I read the title too quickly, assumed it was some German guy named Auf, then realized I was an idiot a few minutes later.

> If a women had posted a half naked man in ASCII this thread would have different tune.

No, that would be fucking weird too, dude.

Oh yeah it's so unpleasant not having to see creepy and gross shit in the work place because some horny dork never grew up. Gosh won't someone please think of the incels?!

Why would you assume other men want to see that shit either? It's weird, creepy, unprofessional, and weird and creepy. Mostly weird and creepy though. Like are you so lonely and horny that you need to plaster your shit with half-naked women?

Did Blizzard ever give a reason for not supporting Macs? They used to be really good about supporting them (I played a lot of WoW on one for years with zero issue). Guessing the extra effort required to support ARM didn't make financial sense?

For a few years during the Playstation 2's reign, I used a PS/2 -> USB adapter on my PS2 for my keyboard so I could text-chat while playing Tony Hawk games online. Always saw some humor in that.

Yet another Chromium browser, you say?

I'm beginning to harbor resentment

Kind of feel like maybe any other date would've been a more appropriate example, but I get it. 9/11's just one of those things you can never forget.

It's funny how eternal the IE6/7/8 struggle felt at the time and now it's essentially ancient history. All that knowledge of how to coax CSS into doing things cross-browser circa 2004-2010 is basically useless to me now. Those years were my HS hobby -> college -> career transition period and it's amazing that I didn't give up because of how god damn convoluted basic frontend development was back then. And it was so discouraging because you could do things by the book (er, spec) and they'd work flawlessly in Firefox, but look assbackwards in IE6.

I love/hate that era so much.

They also don't only cost $12/mo for access to pretty much everything I'd ever want to listen to.

I'm sobbing like a baby while my 5yo twins are watching TV nearby. That is such a 5-going-on-6 decision to make, which just drives the whole thing home for me and I can't handle it right now.

I've always loved the existence of "rebeccapurple", but I somehow missed that part of the story. Her color being immortalized in the CSS logo (even if it changes years from now) is so incredibly beautiful to me.
