Anyone remember that mid-00s comic, Everybody Loves Eric Raymond? The one about Linus Torvalds getting antsy upon learning of Sony busted for installing rootkits on user's machines, running up to his room? Google "ELER" with "Sony rootshit".

"Strange behavior... even for a European code fag."

Haha, no, it's fine, and thank you for bringing up a great point that I've never really thought about before, it's like there was a blind spot in my autopilot when I wrote that here, just going for what felt easiest at the very moment.

It's just that I'm on a tablet that tends towards the older side, I'm really quick at those things on the computer, but on the tablet the formatting process is just a little too formal for me with a finger and a touchscreen and apps that are regularly sluggish to respond.

Yeah, on the computer I can make a meme here and there, edit photos, etc, but on the tablet... all I can do comfortably is read, write, and the most basic copy-pasting of images on messaging apps like Signal. And I'd never really stopped, turned and regarded that before.

EDIT: ideally, instead of linking, it would be great if we could display the image directly here in the thread, and maybe on the computer I could try and find a way, but I mostly use the tablet nowadays. And if it's too much of a server load for Lemmy to allow that, I can live without that "luxury".
