Inspired by paradigms such as BBCode, Markdown, and CSS crimes, we have invented a new system for rich posting on our social media platform:

Literally just the entire feature set of Microsoft Word, including macros. Please be nice and don't use your post's footer to obscure other posts on the TL.

@codl from my experience (even with that very word), it turns out some people don't tend to like being told what words mean, either, if the meaning is any more specific than what they've already internalized it to be.

shit i usually expect when talking e.g. religion with people, not the fuckin dictionary definition πŸ™„

i think enshittification as defined by doctorow, meaning "they made the product worse than it used to be, for profit reasons", is a useful word. but my problem is that people are now using it to mean "it's worse now" with no further qualification and i find that really annoying. the enshittification of my back pain over the years

Geez that's a lot of titles - and it's not even all of them, because MakeMKV is skipping like 80% of them!

been ripping a lot of DVDs from my family's movie library, to put on the home media server. today's pile includes a basket full of DVD-Rs, which are ripping almost ten times as fast as the commercial pressed ones.

i'm gonna guess that's because they're already decrypted.
