They/Them | Wondering why I returned to this toxic place

@xshawnthomas @neonepiphany I don't know about Xbox but 'Hamburger menu' has been in use as a term since the three lines icon has existed. I feel like I see it less now that it's more universally understood to be a menu access button

@Aiqwen @VHSdogs It kinda depends on the country tbh! English people often prefer to use the Union Jack, but Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish people often prefer their own country's flag. As a general catchall the Union Jack is generally fine I think

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@a_woven_wolf @Aiqwen @VHSdogs Yeah, pretty much, other than the fact that it's still our actual flag so it does have legitimate uses too. We're not a country that likes to fly flags everywhere like the US, so every time a flag shows up its way more intentional.

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@Aiqwen @VHSdogs Other than for certain things like official buildings or sports we don't fly the flag. The only people that do are quite openly racist, fascist etc. so when someone chooses to use the St George's cross they're intentionally engaging with that understanding of the symbol

@JohnJohnnyjam @femgirled You're up at the regular sociable hours too, though. Use your sociable hours to be sociable and your unsociable hours to be at home doing stuff

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@LilithLovett It technically counts as human levels of performance if it's just a guy doing it remotely, even if it's clearly worse than a person doing it I guess

@Vodka_and_Frogs @No_name4aday @B16pal @Strangeland_Elf You're posting a British person pretending to be horrified by bait (with what literally looks like shower gel in a mint sauce pot) after defending marshmallows on sweet potatoes as a dish. There's been some back but definitely no forth

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@Vodka_and_Frogs @No_name4aday @B16pal @Strangeland_Elf Is this not obvious bait

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@Vodka_and_Frogs @No_name4aday @B16pal @Strangeland_Elf I've never heard of 'curry bean risotto' but if the country that made the snickers salad wants to talk

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@Vodka_and_Frogs @No_name4aday @B16pal @Strangeland_Elf you think that's LESS weird than marshmallows on top of sweet potatoes being part of a meal? We don't have high expectations of US food generally

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@drterrysimpson Also, in the UK, 'Rapeseed oil' isn't 'bad for business', it's just a plant/oil we're used to. You see fields of yellow oilseed rape, high quality unrefined oil is proudly sold as rapeseed oil, and cheap refined oils are sold as vegetable oil. It's basically a different product.

@uubzu @tomstello_ Tesla logo? It's referencing the measurement for magnetic flux, not a car company

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@quoll21 @AndyMasley According to this source, 30% of our supply comes from renewables tied to gas prices (with 45% coming from renewables, so two thirds tied to gas)

@nicksortor Sorry, do you think he's the king of whatever piece of land he's stood on at the time?

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@SecretBame @nolunchdeepweb @slackkejakke Whenever an American says 'snickering' I mentally picture them lobbing a fully wrapped snickers bar at someone

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@nolunchdeepweb @slackkejakke I wonder what they'd do if they heard that our reaction to that could be described as 'sniggering'

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@bas6601 @cqcqcqdx They're coming back! IR is useful for focus in photography and when that's included in a phone it can be repurposed as an IR blaster

@_marc_clark_ @dresserman Because not all 2D barcodes are QR codes, and whether it's QR or a different kind is irrelevant when the larger point is 'moving from 1D to 2D barcodes' where not all the 2D barcodes that may be used will be QR.

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@_marc_clark_ @dresserman Calling it a 2D barcode isn't an alternate name or something new, QR codes are just one of a set of technologies that are all 2D barcodes. Other 2D barcodes came before QR, it's just that in consumer applications we generally only see one kind so people aren't aware.

[Caffeinated Queer @nonamesleft24]

@_marc_clark_ @dresserman There are many kinds of 2D barcode, and the QR code is only one of them. It's called a barcode because 1D barcodes used long bars, then someone had the idea of adding a second dimension, effectively multiple lines of short bars. It's a name for the genre of technology used.
