Margot Robbie

This is why Sydney Sweeney isn’t on Lemmy.

You are probably thinking of another talented blonde Australian actress.

That’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

I think this is a fake quote that somebody made up for an Internet comedy bit, since it seems unlikely for Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney to have such uncharacteristically strong opinion on software version control, of all things.

Because she of all people would know that there isn’t anything wrong with using git merge, and it ultimately comes down to personal preference to what you are used to.

Thank you.

Also, that’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

You know, it seems very unlikely that a Linux distribution would have their official support account on Tumblr of all places.

I don’t know about you, but I’m beginning to think that these are actually gimmick accounts that are impersonating official accounts for an Internet comedy bit.

“GNU is Not Unix Image Manipulation Program Tool Kit” is still a better name for GTK than “GIMP ToolKit”.

It’s a name that will definitely raise some eyebrows in the less technically inclined circles. (and maybe a few “Pulp Fiction” references about “bring out the gimp”)

Speak for yourself, I first got on Lemmy to promote a movie, and the next thing I know, I was using Arch (BTW) and moderating an Android community.

I’m still not quite sure how that happened. This place.

In general, drunk me is the last person I would ever trust with literally anything.

It’s like waking up in the morning and reading your own drunk text messages.

THANKS, NOW I DON’T HAVE TO HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT KEY WHEN I TYPE ANYMORE!

The only times I’ve seen toxicity like this is ironically whenever there is a big wave of reddit user influx, things usually settle down for a while as they adapt to the cultures here (or get banned), it’s not as much of an Eternal September as much as it is a Irregularly Scheduled September.

Most of the active comms here are smaller but better quality than their subreddit equivalent. You even get good discussions here on memes sometimes. (Politics and News here still could be better, though.)

For someone who’s been very unhappy with the state of social media for quite a while, Lemmy is a breath of fresh air, even though there are definitely growing pains.

I’ll go into it briefly since I’m a bit bored.

The role of woman in society is, as with all things, an inherent contradiction (Pretty sure everyone has seen or at least read about that monologue from the movie by now), and society progress through the development and resolution of these inherent contradictions.

You can view the role of the femme fatale, then as an response to seek resolution to said contradiction: what if these extraordinary women are now free to be as smart and pretty and as dangerous as they want?

I don’t think it’s an obsession, as long as this contradiction exists, this idea is always worth exploring.

It’s almost as if an award winning professional actor would be really good at playing roles or something.

As an actress, that’s nonsense, if hacking scenes in movies are fake, then how do you explain this documentary I watched where this hacker man hacked a kung fu fighting cop back in time to kill Hitler (and David Hasselhoff was there for some reason, too)?

Yay

So, anyone here want to name a git branch after me? 😊

Linus was so nice back then…

Obvious jabs at Meta, of course.
