The cleaner used to be called Jif, it’s been called Cif since they started selling it in France, where “Jif” is slang for a condom lol

The French - Would you like me to burn your fucking car?

Another one is levelling.

A lot of people can see a picture frame is about 0.5° out of level and their fucking eye twitches until they fix it

Me included

That’s nuts when you think about it

Polite society - “Never, ever discuss politics or religion. Thinking that you can change someone’s mind on either of these subjects is foolish and arrogant and the conversation will always, without fail, end in an argument”

Americans for some fucking reason - “Hold my high fructose corn syrup”

Your not wrong

Oh, the irony

I love books

My biggest recommendation is to avoid asking for recommendations online, particularly in reading - centric communities.

People love to pretend their favourite books are classical just through sheer pretentiousness

The most genuine people you’ll find in life are the ones that are perfectly happy to admit they fucking love a trashy thriller

Four seconds of reading Vs a 16 minute video

I’d rather shite in my own hands and clap than click a YouTube thumbnail like that

the cat

I feel old

I always find it strange that nobody ever mentions World of Goo

I hate games like that but I couldn’t put it down!

You hit the nail on the head when you said “expats or exiles”

They’re immigrants, and it’s only Brits and Yanks that refuse to admit it

I’m an immigrant. Learn the fucking language yous cunts. Respect the country’s mindset. Pay your fucking taxes.

It gets quite good reviews. From family I expect

True, it’s as difficult as plugging in a flash drive and clicking three things

Your average yank can’t attempt to tie their shoes without accidentally committing genocide lol stay away from installing operating systems

Mine said I couldn’t upgrade because of the no TPM thing. Turns out it’s just off by default on a lot of mobos.

Secondly, there’s a program called Rufus that can create a bootable flash drive with Windows 11 but removes stuff like the TPM requirements, the need for Microsoft account sign in, all the bad stuff etc

I’d been avoiding it for a year until I learned about Rufus but now that I’ve installed it, you know what? Without all the bloat, it’s a fucking smooth OS. Really excellent multitasking windows and fast too

Lemmy shits on it because “muh Linux” but if you install it right, it’s fucking excellent for the vast, vast majority of people

You’re absolutely the exception, not the rule

Take your tiny-penis truck and leave, there’s a good fella

That, and also the mayor of Paris is on a massive anti-SUV bender at the moment, hiking up parking charges to discourage people from driving them

The judge has probably been told to send a message.

You don’t. Fuckin. Need. An SUV. You. Cunt

I think the outrage is due to the fact it was a cyclist. You can try driving round Paris and it’ll take years off your life.

Cycling is a whole different story. Drivers respect cyclists and give them a wide berth; they won’t overtake unless they can leave at least a metre. It’s just the done thing

Damn right this cunt should have the book thrown at him

I’m still using windows and I’ve nothing to complain about; I know how to get it to work perfectly for me.

Go to the Linux community and 70% of the questions are “how do I get this to work?”

You definitely have a lot to complain about, and yous do, frequently. Most adults don’t have time to fanny about trying to get a program to work with their OS, so they’re happy with Mac or Windows

If Linux was everyday-usable they’d have waaaaaay more than 4% market share by now, it’s been over two decades

Yeah I loved “It’s Like That”

I reckon we’ll get another year out of it, and I also think within a year, there will be plenty of workarounds to make W11 usable for moderately tech savvy people like us

The loudest voices shouting about how bad W11 is are always Linux users, especially on Lemmy
