I was hoping for a \end{meme} in the text description 😢

What would Threads be in this analogy, maybe Edge browser?

Always being shoved in your face, an artificially high "user count", but after a while people don't really use it?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Internet Explorer.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 9 hours ago

Corel word

[-] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 2 points 8 hours ago

Predatory journal

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world -3 points 7 hours ago

Threads has much much much more active content than Lemmy.

Edge is also a fantastic browser and has tons of actual users. Most folks I know use it more than chrome these days.

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Edge is based on chrome so you can throw this out

Oh wow it's it? 🙄

Gotta love when some redditor/lemmy explains irrelevant common knowledge.

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Are you arguing with me or you at this point?

Explain to me in detail how that is irrelevant without telling me it has everything to do with what you and I just said.

Y'all need to go back to Reddit with this shitty argue with everyone attitude, this was a beautiful place at one point.

tfw I block someone not in a political thread

Edit: to be clear it's the one with all the downvotes

[-] terminally_offline@infosec.pub 1 points 56 minutes ago

tfw this is you

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world -1 points 4 hours ago

🤣👍

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

Might depend on where you are in the world, it's not really the case where I am

Twitter, Bluesky, and Mastodon are most common for that format, and Chrome/Safari for browsers. I see more Firefox than Edge, with the exception being locked down work computers

Are there LaTeX haters? Why?

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 46 points 8 hours ago

I'd say anyone who has ever tried to use it hates it a little, even if they also love it

[-] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Everytime you are forced to actually look at the log and try to understand the error, I hate that. But I love LaTeX still.

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 11 points 7 hours ago

I remember having my fair share of grievences when I was learning it lol

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 hours ago

It has a learning curve and it is better suited for technical work IMO. I wouldn't tell a grandparent to write a letter using LaTeX for example.

I WOULD trust a grandparent to be able to download Mastodon and make an account, but still I think the analogy works nicely lol

[-] gratux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 8 hours ago

I wouldn't say hater, more like "each tool for its job"

LaTeX can be quite cumbersome for certain tasks, same as Word is cumbersome for other tasks. It all depends what the tool is made for, and what you try to use it for.

What's the markdown of social media? Both derogatory and non-derogatory answers accepted

[-] suzune@ani.social 10 points 10 hours ago

I've got GitHub categorized as social media. Just FYI.

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago

That's silly. It's obviously a dating platform.

[-] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 2 points 52 minutes ago

Radioactive carbon dating my abandoned projects, definitely.

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

Dead on. All you have to do is ask programmers about datetime and you'll get lots of replies.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 5 points 9 hours ago

Signal family groups.

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 hours ago

Ok I figured it out actually - it's HackerNews (both derogatory and non-derogatory at the same time)

[-] SandmanXC@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

Screaming into the void (non derogatory)

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 hours ago

/dev/null as a social media

[-] degen@midwest.social 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

That brief period of time when Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube were "ok"

Maybe it's just nostalgia
