Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I'm the opposite. I used to build computers. I've beat a bunch of cool video games over the last 40 years. I've used Windows for 30 years, Word for 25 years, Excel for 20 years. I started my smartphone journey in 2010 with Android (iPhone wasn't available where I lived for years after) and I did custom firmware, root, Xposed, all that shit.

I'm a Mac user at home and an iPhone user now, and I have a pretty basic job. My coworkers ask me why I don't work in IT. I say I don't want to hate computers. I keep it a hobby. I'm still a gamer. I'm good with Windows but I'm tired of Microsoft's shit. Apple does a couple things that annoys me. I know I could put Linux on my M-series Macs if I really wanted to. So far, I don't. If my Intel PCs didn't die, they'd be running Linux now. I didn't buy Macs just for the hell of it. I never wanna use another kind of laptop (though I suppose that could change), but for a desktop... I still like my Mac desktop, but I also wanna repurpose an old Dell workstation as a Linux server? But also I feel like my most tinkering days were behind me and I'd probably get hacked trying to do something clever.

I guess the tl;dr is, I got old, I got lazy, and I chose easy. We do get some cool tricks. So OP was kind of on this meme posting spree? I copied the links on my MacBook, pasted them into Safari on my iPhone (universal copy/paste is so useful!) and then sent the memes to my wife. Typing it all out I realise I have Telegram on my MacBook as well, but now I have the memes in my meme folder on my iPhone, so win/win?
