It actually fooled me once when it happened to choose a MacOS crash screen while I was in the bathroom.
- MikeTheGreat 3y agoThis link doesn't go to a screenshot of a BSOD - it goes to a picture that disses (insults) HackerNews folks (https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2024/hn.png https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2024/hn.png). Was this on purpose? Based on the rest of the comment I'm guessing you pasted the wrong link? If not - congrats on the successful Rick Rolling (or whatever it's called)
- unpixer 3y agoNo, that's probably the correct link, but jwz doesn't like the HN crowd and filters for referers.
- exe34 3y agoThat's the level of petty I aspire to, but don't have the energy to deliver on.
- inhumantsar 3y agojust imagine the hours that someone spent making that unsettling image. if someone found a way to turn spite into electricity, we would never need to build another power plant.
- exe34 3y agoSpite is the greatest motivator. Many a book have I finished reading because damn it, I'm not folding.
