“I don’t have an actual response to your points so I will insert a silly meme to try to make it seem like I know what I’m talking about”

*Microslop

Sorry but near $1000 and near $600 are not even remotely comparable.

I got an HP EliteBook 840 G3 in 2017 for $565 with 24 GB of RAM and 512 GB storage. That was NEVER possible with any Apple laptop. Until now.

Or actually, it still isn’t now! The RAM and storage on this are absolutely abysmal for a 2026 laptop. PCs have already vastly eclipsed this bullshit.

As an Apple devotee that pays your annual tithe to your exclusive, elitist blue bubble cult, you’re welcome to crow about their smooth interface and nicer terminal and better privacy, but you will never, ever, ever beat PCs on price. Ever.

Apple is a monopoly. Monopolistic exploitation that maximizes profit by keeping prices high and sales low is literally introductory level macroeconomics. They have never made their products good value for money, and they never will.

I feel like I should know this meme, but don’t. I have 3 main questions:

1. Why does the multiplication of the 2 signals result in an extra fluctuation in the product?
2. Why would the low pass filter produce a flat line? Is it because it’s letting such low frequencies pass that none of the frequencies in the product signal are not included?
3. What does this have to do with locking in?

Got a guide? I have pixel 8a.

Edit: Nvm I Ecosia’d it. Found lots of stuff.

Most depressing read ever, but thank you for posting. Truly Americans are capable of such brutality on those they have othered.

Wait is it just me or is there no 8? And what’s 9? Is that a joystick? And is 10 the clock? Is it actually connected to the computer?

The butter and sugar ones don’t look bad at all tbh

Is this the same guard that a high school friend got to laugh by saying “his mother always picked him up from school” and it went viral?

Looks like the same guy lol

Okay that’s a bit too scary 😭

Ugh yeah the way Sirius treated Kreacher annoyed me so much. Apparently it was completely fine for Harry to have him as a slave as long as he gave him some locket and made poor brainwashed Kreacher feel like he was the best treated slave ever.

JK Rowling’s lack of critical thinking is glaringly obvious in everything she has ever written.

Harry’s grandfather is supposed to have invented Sleekeazy’s hair spray / potion or something to tame people’s hair since the Potters have crazy hair lol. It’s such a cartoonish reasoning.

I also feel like half the reason he won all the damn time is because he literally just had the best broom in existence for most of the matches from his rich godfather. He’s also annoying af with all his angst in the later books (especially OotP) with “nooooo my friends don’t understand meeeeee I can’t talk to anyoneeeee lemme just be an impulsive idiot”.

Yes.

I’m not contesting the location of the post, just its content. I upvoted your post, because that’s how the unpopular opinion subreddit worked, so I assume that’s how this works too.

I freely admit I was annoyed when I made my comment. I’m sorry about that. I did make an effort to specifically phrase it so that it simply shares my perspective and doesn’t assume anything about yours; simply asks questions. I guess I just don’t get why someone would bother protesting Reddit’s API profit-driven API changes and move to a not-for-profit platform only to turn around and be happy to invite a profiteering entity with a terrible track record onto it. Sure, I’m annoyed by it, but I’m also just confused, because it’s… inconsistent. Do you believe Meta/Reddit and other tech companies are interested in just profit, or not? From a corporate perspective, can we not agree that Meta would like to incorporate Fediverse users into their social media, and will reap additional profit if they do, which is all the incentive they need?

I’m sorry I implied I didn’t see a point of your post. I agree with you on all the other stuff you mentioned about Reddit having larger communities, and so on. Yes, Lemmy apps are still under development, and they’re a bit buggy, and this is new and weird, and so on. Change always is. That’s all fine and valid, and I can see why your post is a bonding ground for all the Redditors (including myself) who’ve left in the last month. I’m just confused about the attitude toward the companies. Honestly, I’m really afraid of having to move to yet another platform if Meta comes here, and that fear manifests itself as defensiveness. So I wasn’t very nice, and I’m sorry about that.

XD thanks

Also now one thing I miss about Reddit is the ability to sort by controversial on this post >:)

I’m sorry, but what was even the point of this post? What have you accomplished by coming here and then complaining about the content here?

It seems like the root of the problem is that you’re not really clear on why you’re here in the first place. A lot of us are here because we’re sick of corporate social media. For those of us that this applies to, we have seen what Reddit has done, we have seen what Meta has done, and we have decided we have had enough. Seems like you kinda just came here because of Reddit’s API changes, and have not done any thinking about the broader trends this is indicative of with regards to the way tech companies operate and destroy friendly communities on the Internet like these. To me, they have shown that they see this group of users as a business opportunity and money they are missing out on, and they will do everything in their power to take advantage of it.

If you have so much faith in these companies that you are even ambivalent about them following you to the Fediverse, what are you doing here, in an environment that was created to escape them? You’ve literally heard from former artists whose dreams and livelihoods were destroyed by Meta changing its algorithms, and you want to see what Meta brings to the Fediverse? Can you not see why we, who moved here to escape Meta, Reddit, and tech companies, would be annoyed and frustrated by that? I see you apologizing for that user’s loss, but are you really sorry if you’re chill with bringing those things back into the one refuge we have left?

Please just figure your shit out. If you don’t like memes, you can block meme communities. If it’s too much, you can go back to Reddit or Meta. Lick their boots and pretend they have a motive of anything but profit, and will do anything but attempt to poach users from harmless, open source projects like these and destroy them. I don’t care. But complaining about a platform to users on that platform accomplishes nothing. And for the love of Lemmy, don’t be surprised that people are angry when you maintain the facade of keeping an open mind to something that has destroyed so much for so many. In my opinion, you may as well be a part of them, because the attitude of indifference you display toward these companies is what enables them to destroy good things for the rest of us.

Y’all’d’ve guessed.

(Reddit has previously informed me that y’all’d’ve is the winner in these complex contractions.)
