Didn’t expect for Halo to stick with you this much… a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

I did random bullshit written on the Internet for DAYS to get my browser to use a decent file chooser, it’s harder than it has any right to be

• ml user
• replies three times to me, just saying I’m wrong (without explaining any further)
• only says “wrong” and “yeah” with no useful insight whatsoever to anyone even outside this com

You must be very good at building Lego models, because

Then you disagree with the above definition saying “[…] that is copied and spread rapidly by Internet users […]”, I’d rather use a definition that excludes basic Twitter screenshots, but I’m not dying on this hill.

… at least,

Also, I mispelled your name too ._.

“Many” may be me editorializing, but “internet people” implies that it’s not just one person posting the same thing in many places around the web and people liking it.

To be fair,

If any idea is a meme, is any meme an idea, and is there a direct causal relationship or is it a coincidence (or, can there be an idea that is not a meme)?
If so, and if the former, then the definition of “meme” is a synonym of “idea” and that would be that, but I don’t think most people use that definition.

Note that I’m somewhat biased, loosely speaking I don’t consider raw microblog quips to fit a community / subreddit / virtual space called “memes”.

I never said I don’t like the screenshot I referenced, I just looked up for “twitter screenshot” on DDG and took a representative link. I find the content of the screenshot mildly amusing.

However, many people (including me) do not consider those to be memes;
if the most widely recognized definition of the word includes them, then I question its usefulness beyond a synonim for “funny quote”.

Care to summarize what those books say that the surface-level Google definition provided to me by Antagonistic doesn’t?
I’m not going to read entire books just to defend my meme against another meme which defends a class of alleged memes.

If the screenshot has been shared widely enough by many different people, yes, it should be considered a meme by definition.

Then let me put it this way:

OP didn’t say that memes can’t be textual in nature, OP complains about snappy Twitter, 4Chan, Reddit (idk about this one? Reddit does have memes in some subs) or similarly sourced screenshots of texts.
Such posts, while possibly humorous, and occasionally a bit funny, are not spread rapidly by Internet users, and rarely posted with any variation.

Example 1 - this is a meme:
“Nanomachines, son!”

Example 2 - this is not a meme:

Just in case you have this problem with other software: it’s probably an XDG desktop portal issue, I haven’t used Sway specifically for a while but it took me a lot of trial and error to wrangle my portals into submission without using Plasma.

I suspect companies behind needlessly memory-intensive software would rather push (harder) towards cloud services, or ignore the problem entirely - I’m sure they’ll find a way to enshittify their products in a way that solves the problem for them, or see lower profits and learn absolutely nothing.
If the software in question is something people need for their job, those companies can absolutely just decide that it’s not their problem and that you’ll just have to face the shortage head-on.

I recall listening to half of a video from SumitoMedia, where his answer to your question is, quote, “do you hear how fucking stupid you sound?” (you can probably guess why I didn’t watch the rest of it).

You can’t tell me what to do >:c

To be fair, some Bible verses are pretty funny

If you were a tankie you’d open your comment with a 7 paragraph on why you’re not a tankie, followed by a dissertation that would make a HD2 autocannon proud by deflecting so much
