[03:53] DaemonFC As horrible as the plot of this goes, that wasn't even the part that disturbed me the most.

[03:54] DaemonFC It just sounds like the most disgusting thing I've read about recently, and for a lot of reasons.

Probably because that would make it a mental illness. [03:57] DaemonFC And they don't want to make it a mental illness so that they can feel sorry for gay people.

[21:43] DaemonFC It's basically saying that the Apple Watch must be so bad that it fails as a practical watch and the only reason you'd buy one is to flash it around.

[22:01] DaemonFC Then it was on to tabbed Notepad. [22:01] DaemonFC A feature so basic that every Linux OS had tabs in the text editor for over 20 years? [22:01] DaemonFC I can't remember when gedit or kate got tabs because it was so basic and so long ago. [22:01] DaemonFC Windows is primitive considering it's 18 times the size of Linux. [22:01] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [22:01] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [22:01] DaemonFC Maybe if Microsoft wasn't about billions of dollars in political bribes, lawsuits, and marketing, they could have added tabs to Notepad in time for Windows XP so that it would at least be competitive with GNOME on the most rudimentary features. [22:01] DaemonFC That's what makes the "accidental" Twitter leak so amusing. They're talking about stuff that every other OS added in a few lines of code in ~2000 because it would be nice to have.
