there are different depictions of sirens. most commonly they are depicted as creatures similar to harpies. the mermaid form is second most common i think.

i think proton is getting shittified as well but you should make a post listing all these alternatives for different services, rather than peppering them in the comments.

internet explorer, yahoo mail, myspace, icq… things change. unfortunately it’s mostly due to a huge company having the resources to promote their product to convince people to migrate but still. people can leave old giants.

i appreciate this format except it’s so high effort it will unfortunately never become a meme.

eh people are going to suffer through whatever the fuck they poop out the manufacturing and then buy a new one next year anyway so why bother

what a mess

these things come up whenever the right wing needs a distraction. they have to keep finding new groups to blame society’s ills on, so that conservatives don’t realize it’s their politics that lead to those.

whenever a group inevitably becomes too accepted (or at least not feared enough) to be a distraction, they move on to the next group. sometimes they bring an oldie back because that’s fashion for you.

and you’re so horrible that even your colonialist home is like “dude are you fucking crazy”

this image has two groups:

at first glance did you separate it into red v blue or circles vs squares?

you’re absolutely making things up. we’ve evolved to differentiate shades as well, which supercedes colors. even for colorblind people this kind of image should be differentiated by color or shade first.

not to mention not all people have perfect vision, in fact people with blurry vision probably outnumber colorblind people, and that would make the shapes not extremely reliable, especially when most icons would be more or less squares and circles with small details changed.

the squares are there for comedic effect. the shapes are not actually indistinguishable. but at a glance, color is a much faster tool we use to identify these icons. so the problem here is that it takes longer for us to decipher a Google app icon, and the solution would be to differentiate the colors.

also this would help colorblind people as well, because removing unnecessarily complicated colors would make the shapes easier to identify as well.

soulless corps trying to seem friendly, that’s why

oh no not again

i think they forgot to mention: they’re not all the same shape.

there’s no evidence they’re losing money. the assumption that piracy is lost sales is one made by execs and we all know they don’t know their asses from their elbows.

idk why you got downvoted i think this was a good iteration

going by what you think constitutes “intelligence”, I’ll consider that a compliment.

I’m verbose, what can I say…

also at least i type one comment at a time, eh. I’d say you have to give up the claim that the other party is driving the engagement once you reply to the same comment twice.

dude you’re the one continuing the engagement. you’re counting hours and shit like I’ve been constantly thinking about this when in reality i made a comment and was ready to forget this insignificant fucking thing but you’re the one who keeps prolonging the thread. you ask additional questions and when i try to answer them it’s supposedly me being engaged and caring so much for x hours, x being updated with every subsequent comment of yours, that I’m doing additional research. it’s called looking it up in the dictionary because someone specifically asked and not finding an entry.

turns out i was right in being condescending. just be normal dude, either carry a conversation or don’t. but don’t come out here with inane shit and then exclaim how it’s me who’s invested … for replying to your comments that you commented.
