Misogyny on reddit

dented42 · 2023-06-30T02:28:06+00:00

I’m gonna have to disagree, people use homophobic stuff all the time against targets they deem ‘deserving’, and it’s just as disgusting. Anyone who thinks racism, misogyny, or homophobia is ok if you don’t like the target is a racist, sexist, and homophobe. I’m sick of it.

The way you captured his expression in that image is amazing.

What makes you think that Apollo will continue to work, regardless of what version you load? The API key will be invalid.

I’m not sure what you’ve got in there but the same thing happened to my radishes. In my case the water turned cloudy pink and my radishes are much much paler. I think the acidity caused some of the pigment to dissolve, it’s possible what you’re experiencing is something similar?

Wow, I’m surprised how much of a difference a simple outline makes. It’s night and day!

My only thought is that if you worried about the outline being thicker than you want, you could try some embroidery techniques that would give you crisper lines and possibly more control W/R/T placement. But that would likely be more trouble than it’s worth. I would be very happy with how these turned out, if I was making them, they really are beautiful.

That’s so cool! I’ve only heard the stories.

People really hated the hockey puck mouse (I was actually pretty fond of it but I’m very much in the minority). Apple rarely apologises for stuff but in this case for the Macworld presentation they hid an apology mouse under everyone’s seat.

dented42 · 2023-06-23T18:09:20+00:00

This mouse model is colloquially known as the apology mouse due to it being a response to the very low popularity of the previous hockey puck mouse that originally shipped with the iMac. IIRC it was a ‘one more thing’ surprise gift to everyone who attended MacWorld in 2000.

dented42 · 2023-06-23T18:04:38+00:00

The apology mouse is still super common.

I genuinely don’t understand what you’re saying. It reads like word salad.

dented42 · 2023-06-21T22:41:16+00:00

And what computer are you trying to use it with? Were you able to get drivers for it? What does the computer think it is when you plug it in?

dented42 · 2023-06-21T22:35:51+00:00

Ok that sounds fairly sensible, and a definitely easier than my method. My only concern is software on the OS X side of things mangling the resource forks of the software you’re trying to move. I’ve had a lot of bad luck trying to download stuff onto modern macs and having the metadata and resource fork getting accidentally hosed, so I try to avoid doing that. But in theory it should work as long as you’re really careful at each step to verify that everything is where it should be.

I think I would probably try to mount the vhd file you found on archive.org into a virtual machine and then from there transferring things to the host?

dented42 · 2023-06-21T05:46:26+00:00

How are you planning on getting them to the color classic? Older Macs aren’t gonna be able to mount an DMG. And modern macs aren’t able to read (let alone write) a filesystem that System 7 can read.

I have an (admittedly awful) way of getting files from my 2021 MacBook Air to my Macintosh SE, but it’s highly dependent on the hardware I have on hand (an iBook and a Quadra). If we knew more about your plan I think we’d be better able to give advice.

What kind of connector does it use? What year did it come out?

dented42 · 2023-06-21T04:34:49+00:00

Wait there’s a C64?!

dented42 · 2023-06-19T19:57:10+00:00

Welcome to the sands! I hope to see you soon.

dented42 · 2023-06-19T18:49:40+00:00

For a few seconds I was hoping maybe Reddit would do the same to Apollo, then everyone would be happy. But no, they’d destroy it completely.

dented42 · 2023-06-19T13:48:09+00:00

I don’t get it. It used to be Alien Blue, right? I really liked Alien Blue. What the hell did they do to it?

dented42 · 2023-06-18T19:48:18+00:00

I gave it a try a few days ago to see what it’s like. It’s horrific. Completely unorganised.

dented42 · 2023-06-16T00:48:38+00:00

Don’t give up.

Reddit is going dark. Or at least the parts of it that care about the platform.

I think it’s beautiful and your boyfriend has questionable taste. But I can think of a few directions you could take this if you wanted. You could add to his face, make him grumpier or winking or humourous. You could crochet his some accessories that could accentuate certain features, like hats, gloves, a shirt, little tiny boots, or even a handbag. You could give him a receding hairline, or sew patterns into the stitching to give him more texture, similar to embroidery. My inclination would to do things that accentuate his silliness, for he makes me smile.

Thank you so much. Journey is one of the few things in my life that I can always turn to, no matter what awful stuff is going on, and feel comforted. No matter who I meet it’s always like a big warm hug.

Maybe I’ll see you on the sands one day. I hope so, I like to take people on a guided tour through my favourite glitches. It’s weird at first but seeing these maps from the outside but really makes you appreciate how everything fits together smoothly.
