  • What you do is take a screenshot of the desktop, rotate it 180° in MSPaint, set it as the background, hide and move the taskbar, hide desktop icons, and set the screen rotation to landscape flipped in the display settings. You’ll get a desktop that appears normal but can’t be interacted with, and a cursor that moves upside down and backwards. Rotate your victim’s mouse the wrong way around if they’re gullible and they’ll think the mouse messed everything up,







  • I’ve already run into multiple people on Lemmy who do what I call the Reddit Special:

    1. See an opinion you don’t like
    2. Intentionally misinterpret the point to mean something else and attack that
    3. Support your opinion by arguing backwards from your conclusion
    4. Ignore all counterarguments when possible, return to step 2 when not
    5. Try to “win” with pithy mic-drop bon mots at the end of your comment
    6. Mask upset feelings by trotting out overly slangy 2am Chili style dismissals

    For example a conversation I have actually had more than once on Reddit:

    Person 1 - “I hate the designated hitter in baseball, it was more fun before, without it”
    Person 2 - “Why are you in love with the old days so much? Do you want segregation back too?”
    Person 1 - “Are you crazy? I just like it when pitchers bat”
    Person 2 - “Lol. Clearly you have issues with being called out on your bigotry”
    Person 1 - “You’re not listening, I said I like baseball better when pitchers bat”
    Persot 2 - “lmaoooo I don’t listen to racists”


  • I agree, it is in line with their image, their image being “phony progressive platitudes on top of bog-standard corpro shit”. It’s pretty rich for B&J to be sanctimonious about stolen land when they also do a shitload of business in Russia, which is currently attempting to steal even more land and is murdering every Ukrainian civilan they possibly can in the process. They sued their own parent company for allowing a licensee to sell B&J ice cream in the West Bank—not a word now. The fact that Ben has donated over a million dollars to a political action group that sought to stop the U.S. from arming Ukraine is technically a coincidence considering he no longer works there, but their public stance is just as bad. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re also super into Greenpeace and Tienanmen Square Truthing. Disingenous garbage like what this corporation peddles is why the American left has such a reputation problem.





  • You need to sharpen your reading comprehension skills, I don’t have any problem with Apple and their products are fine. The 1st and 2nd get iPhones were less functional than the devices they purported to supplant by a wide margin, and the 3GS was the first actually good device they made. That’s all right there in the text, you just have to look with your eyeballs and put the words through the critical thinking part of your brain instead of the emotional reaction part. Even in 2007 it was laughable that you couldn’t connect to WiFi with a purported smart device. Its feature base sucked ass till the 3GS, and now they’re fine; the only reason I don’t use an iPhone is because I prefer auditable FOSS, hence I use an Android device with an AOSP-based ROM and no Gplay Services. If it wasn’t for that, the iPhone would be a fine alternative.
