Ah, I was wondering why YouTube was taking so long to load recently. I thought it was just because their code was shit, and it turns out I was right, but not in the way I thought.

[The meme shows two fanart images of the character Sayori, from "Doki Doki Literature Club", with text to the right of each image.]


[In the first image, Sayori is wearing sunglasses and scowling, with her hand up in a blocking gesture. The text reads:]

Anti-Cheat


[In the second image, Sayori has her head up high, looking pleased, with a finger pointed to the right, where the text reads:]

Kernel Level Surveillance

[A photograph of a road signpost in front of a metal fence with a low, long building in the distance. The post has two signs on it. At the top is an octagonal sign, filled red with a white outline, reading "STOP". Beneath it is a rectangular sign with an arrow pointing up to the stop sign, and text reading "THIS IS A STOP SIGN".]

I've noticed very recently (last two days or so) that when I get a direct link to a specific comment, it won't load anything under certain circumstances.

Following the link from the button on the comment, either from the profile or from viewing other comments on the post, will work, but using the link as the URL for a post in a different community, or opening a new tab and pasting the link in, don't.

In the former situation, the UI of the post I gave it as the URL for just freezes until I press the back button, still showing the post. In the latter, Lemmy doesn't load at all.

I'm using Librewolf 116.0, based on Firefox 116.0.

[Gru, the long-nosed protagonist of the "Despicable Me" franchise, presents to the camera, pointing into the air and smiling. Behind him is a flipchart with text reading:]

And the best part about using Linux: No viruses!


[Still presenting, Gru has his hand in a C shape and his head down as he peers at the gap between his fingers. The text now reads:]

Look at this, a website downloaded a malicious .exe on my machine.


[Gru now has his hands pointing down, fingers splayed, still presenting. The text now reads:]

*Double Click*

See? Nothing happe...


[Gru looks back to the flipchart in a double-take, his eyes round and wide and his mouth downturned. The text still reads:]

*Wine is launching*

[The Wine logo: a slightly tipped wine glass with red wine sloshing inside it.]

STOP USING CSS

* HTML WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN CLASSES
* YEARS OF MARKUP yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for styling beyond <TABLE>
* Wanted to center content for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "<CENTER>"
* "Yes please align that content exactly 32.89% left. Please align 59.0px down"
    - Statements dreams up by the utterly deranged

LOOK at what FRONT-END Devs  have been demanding your Respect for all this time.
(This is REAL CSS. done by REAL Devs)

[Three screenshots of CSS code, each one marked with a number of red question marks. The first screenshot has five question marks and reads as follows:]

h1 {
        font-size: .75em;
        position: absolute;
        bottom: 20px;
        width: 94%;
        left: 2%;
}

[The second screenshot has eight question marks and reads as follows:]

*{
    font-size: 30px;

}
    q::before {
  content: "«";
  color: blue;
]

q::after {
  content: "»";
  color: red;
}

[The third screenshot has sixteen question marks and reads as follows:]

#header ul a:focus, #header ul a:active,
#header ul a:hover {
    background-color: #5A5A5A;
    outline-color: -moz-use-text-color:
    outline-style: none;
    outline-width: medium;
}

[The screenshots end.]

"Hello center that div please"

They have played us for absolute fools

In Unix there is a "man" command and a "cat" command...

[Image of a black dog with a white throat and floppy ears that hang limply, sitting by a bed. Their mouth is downturned and their round, sad eyes look up.]

so why no "dog" command???

[Four images of toilet roll holders, each with text above them.

The first shows a toilet roll holder holding a partially-used roll of toilet paper. Its text reads, "Non-zero value".

The second shows a holder holding a completely used roll of toilet paper, leaving just the cardboard tube. Its text reads, "0".

The third shows a holder with no toilet roll or cardboard tube on it at all. Its text reads, "null".

The fourth shows no holder; simply plain wall. Its text reads, "undefined".]

[An Engineer Helping A Designer]


Panel 1

[Two people stand in front of a computer. One, the designer, has blue hair with a full beard and moustache, with sideburns, and a large nose. The other, the engineer, has brown hair and wears a hoodie. The engineer is typing at the computer, with a window up on the screen, while the designer stands with their arms limp by their sides.]

Engineer: No problem, we can fix this on the terminal


Panel 2

[The designer has their hand up to their beard, with wide eyes and a mouth rounded by amazement. The designer has a slightly confused expression, eyebrows frowning a little.]

Designer: Whoa, you're a hacker!

Engineer: No, it's just the terminal.


Panel 3

[The designer has their hands in the air, their mouth wide open, their eyebrows arced and both eyes looking in opposite directions in a look of bafflement. The engineer is rolling their eyes.]

Designer: Where are all the buttons, icons, and dropdown menus?


Panel 4

[Now with both hands to their beard, the designer has returned to their look of amazement, but with a hint of fear in their eyes, their pupils contracted to tiny white dots. The engineer looks relatively unphased.]

Designer: Is this... the matrix?

Engineer: Yes.
