Is saying someone doesn't exist a criticism of them? It doesn't sound very nice, but like, how can you criticise someone if you think they don't exist?

This is like Marge Simpson's version of Itchy and Scratchy
Yeh it's pretty clearly not sincere in voice. Seems like by saying 'not satire' they're trying to avoid people thinking they mean the content of what the article describes isn't sincerely true, but given how it's written, it's hard to conclude the author cheering on from the sidelines. Te nonchalance and unaffected language when discussing a travesty seems pretty clearly to be a device used for effect which frankly is pretty close to what gets called satire.
Not even I know how that happened.
I was thinking it was like the Flintstones at first but then it was even funnier when we are him put fuel in it revealing it to be even more pointless.
I ran a hackintosh for about 7 years and they didn't care, I used an Apple account. Don't think I had an iCloud though, maybe it makes a difference that I set up that account originally some years prior to building the hackintosh on a real mac.
I think with memes, there's something of an implicit promise of at least some degree of comedy. I get the sentiment here about proprietary vs open source operating systems but there doesn't really seem to be even an attempt at being funny besides maybe the way the characters are drawn which, given that as memes, they are recycled art used to establish the format, they don't really elicit much of a laugh because there's not even an expression of humour through the original artwork.
This isn't really a commentary or a parallel or satire on that distinction between open source and proprietary OS installation, it's more accurately describable as a complaint. Simply placing this complaint underneath the yes chad and crying wojak's doesn't really feel like a step up from a text post that says "I don't like Windows or Mac OS because you have to pay for them and they make you sign up for and agree to things". No one asked for my opinion I know, but I think this is a critique worth making: if you sum up your attempted meme in a bland, emotionally neutral sentence and then compare that bare sentence to its proposed meme counterpart and you can barely see the difference then maybe it's not a meme that has to exist. The format is flexible, but you can still use traditional written words to express complex thoughts, not everything has to be meme-ified and if it's not even funny when it is, why should it be?
I guess if, as this person says, the intended use is made clear then presumably so long as the original logs from which the report was generated are retained then there shouldn't really be an issue. Make your nice, digestible reports that normalise over a workday and give a more grand overview of progress, and if they smell a bit too rosy or you just sometimes need a more granular accounting of time then clients/bosses can request the original raw data from the contractor/employee. Maybe this software itself should include some ability to retain a log of the processing that was done so that the relationship between its generated reports and the source data can be more clearly audited if some kind of a trust issue arises.
The hope I guess would be that you make it clear that this is a more executive summary style of report that you've added as a courtesy because it's more useful in context and that's hopefully enough for whoever you're reporting to but if they want more transparency or detail it's all there for them too.
When tomatoes, olives, capsicum and zucchini are 'fruit' then the definition isn't serving it's purpose for anyone discussing cooking or eating or procuring those things. It's a different meaning of the word that's useful in particularly narrow settings but useless outside of those settings. The only reason people like to repeat the claims of 'technically a fruit' for various vegetables, outside of the context of maybe agriculture or scientific research or horticulture is because it's amusingly counterintuitive and contrarian which is exactly why it should be disregarded.
Pineapple remains the only sweet fruit I've ventured on a pizza but when you asked this my first guess would have been apple, especially because it pairs so well with pork so I'm surprised that made it to the bad idea category. Did anyone expand on why? I would have thought a pizza with almost any kind of pork but especially thick cut ham would be enhanced by a very sparing quantitiy of thin apple slices. I'd bet even some non-traditional cuts of pork might end up working well, like some thin strips of pork belly.
It's a tough job
