I also got a refurbished 8a for cheap and stand by that choice.

Oh cool… Something else no one asked for or wants.

My dog has pretty thick hair so sometimes we are out in the rain for several minutes before it soaks through to her skin and then she looks at me like its my fault.

Sounds like your husband might be a prick.

The company I work for just announced that we are switching to Windows 11. I’m considering quitting.

No but I also wouldn’t have bothered going to the closer DQ.

Gimp refers to sexual exploitation.

No, it doesn’t.

Libreoffice only tells geeks exactly what the product is.

The target market is primarily geeks.

no one can pronounce it.

Sounds like your coworkers should expand their horizons. Libre is a common word in (at least) 2 widely spoken languages.

Being quick and catchy is a pretty low bar.

Not when you’re naming a product. You think its hard to get people to use Lemmy, imagine trying to sell them on “Federated Link Aggregater Website.”

It sounds silly in conversation.

As does Google, Instagram, and Tiktok but they at least managed to pick silly sounding names that don’t sound like a child trying to describe a loose bowel movement.

Gimp is a funny acronym that explains exactly what the software does. Libreoffice also tells you exactly what the product is. Lemmy is quick, catchy, easy to remember, and has a story behind it. Apache is… pretty bad.

Ploopy is literally “poopy” with an extra letter.

After reading up it sounds like a decent product but they should definitely consider rebranding.

I’ve got to say “Ploopy” is one of the absolute worst names I’ve ever seen. Before I even saw the picture, I thought “I bet it looks like shit.”

It was incredibly easy to do and a refurbished pixel 8 is way cheaper than a new phone.

Definitely do it on the clock. No one likes unpaid mandatory work fun. If there is driving involved, make sure you pay for mileage or give a gas card to the drivers. Don’t surprise people with an outing or give them too much notice; I find a week is the right amount of time. Lastly, if it’s just for fun, make it optional.

The problem, besides that just being gross, is that hosting csam is a very serious crime in most places. Leaving that unmoderated can very easily end with alphabet agencies from around the world shutting down lemmy instances.

Yeah sure its all fun and games until people start posting csam.

This except I use a laptop running linux mint.

I didn’t cate for either.

Where’s the fun in that?

I’d kill my parents before I was born.

My bugout bag and axe are ready so I guess I’d just stock up on ammo.

Youtube is the only one on this list that I use and I only use it with an ad blocker.
