Some people are desperate for employment.

This is a mischaracterization of his statements and lacks nuance.

Where to?

Why? Those are just abstractions. Why do you get to decide at which level of abstraction is the baseline for a person to use a computer?

Especially considering most computer users are operating at a higher level of abstraction (i.e. phones/tablets).

You are not the average computer user anymore.

Conflating two concepts can be funny (e.g. puns) but this isn’t that. “Dereferencing a movie ” has no meaning outside of manual memory management.

I understand humour is subjective but some jokes aren’t as strong as others (and some jokes aren’t jokes at all).

I personally don’t find it funny because these types of jokes essentially boil down to “I used a concept outside of its context, and for that reason alone it is funny”. However, with a lot of these jokes the context is so narrow (i.e. programming) that they are almost universally not understood by wider audiences.

Thank you for explaining more eloquently what I was unable to.

I dislike these types of puns because they only make sense in one direction.

Here’s an example of a good pun because it makes sense in both directions:

I meant to look for my missing watch, but I could never find the time.

1. They couldn’t make time.
2. They couldn’t locate the watch.

I am very curious to see if this will be the first smartwatch that works with tattooed wrists. None of the health & security features have ever worked for me with any of the major brands.

lol so my grandma is a garbage person because she hasn’t rage deleted her facebook account and setup shop on some federated instance where absolutely none of her family and remaining friends are while having to learn some completely new & often actively hostile interface. alright

That’s quite an intentionally misleading headline @hal_[email protected]

yooo i remember those TDK drives—they were highly coveted. my first CD burner was a 2x external USB drive. it would frequently take about 45 mins to burn a disc
