That may be true from your perspective but it was not my intention. If you make a small effort, you might see that you too can misunderstand someone else's words.

what was the purpose of your statement?
To point out (what I thought was) a needlessly condescending response.
Your statement lacked context.
It did not. I think it was quite clear how I interpreted the comment I replied to. I mean, you got it. Even if you disagreed.
I rely more heavily on context to fill in the gaps in my knowledge
Again, I was not lacking context. Having "context" doesn't mean that a sentence does not negate the fact that a sentence can still be ambiguous. I think this is perfectly exemplified in this thread.
My point stands. People are way too eager to be aggressive/mock other people when they get the chance instead of considering that the other person might A) just have a different opinion or B) they misunderstood something. When I first started using Lemmy this did not happen so it's a shame that it seems to be attracting the same crowd that made virtual interaction so unappealing in Reddit.
I really don't see how "lol" would mean that in this context but ok. Even with the context to me I was more like "idc" or "this isn't important". I mean, if they wanted to say "whoops", they could've said "whoops".
Could I be the one that misinterpreted what they intended to say? Of course, I'm not a native speaker and (being the human that I am) I can make mistakes. However, the general response seems to be more aggressive than communicative, which is one of the reasons why I started to really dislike Reddit and the interactions on that platform.
implying some form of wrongdoing?
Well, it kind of is. It basically equates to saying "whatever" or "who cares" when I'm pretty sure the author of the comic would care. They could've just said "my bad, just fixed it" and that's it. But no, they made the conscious effort to communicate that, even though they fixed it, they don't really care about it. Which is, in my opinion, kind of a condescending/patronizing/childish/petty/douchey/whateveryouwanttocallit thing to do.
But hey, fuck me, right?
For a moment there I thought you were talking about PC.
There's no joke. People seem to enjoy feeling either superior or outraged or both and the name of the game is user engagement. That's how you end up with this type of thing.
I was similarly disappointed. This kind of humor isn't funny at all. It's just a made up scenario to trigger people. I can't prove that it's b8 but, if it's not, it's damn close.
You keep using a service/app that you know doesn't work the way you want it to. Do you know the definition of insanity? xD
I have 7500 songs downloaded on my phone (actually downloaded, the .opus files) and I use Poweramp to listen to them. It consumes less battery, the quality is the same or better and the shuffle option works as expected. I also don't need to log in to anything.
you don't need permission from the company to model your own replacement parts. It's nice if they provide the models but it's not necessary.
