Some of Hitler's bodyguards said that Hitler was a fan of Chaplin. There's speculation (but not evidence) that he borrowed it because he liked Chaplin

Is this a conservative meme? I thought it was poking fun at Trump's "there eating your pets" statements from the debate

Pop_OS! help: system frequently freezes when updating (lemmy.nz)

Whenever I update a package or the system via the Pop! Shop, or downloading a game or updates from Steam, my desktop constantly freezes and hangs. It works perfectly fine otherwise.

I was wondering whether this was common behaviour. It's a bit frustrating because it means I have to pick my moments to update to be when I can go do something else for a while and come back.

If I'm on a Discord call and am doing an update or downloading a game on steam, the freezes mean that my friends can't hear me and I can't hear them.

I've tried Googling it but haven't found anyone with this specific issue yet.

I run a medium-power gaming desktop rig.

Any advice on how to fix or improve this?

Update:

Here are my hardware specs. Sorry for not including them earlier; I was at work when I posted this.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. X570S GAMING X
RAM: 32 GiB
CPU: AMD® Ryzen 9 5900x 12-core processor × 24
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

I heard a good saying the other day: "Electric cars are a solution for the car industry." Give me walkable cities please

It's excellent satire

“I love posting satirical stories to LinkedIn (almost as a hobby now) because no one expects jokes on a ‘professional’ social network,” he said.

Icons without labels.

Just add a small label underneath. It's not hard. It makes your app way more usable. Please...

Oh hi Cody, looks like you're okay and there's nothing wrong with this situation

So I have always gotten jokes. A friend told me his favorite and i just don't understand it. I did a web search and found variants but no explanation why it's funny or what it means. Can you help? by thatsTheCatch in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

This reminds me of a similar joke:

Sharks can swim faster than humans. But humans can run faster than sharks. So in a triathlon, it all comes down to who can bike the fastest

As someone who makes websites for work, I agree
