French vampires
Catstrey @CatstreyDave
To kill a French Vampire you need to drive a baguette through its heart. Sounds easy but the process is painstaking.

Why do you think they do? Logically think it through.
Market sharen and incumbent advantage. Ease of adoption (or appearance of). Ubiquity and lack of need to retain. Predatory behaviour by MS. Different priorities for users.
Unless you actually consider the real reasons why Windows is so widespread you'll never make a dent in it.
What happened with Unity in the end? Did they back down?

Posting this to make up for accidentally posting a dog whistle earlier. Oops
What the fuck! I thought it was just a cute post about small talk being mostly about boring patterns like the weather and recent sports results.
Unbeelievable

You can't expect me to believe there is a race of creatures living in well-ordered homes who spend all day making candy while their evil counterpart hides out in menacing fortresses that augur only destruction
Might want to try reposting that link dude, it leads to a domain category on reddit?
What's your radical opinion?

Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it's already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.
Totally agree about the offside rule. It's so boring when attacking play is ruined on a technicality based on a three pixel attacking advantage. Totally misses the point.
Thanks but with two now that is enough! If the community grows we'll come back out for another in the future.
To be fair, you are repeatedly quite inflammatory and borderline trolling, which is not the culture of this community at all, so I can understand why there is such a reaction. So, although like I said, this doesn't technically break any rules, it's clear that not many people like it.
On the Lemmy app I'm using that doesn't display correctly.
And then also just in a browser, it's not the same as an image link.
Thank you again for the suggestion, but this community will remain images only, and you can put a link in the description. That is the only way to ensure everyone gets a consistent experience regardless of how they access Lemmy.
This post has had a number of reports. It technically doesn't break any rules, and it's also on -74 votes, so I'm not going to remove it.
Thank you for the suggestion but I'm afraid it's screenshots only. The content on this community needs to be visible without leaving it. I would encourage users to add a link to the toot in the description however - I'll add this to the rules now.
will they still be like that in ten years?
Looking for new mods for this Community
Hey all, I've not been putting as much time into Lemmy as I thought I would, so I'm requesting applications for new mods! There isn't really anything to do in terms of reactive moderation, there's almost never any reports etc, but a proactive approach to growing the community, encouraging posts, and all that sort of thing would be great.
Let me know below if you are interested!
Hey folks, the report button is not a 'mega downvote'
Just a reminder that reporting posts you don't like (or that you disagree with, or that are disagreeing with you) but that do not break any rules is a waste of my time and yours. Downvote and move on. Repeat offenders will be banned.

Disco Inferno

I was told recently about a school that was shamed into changing its school motto.
The motto was "l hear, I see, I learn" Nothing wrong with that per se. Unfortunately the motto was in Latin, and the Latin for "l hear, I see, I learn" is "audio, video, disco

What the f ck that's the best school motto ever change it back

Your yearly reminder that "l learn through suffering" can be translated into Latin as "Disco Inferno"

Installing a bidet at home was life changing but unfortunately it's transformed pooping on company time from a small proletarian victory into yet another grueling humiliation of inadequate working conditions.
Dedicated button
Brent @SkyCladBrent:
Imagine there being a website so popular that game console manufacturers put a dedicated button on their controllers to take and post screenshots and then you fuck the website up so much that they disable it
