Most of it is we see this so often it isn't really funny anymore, plus recent trends have lowered our faith that someone is making a tired and actually knows that the joke is wrong. It's really better to explain things just in case.

Same. In fact I worry about how often I feel like I'm sometimes slacking at work, but generally my numbers look good. I warned my boss not to spoil me because I can fall into bad habits.

I'm reading this on my 8" Onn right now .. (I normally use a fold but my screen finally failed, and I like having a large screen for reading, be it books, manga/manhwa, or Lemmy). I used to be into flashing a while back but I haven't bothered recently. I agree it's a good idea, but it's low on my current list of stuff I need to get done. (Like moving from Windows to Linux on my main pc).

Edit I do have the Amazon one also, but explaining why I bought the Onn when I already have a Fire HD 8 is just going to make me look worse...

I don't think you understand how Lemmy works then(not trying to be rude,just evaluating based on your comment and instance.)

While yes, you are a member of a Canadian instance (Lemmy.ca), lemmy.ca federates with other instances, many in different parts of the world. Some are European, some from the US. Undoubtedly some in other countries also, since anyone can spin up an instance, but I don't know any examples to give you.

The poster you replied to is from lemmy.world, one of the more generic instances is based in the US. Same as OP. The sh.itjust.works instance is also Canadian,but you should expert to see tons of people from all over, not just Canada and not just the US either.

It's basically like saying "I swear to God" and either lying, or using like "I swear to God bro!" which cheapens it.

Washington Times is a right wing rag started by the Unification church which is pretty much a cult, and tries to trick people into thinking it's as legitimate as the Washington Post(which we can also argue it's legitimacy, being owned by Bezos). It's been criticized often, and any public figures who has quoted it more than once should know that, and are likely just ignoring the facts.

Just using the Washington Times makes him responsible.

I literally thought it was another one of his stupid speaking mistakes, like when he suggested bleach/UV inside the body (he was just repeating some stuff he didn't understand badly, and iirc he didn't keep harping on it). Kinda surprised to see he was serious about it, it makes no sense to me either.

Triple the dose and he'll feel like his dad loved him.

There are pickled eggs, so maybe?

I can get that, but personally I haven't had much issue myself. I have 2 Samsung 34" ultrawide screens, and their model is LC33G55TWWN. I just tell people what I said before, 34" Samsung Ultrawides. They do have an easier name: Samsung 34” Odyssey G5 Ultrawides. Many others can be as ambiguous as your iPhone example, which also will have multiple actual model numbers, like A3084, A3295, A3296, A3297. Some are for specific regions, while one is global. You don't need to share that with others, but can be important in technical situations.

Most computer hardware I deal with have both friendly names and technical model numbers, like almost everything, from car parts, engine models, to washer and dryer parts. I had to use model numbers to find the right replacement lint filter on my dryer, instead of guessing on Amazon.

I suppose I don't understand the complaint, as friendly names definitely exist, while model numbers are extremely useful.
