I also enjoy needing to download 1GB to update a 14MB program

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

We'll update the 200 mb program.

not pictured: the other 500mb of libraries and dependencies that tag along.

Pedant warning: your last phrase should contain "than", not "then".

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Indeed. I literally never use the word "than". Fuck grammar, "than" looks weird.

I never say "than", I say "then", therefore it just seems right to spell it how I always say it.

Edit: I wonder what the most downvoted comment is on Lemmy World, am I making history?

Edit: I'm concerned for everyone who upvoted this

Our education system is in the toilet and I didn't pay attention 😂

I mean, I suppose I respect the commitment to just being unequivocally wrong.

[–] clmbmb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And ignorant...

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I'm not really ignorant if I know I am using bad grammar. I know it's wrong I just do it anyways. That makes me stupid, not ignorant

[–] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Obstinate sure but not ignorant.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (3 children)

If it was an actual formal writing I would use proper grammar but other then (oh man what do I do here) that I never really use than.

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hilarious when people want to resort to “I WASN’T WRITING FORMALLY” in these situations. Just take the L and acknowledge it was a flub. Much less cringe that way.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Oh I absolutely did take the L

[–] HopFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

In dead case, I fish you the bessed.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Lol it's not grammar, you've used an entirely different word that just sounds kinda similar. You're essentially saying the actual words used don't matter in these two sentences because they sound similar:

I like to wear t-shirts

Eye lick two where tea-shits

Are you using a white theme terminal? I hope it's just an edited screenshot.

[–] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Light theme used to be the only theme. People now need dark themes because they're eyes are too week from all the worke.

And before that, black text printed on white continuous form paper.

[–] d_k_bo@feddit.de 1 points 3 months ago

Paper doesn't fry my eyeballs.

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 0 points 3 months ago

Now I'm wondering if historically people started writing on blackboards first or in paper. Etching into wood/stone doesn't count since it lacks contrast.
