When you step back even chaos is beautiful so I get it. Good whisky I hope!

Bingo. My plan is already in works. Intention is to move back to a small town where everyone knows everyone. Safety in numbers.

Damn right but even then it’s situational. I love tea. I drink copious amounts of it to the point I tell everyone “if I’m not tea-ing I’m peeing”

I don’t take my caffeine any other way.

It’s a healthy medication.

And what’s funny is we all know they’re going to use it somewhere.

It used to be free with less of a barrier to entry than postgres

Shit like this is what makes me question if this is our first run around or if we are looping a creation/destruction loop.

Ancient astronauts.

Younger dryas.

Unified flood myths.

Objects out of place in the larger historical context.

No historical records past cave paintings.

I’m just a bit of a nutter on this. Maybe alchemy was us trying to re-enact what our more advanced ancestors could do before something reset us. Maybe we were so advanced everything was digital and that’s why there’s no records. Books break down. Digital media breaks down. Know what doesn’t? Stone. But you can only do so much to tell people thousands of years from now. So you do what you can do. Oral storytelling, but then languages get lost and evolve but things persist.

It’s a great concept for fantasy or sci Fi.

Anyways I digress.

She finna peg his ass in that power imbalance 🤣🤣🤣

Yes. Pwd change should only be on evidence of compromise assuming you have made a secure password.

Security is all theatre. When NIST says make secure passwords and never change them but your fortune 500 infosec policy tells you to rotate your password every 30 days?

LOL

I have win11 on a work surface laptop pro with 16gb and I’m consistently at 15+GB used. This is corporate bloat. How do I know? I have a personal surface pro 6 with win11 and 16gb and it runs like a breeze.

Corporate bloat is such bullshit.

Yes and the point being spending 300$+ to eliminate 10 minutes a day is absolutely hilarious.

Disagree. My experience is they still don’t get everything, can’t do furniture or corners well or under furniture. They’re stupid. They’re expensive and if you really can’t spend 10 minutes or less to vacuum your house daily or every other day it speaks volumes on the type of person you are.

I stand by what I said. More money than brains.

The point is it’s stupid and people who want to automate 10 minutes out of their day are equally stupid

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

I have a standard vacuum. I spend about 10 minutes a day vacuuming. Miele has no telemetry whatsoever lol

Killer Mike get off Lemmy! Lol

I’d elaborate. Experiment with drugs. Youth is to experiment do it safely.

I’m 48. I’m going to expend many of you here are white men much younger than me.

Some words if advice.

1. Have kids young. You will never be ready. There is an old expression, “In for a penny. In for a pound.”. Either you like the idea of kids or not. If you do, don’t wait just do it.

2. Romance. African women are 🥰. If they’re part of the Diaspora and like me you tend to be more if an introvert the juxtaposition can work amazing.

3. Don’t forget the forest for the trees. Yes the world is on fire. Yes things are increasingly bleak and hopeless. Enjoy life. You have family and friends and they are still important and mean something. Cherish that.

4. Everyone makes mistakes. What’s important is do you learn from them and how do you recover?

5. Comparison is the thief of joy.

6. Be different. Be contrary. Challenge. If everyone jumps turn around and look at the person telling you to jump but don’t do it blindly.

A fun reminder that during the pandemic, before AI, there was a backlog in new cars because all the crucial chips were unavailable due to an increase in bullshit like wifi enabled toasters.

It has nothing to do with AI. Consumers are asking for this shit and companies are delivering.

Am I the only person that still types “command” in the search? It’s windows who is typing “terminal”?

Yes I know it’s a terminal, but it’s never been called that AFAIK. It’s always been the command prompt.
