcitx, so I had to switch to iBus. Both work fine, although I liked that Fcitx showed the conversion preview without having to hit tab, while iBus does.

The squares is probably a font issue, this article might help. You can easily switch input for both apps and set up your own shortcut combo.

G instead of D for me, because while I love Asian food, they also have a lot of spicy-sweet foods, and I hate spicy-sweet. Just do sweet, or just do spicy, but don’t mix them in one. I hate sweet heat, there’s few dishes that can make me like it. I also don’t love a lot of tropical fruits and Asian fruits, I’m a basic bitch. But Tex-Mex all day? I can live with that, plus some Creole and soul food? Set for life. I will miss Asian food though… Curry, ramen, Kung Pao, lumpia…

Okay, not nearly the same, but I swear to god KH changes the fucking axis, target, and menu buttons each game, and my ass was fucking tired of it. So if a game changed inputs every save/startup I’d probably cry.

I laughed in actual horror before I realized it was The Onion. Like I would’ve fully believed it for a sec. Media literacy is important kiddos, read more than a headline!

God any video of a person trying to escape something with the Springtrap audio playing in the background is guaranteed to kill me with laughter 😂

Yep, another comment in this post has the screenshot of the Tumblr thread

I was like, “is this joking about the Tumblr color theory post?” and saw this and went yup.
