@neil I've not been this person before. No, never, well, not this week.

@neil Ah yes!
Me recently: I’ve been doing computers professionally for more than 20 years now. I’m good at this!
Me: why won’t my second monitor turn on? Surely the display driver software is misconfigured. Let me check.
(20 minutes of focused search for the error)
Me: wait, maybe I’ll go check the HDMI cable, just to be sure.
No prizes for guessing what the problem was 🤡

@paoloredaelli @giochi Si trovava copiato come niente in parecchi lotti di roba amiga che prendevo un tempo. Sembrava non mancare mai assieme a Prince of Persia.

@McNeely "I will say yes, but it is a very tenuous connection" literally has "yes, but" in it.

@aran
Si più o meno, gli ho incollato l'abstract di dell'inchiesta di Report RAI3 e gli ho aggiunto sotto le mie intenzioni di creare un meme per prendere in giro l'inchiesta visto che quel software non si può considerare spyware, ma piuttosto sottolineare che il vero problema è che sia un prodotto Microsoft
