I still don’t like the choice of color timing in the Blu Ray. What baffles me are the people who can’t notice it. I guess I’m more sensitive to color changes than other people.

I do agree that this forum may be a bit original-version-crazy, but it’s like getting the original version of a painting. It’s important to have.

Why?

Because Apple sucks.

Quite a few developers and IT people would disagree with your assessment 😃 Most of the best software you see these days — not just the best native apps, but web sites — is built using Apple hardware. There are reasons why Microsoft has been racing to make its core products, like .NET and SQL Server, cross-platform, while adding bash and other Unix-y things to their own stack. If you’d suggested MS would be porting SQL Server to run on Linux even 5 years ago, you would’ve been laughed out of the room.

At my company, you only get Windows hardware if you request it, and then all your team members hate you because getting everything up and running on your machine is a chore.

Don’t get me wrong. Windows 10 is a good OS and I use it on my gaming rig, because as great as Macs are, they’re still pointless for real gaming. But I still think the best Windows laptop is a MacBook Pro running Bootcamp 😉

My new favorite editor is VS Code, btw.

I might be wrong but I believe Tyr’s comment was more anti-yhwx than anti-Apple.

Pretty much.

I couldn’t let it go unchallenged, even if it meant defending yhwx.

😭

Has anyone noticed how dumb emojis look?

Yeah. How does ; ( translate into constipation, anyway?

How does it look on your end?

I love Tears for Fears.

Word.

Fuck you.

I don’t even care anymore, TV’s Wank. Whenever I say something you don’t agree with, it’s always just rhetoric and anecdotes, and whenever I say something you do agree with I’m just a MiniFrink. I’m sick of it.

My God. Yet another MiniFrink. The existence of these insults me. I’ve reported this post, and enjoy your ban for your reckless sock behavior, you MiniFrank.

Ditto all of this. My opinion of Windows is slightly less than yours, since I think it’s mediocre at best, but that’s a discussion for somewhere else. . . .

This is not a point in your favor.

I didn’t even know we were getting points for this stuff. When I had 100 points redacted for misspelling you’re it was news to me that I was getting points to begin with.

And why is it note worthy to say that post isn’t a point in my favor? Is there something wrong with it?

It has a purpose in saying that if someone unsavory agrees with you, maybe you should reconsider what you’re thinking.

I don’t think my choice of spelling in that instance is fine. I was suggesting that you wouldn’t have a problem with it, given your arguments on the subject of language. That means I don’t agree with you.

I don’t have a problem with it.

You have a problem with truth.

Why.

  1. I agree with the first because it totally gets the point across. Everybody understood what he was saying.
  2. What he said doesn’t represent any sort of progress in language.
  3. I’m a nitpicky person.

I don’t actually care.

Feel free to post it in the Missed the Joke thread then.

I agree that colored emojis are hideous, but I was mainly thinking about the ones this site has, which I’m completely fine with (that is, unless it just shows up as a box).

While Microsoft was lagging behind to get emoji support in the first place, I think they’re getting ahead of the curve with support now.

And this is one of my main problems with Windows: Almost nothing is standardized. Every app has their own implementation of things, which may or may not work with emoji. Emoji are almost (Looking at you, Chrome) universally supported in every app on the Mac, which I like.

Functionally they serve very similar purposes.

The main purpose being destroying thousands of years of written language development.

Emoticons are helpful and can give pointers on the tone of the conversation. See;

You’re such a piece of shit.

You’re such a piece of shit 😛

The latter is friendly banter, the former is an insult, and that’s indicated by the tongue-outy face.

Emojis are a blight upon humanity and probably worse than Stalin. I also hate how some sites automatically turn Emoticons into Emojis.

Why.

You’re not allowed to question it. It’s a fact. Emojis are the worst thing since the creation of the universe.

Why.

I do think there’s such a thing has emoji over use.

I’ve never seen a tasteful use of Emoji, it’s always a bunch of spammed crying laughing faces and 100s and fucking “ok” hand signs.

I also hate how Emojis look compared to Emoticons. When put in a line of text, they stand out really strangely with all the colors and shit.

Funny, because most of the emoji use I’ve seen have been I good taste. The only one that seems bad to me is Carrie Fisher’s Twitter account, where I can’t understand anything that she says.

I mostly don’t find color to be a problem for me, though that’s a more reasonable concern.
