SirQuackTheDuck, to movies in New The Marvels Ticket Presales Place It Lower Than Two Of DC's Biggest Box Office Bombs

It totally missed the mark even if it was sarcastic. I don’t think a “/s” in the end would’ve saved that.

Calling yourself a fanboy is perfectly reasonable even if you haven’t seen every episode or movie out there. They like it, they can call themselves a fan.

Furthermore, not everyone can afford a Disney+ subscription to watch the full Marvel lore or can’t afford the time to catch up. That doesn’t restrict them from being a fanboy.

And this, my fellow Lemmings, we call gatekeeping.

SirQuackTheDuck, to mildlyinfuriating in Facepalm
  1. Use a mental block
    Close your eyes for 8s - 25 min, and pretend not to hear anything

  2. What? I can’t hear you!
    Why play one ad when you can play a dozen. Open multiple YouTube tabs at once and let the ads roll at the same time. A few minutes of noise for a whole few minutes of ad-free play

SirQuackTheDuck, to technology in Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM

I mean, Widevine is present in all browsers and actively used by Netflix for example. YouTube also uses this when you’re watching movies on YouTube Movies.

Not running DRM on the majority of YouTube content is also likely due to the added cost of running such encryption (the encryption is usually on a per-customer level, not one key fits all) and the added bandwidth and computer cycles required. Not to mention that this might be a legal struggle with the content creators.

SirQuackTheDuck, to technology in A software company called Threads says Meta tried to buy its domain and kicked it off Facebook

We can hear you, you’re not exactly quiet when drinking that tea.

SirQuackTheDuck, to technology in A software company called Threads says Meta tried to buy its domain and kicked it off Facebook

That’s why the UK company is using a cease-and-desist approach, which apparently is an option in the UK.

SirQuackTheDuck, to vegan in I've had more conversations about this than I care to count.

making sure u get a well-rounded diet

This is the only important part.

Vegan is fine if you’re replacing the stuff you take out, not just skip it. It’s easier now, but when vegan was just gaining traction, the alternatives weren’t as plentyful as they are now.

But just make sure your diet is well balanced.

SirQuackTheDuck, to showerthoughts in They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust.

SirQuackTheDuck, to technology in Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome

Since I hardly use the ms store, you can get rid of it: winget source delete msstore and then just run winget install chrome or winget install firefox

SirQuackTheDuck, to memes in The only thing worse than this is when your boss says it on a Friday afternoon.

I’m on salary, still not working overhours unless I get paid. My contract states 40 hours, I’m working 40 hours. Need more? Pay significantly more.

SirQuackTheDuck, to 196 in Britain rule

The UK will do anything to stand out, like creating their own country abbreviations instead of using the goddamn ISO.

“NTL” for “The Netherlands”, really?

SirQuackTheDuck, to games in Cities Skylines 2 reportedly runs with 7-12fps on an Intel Core i9 13900KS with AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX at 4K/High Settings

SirQuackTheDuck, to technology in Microsoft fixes the Excel feature that was wrecking scientific data

It shouldn’t make assumptions about your data by default, and changing values that look like they’re in a specific format should be opt-in, not default behavior

But that’s exactly what made the “auto” data type of Excel such a powerful tool when introduced. If you’re storing text, make the datatype “text”, problem solved.

Nowadays, when making stuff like Excel from scratch, you could opt for a “these look like dates, change the type from ‘none’ to ‘date’?” but with middle management being conditioned on the data type being ‘auto’, that’s something that’s hard to change.

SirQuackTheDuck, to worldnews in Israel calls for all 1.1 million civilians to leave Gaza City within 24 hours

so Israel can pretend like they follow international laws for whatever comes next.

They aren’t part of the Geneva Convention, so they’ll likely stick with the their own (US-backed) rules.
