Damn you, I was in a ranked game!

Everything related to the internet was so unserious and fun.

A blacklist for words is such a lazy solution, lol.

I remember back in the old days of Westwood, their online games had a strict list of bannable words, and it was always fun to bait people into using them with seemingly innocent questions. “Hey, I’m doing a history report on WWII, does anyone know the name of the leader of the SS? Himm-something?”

Some poor schmuck: “You mean Himmler?”

<SYSTEM> User “Poor Schmuck” has been banned for 6 hours.

Wait until you see what kind of crazy controls we’re using in 2070.

If I’m honest, it really feels like a LOT of media got suddenly worse some time in the 2010s in general. TV, movies, big budget games - I know enshittification is a thing in every industry, but it feels like there was a major quality drop in such a short period of time.

There are obviously some exceptions, but it’s like a switch was flipped, and my interest was gone. GoT was one that carried on for a while, but then it succumbed to it too.

Ha, this is exactly the one I had in mind with my comment. I’ve re-watched it many times.

Me, trying not to talk about star trek in every unrelated thread:

Same. I really should watch it.

It was really, really good for so long. I’ve been tempted to rewatch it. Lots of series have terrible endings and are still enjoyable.

It’s amazing how strong the fandom for it still is. I realized that if I make it to 2066, I’ll have a favorite show that is 100 years old.

Pair it with TNG!

What did you play this on? It looks like Atari.

I’m very surprised too. I’m on Lemmy a lot. I’ve been using Linux full-time for nearly a year now and learning about open source projects. Somehow that term has just slipped under my awareness until now.

Amazing… Haha

I hadn’t seen it shared here, and I didn’t crop anything, this is one of the ways this meme must be circulating.

This is my first time seeing that term, and that’s pretty great.

I’m not a developer, so maybe I’m underestimating things, but these tools conceptually don’t seem like a hard thing to make.

Just a whitelist/blacklist of apps and similar for internet usage.

That’s the comic, but I’m not sure which issue the excerpt is from. I found this page circulating as-is.

There were a bunch of Futurama comics made back in the day. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to link to online sources or not, but I just googled “futurama comics” and one of the first results looks like all of them on the Internet Archive.

That’s insane! How could any teachers think that’s acceptable?
