I’m not okay with it either but I am not even remotely surprised that they harvest that amount of data. It’s why I deleted my account in like 2015 or 2016. The only way they make money is advertising and they can only do that by being more and more targeted. If you’re not paying for the product then you are the product.

I wish I could. It doesn’t support my keyboard properly. Then again I’ve got some macro stuff going on too.

God I wish

Not to mention their Engine garbage crashes constantly and has barely any real illumination support. The shit about booting with certain applications works like 25% of the time. No idea why I trusted people and bought this crap. Only thing I like about it is the volume scroll wheel and the media button. Outside of that, meh. Actually the wrist rest is good but not exactly unique to them.

The big changes are mostly just that I work new hours which are weird for lemmy posting. I’ve been trying to find a way to get back into it more easily. I do miss posting so much :(

Can’t say it’s not weird as shit though to think that that I’m even slightly “famous”

And I do appreciate it <3 genuinely

Disdain

Sorry, I was unclear there. I had my wording all fucked up.

There are two parts to the ‘nobody’ thing. The first is the word nobody and then the second is the silence after it. It’s to denote that no one anywhere had ever thought or heard a particular thing. Then another group comes in as part of the meme and asks that particular question. To turn the meme into a sentence it would be:

“Not a single living soul in creation had ever expressed this idea but suddenly, one day, a group of Star Trek fans asked something fucked up for the very first time.”

Whether it’s fucked up or interesting or whatever is denoted by the general context or feeling that the question/idea gives. In this case it would be fucked up.

The nobody stands for never thinking nor asking the particular thing that follows

How am I not surprised?

It goes one way or the other for me but nothing in between. Either it’s better than the others or absolute garbage that falls apart almost immediately. It’s a bit of a mindfuck

It happens. Just check the front page and make the post. If it’s a repost then people will say but not everyone is on all the time. Unless it’s a real recent repost just let it fly. Otherwise delete.

I cannot tell you how many times recently I’ve read headlines and gone “Wait, the fu- Oh yeah”.

Well, let me be the very first (and hopefully not the last) person to say…

o7 CMDR.

It’s also on console if you have a Playstation or Xbox. Granted the console version is much more limited since they split the shared galaxy. Fewer options available for some stuff and less global activity both in playerbase and galaxy news. The game does have a story that is continuously going as well as galactic powers you can pledge yourself to and work for to push their influence. Aliens invading. All kinds of shit. But the story is stagnant on console now and isn’t updating. It’s just a status quo. Aliens aren’t invading as an example. They are out there and you can engage them but on PC they’re actively invading systems and needing a coordinated pushback.

Sorry. I’m stoned. My knee hurted.

I’ve got nearing a thousand hours in it. Was mostly on PS4 until I recently moved to PC. Night and day fuckin difference after the galaxy split. I’ve just been watching The Crown (don’t judge me) and galaxy hopping out deep in… whatever fuckin region is the ‘north east’ rim.

Elite Dangerous! It’s been one of the main reasons, other than work and cat, that I’ve not been on Lemmy as much. Out in deep deep deep deep space doing some exploration runs. It’s like Star Citizen lite but ‘finished’. Massive galaxy that will never be able to be explored. Every star in the milky way is represented, or at least the general number is. Can also be accurately described as space trucker simulator if you’re doing trade runs, rescue runs or passenger runs

They aren’t. The first message that was received says ‘connecting you to your customer’. The driver is the one getting the message.

Anal prep. Usually a sign of douching.

Man… If I wasn’t already a recovering alcoholic this would shove me into sobriety so hard
