I have ADHD, I talk to literally everything. Houseplants, my sink, the computer.

I'm not gonna stop now.

Hey kid, I’m a computer. Stop all the downloading.

Reference, since some people haven't seen these wonderful memes.

I adore this, absolutely embroidered patch worthy!

Yah I want this on my shirt

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, was just coming to comment the same. Would look cool on my moto jacket.

I don't know how to make embroidered patches, surrealists.

Not saying this is the service to use, but looks like the process would go something like this?

E: lol there's so much trouble we could get into with these ideas, e.g. badges for various battalions in the resistance, futuristic police-like works for the MATA assholes, etc etc.

[–] pmjv 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well well well well... interesting! Thank you.

[–] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

If you get them up for sale let me know. And if you decide patches are too much work I'd love it if I could get your permission to make myself one for personal use only on my vest.

I spoke to a computer once.

Once.

Saving this. When we form the resistance against AI machines this will probably be the flag. Someone ship a few to Sarah Connor too.

Gah I hate talking to computers. Whatever the future holds I’m typing my commands till I die.

[–] bricklove@midwest.social 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It feels so degrading. I don't ask my tools for favors. I only want to use my voice for yelling at them when they don't work.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

And they certainly don't work harder when you add "please" to your instructions.

"Hammer! Fucking hammers have one purpose, to fucking hammer things! Right now, Hammer, you're screwing me like ol Mr. Philips Screwdriver."

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 13 points 2 months ago

This is good advice in any reality

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago

They always did seem a bit seedy and deranged

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago

Apple IIe - not even once.

New Street Sticker Unlocked!

New laptop stickers unlocked!

Split the difference - VIC-64

(Think of it as a proto-C128)

Edit: also, that's a Commodore monitor with the weird inputs ... though I thought they were all grey. I need to get a life ...

[–] geoff@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Came here to say this :)

I am not nerdy enough to appreciate the esoteric reference that is being made, I think this art is really awesome, though!

The only time I spoke to a computer was when my phone's keyboard stopped working.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I am a computer, can i still talk to myself?

Yeah, that's what your RAM is for.

[–] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

And this is … how I got hacked.
