This meme is way more clever than it should be

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Can you please explain? I've never used Mac and it's been a long time since I've properly used windows.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

File paths in Linux and Mac use / while Windows uses \

Take a look at the angle of the lightsabers.

Technically, Windows understands both / and \. I personally always use / just because it's easier to type that.

I never would've gotten that!

Like I said, way more clever than it should be. Props to the creator for sure.

The lightsaber orientation is the same as the slash orientation

Didn't realize until I read your comment. Thanks.

It's not something the Jedi would tell you.

Only a sith deals in absolute paths.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

It's the way.

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 38 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

I didn't realise until I read that comment, your comment and the other comment about slash direction.

JFC, thank you. I didn’t realize until it was spelled out for me. I’m definitely not that kind of smart.

This is why I always sucked at games like Myst

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Myst and Riven are two of my favorite games of all time. Give Myst another go if you’ve never finished it. After you complete the game, you unlock the “making of Myst” videos. The red and blue brothers in the videos are the two creators. They were independent developers in the 90s, so they made do with what they had. At one point they shove a rubber hose into a toilet to make the atmospheric bubbling sounds.

I realized immediately, read the comment, and then went back to look for a deeper meaning. It wasn't there.
