I still think this is the best iteration of this idea

[–] riquisimo@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah, I get the joke in the post, but anyone who listens to RatM should very quickly understand what "the machine" is.

[–] BenVimes@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago

You'd think so, but every couple of months there's another post making the rounds on the internet because some oblivious person completely missed the message of their favourite band.

IIRC Morello even responded to this with something to the tune of "what did you listen to of ours where you didn't hear political bs? We need to remove it from our back catalog"

[–] MartinXYZ@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I've seen a couple of American Conservatives complain about RATM suddenly becoming all political. How the hell could you miss that?

Those who ask are justified why using magenta when you printing black!

C'mon!

I doubt they were raging against capitalism, seeing as how tickets to their last show were like $900 each.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

Capitalism is when things cost money.

[–] sycamore@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

I mean, they had several hit songs describing in detail the machine that they were raging against and how it worked, but sure. Printer.

It means you have put the wrong size paper in the printer for the print-job, and it is requesting that you replace the paper with standard US letter size paper.

[–] sheepyowl@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

It may also mean that you have the type of paper that you want to print on, but the divider inside of the paper tray is set on a different size -> and then it thinks you have the wrong paper size because the paper doesn't fit the tray size.

Basically you either want to: put paper in the tray, change the paper in the tray to a different size, or change the position of the tray divider thing.

It means office space!

HP printers are the worst offenders. Either their drivers go stupid or the ink cartridges go dry RIGHT when you need to print something

Up there with Canon, I feel like that shit needs to be serviced once a month

[–] gornar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I assumed this was by design!

Printers indeed are the most evil machines I've ever dealt with.

[–] CascadianBeam@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

It’s a case study in mild inconvenience how complicated my department managed to make the copier.

You used to just load the document and press the green button. Everything is done through the cloud now, including scanning.

I’m sure it’s real important for cyber security but it’s not entertaining explaining it to everyone who needs to perform a simple task.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Their rage was directed towards The Machine™

[–] Fluffyb@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 years ago

Or the scanner that was working 5 mins ago and now refuses to.

[–] fernfrost@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wifi printer, to be more precise

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

HP inkjet ECOsomething.

I thought It was McDonald's ice cream machine.
