Symbolism

Wow... I never made that connection. I feel stupid AF.

My favourite are the kids excited that their mom 3D printed the save icon when she showed them a floppy disk.

Teach him how to manually specify his interrupts and to tune his extended RAM so he can play games.

Downloading is a type of saving

[moody@lemmings.world]

Evolution doesn't really work that way though. Peppers didn't evolve spiciness to keep animals away, they essentially randomly developed a mutation that made them unpalatable to most animals, and that increased their odds of survival. It's not doing X for Y reason, it's X happening with Y as a consequence.

You got me there it does make sense for a tractor

[schmidtgenetics@lemmy.world]

That’s the program, the burn button ITSELF is a flaming Disc.

[schmidtgenetics@lemmy.world]

Yeah the program, but buddy said the burn BUTTON, that’s a flaming disc for a play on that pun too.

Two different icons, and OP specified the wrong one.

[stevedice@sh.itjust.works]

There's KDE software (might be a Linux-wide thing, idk) that changed it to a down arrow pointing to a rectangle. I don't like it. I really don't fucking like it.

[qaz@lemmy.world]

Those icons probably come from the default breeze dataset

[sockpuppet5@lemmy.world]

And so will the hover (unless anti-gravity).

[dev_null@lemmy.ml]

Which never happens yet everyone repeats it as if it's a common occurrence.

I like the joke, but let's not pretend this is something that happens.

[trainguyrom@reddthat.com]

I want to say the game Soviet Republic Workers and Resources uses the exact iconography I described including for cloud savings vs locally but I could be misremembering

[tomenzgg@midwest.social]

By that argument, it looks like an SD card.

I'd argue that the insanely satisfying stim toy shutter of the floppy keeps it unique, though.

People probably said similar at the fall of every empire throughout history. People will endure and build anew. Life finds a way.

[merc@sh.itjust.works]

Most other empires didn't have the ability to destroy the ecosphere of the planet they lived on.

The modern empires can do it not just on purpose using nuclear weapons, but also accidentally through climate change.

Life will find a way, but will civilization? And will the dominant species still be humans?

[merc@sh.itjust.works]

It's similar to an arrowhead, but is it actually an arrowhead? Or is it just an arrow?

[jokklmaster@lemmy.world]

Yep. And yep.

[pastermil@sh.itjust.works]

It's still floppy disk here

[pastermil@sh.itjust.works]

Got me real curious. What app? Care to share a screenshot?
