not if you had one of those setups where you can burn right from a source CD to multiple target blanks

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (33 children)

But the way the sentence is structured is saying that burning happened to the OG disc. Burning is what happens to the copy disc.

Did you want the person to detail every step they took?

[–] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The least they could do is say that they burned a copy/blank or ripped the original instead of mixing it up and saying that the original was burned. It makes it sound like they were writing to the original.

What does it matter? Everyone that understands context understood exactly what they meant.

This is dumb.

[–] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, apparently lots of people here who are familiar with ripping and burning CDs found it confusing - so I don't think it's dumb to point out the confusing wording, especially to clarify for those who don't know that burning means writing and ripping means reading. I at least initially recoiled in horror at the thought of burning data onto the rare find.

If you're going to use technical jargon, use the correct jargon. Either that or get back to your job in middle-management, synergising the whatever meaningless buzzwords.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee -3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

If you think the phrase the entire world uses to copy files onto a disc is technical synergizing jargon, there is no hope for you. I feel like I walked into dunceville with these replies. Do you even talk to people in person?

Please for the love of God do not bother replying more about this. This "conversation" is so absolutely dumb it's beyond ridiculous. Enjoy your day.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The entire world? What are you on?

Most people haven't messed about with writeable media in a decade. The only people still talking about this stuff are pedantic nerds. You're on Lemmy, for gods' sakes, and you're expecting something other than pedantic nerds.

Someone gave me some advice recently, perhaps you could also benefit from it: grow up.

Inability to read confirmed yet again. Good job Sunshine. Bye now.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You were needlessly unpleasant to me, I'm merely returning the favour.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Give it a rest, holy shit. You don't have anything else to do but "argue" about this completely useless nitpick?

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Something that supposedly doesn't bother you causes this reaction? That's hilarious.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You are consistently giving me notifications in my inbox. Do you think I keep coming back to this inane thread like I'm checking on it?

Let. It. Go. This is the only thing you've been talking about for an entire day. That's pathetic.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

This is a consequence of your actions, is that not clear to you?
