I don’t really do phone calls these days, definitely not have VM greetings set up: My voicemails forward to another service, which then translates them to text and I can get the gist of the voicemail from that.

Everyone I know contacts me though texts, e-mail, or in person. If I get an actual phone call it’s either a dire emergency or spam (it’s almost always spam). Sometimes I’ll forward sales calls to a bot designed to waste their time too (love you Lenny) but these days I don’t even bother to screen or pick up most of the time.

Finally, a politician who thinks of the poor oil corporations!

You can also print in different metals with various processes like laser sintering, still though, there are some things you might not want to skimp on: Probably best to stick to approved parts.

Fuck this timeline.

They’re kind of related but yeah, they’re distinctly their own things. I was making a joke about every problem always being somehow DNS related. Comedy is hard.

The whole thing was just DNS, including the explosions.

Ja bitte!

Haha, gross.

Will edit updates as I think of them.

Could be any number of reasons that we could only speculate over.

My advice is 1) don’t use META products (evil company, no joke) and 2) try not to obsess over interactions long passed, if you happen to bump into them and a conversation occurs, fine but if it doesn’t, don’t stress about it: Live in the present as much as you can.

Yes, definitely! I use it as much as possible, though there are certain times (especially at work) where I have to use or support Windows or MacOS.

My daily driver for personal use is Linux (using Cinnamon Mint right now), my main browser is Firefox, and I won’t deny I’ve spent a decent amount of time playing Luanti (would recommend). I’ll also admit I still use plenty of closed source software even in my personal life (mostly Steam, which runs great on Linux).

Fuck yeah: Buttons! Keyboards, expandable storage, and swappable batteries next please. I miss being able to accurately touch type on my phone without looking.

Virtual keyboards have never been great and the mainstream ones are getting enshittified more and more (Heliboard is OK with some minor modification, but it’s open source).

Literary warcrime, please tell the Hague.

If you do stuff for money, you got yourself a job. It might not be a full time job, but it’s still a job.

A lot of that scammy shit or doing stuff like surveys usually amounts to a pittance if not an outright loss and/or serious legal problems.

It sounds like you are looking to be hired into or create for yourself, a job of some kind: Find something you are good at already or go to school for whatever it is you want to learn/get certified for, work on making connections that’ll help you get a job, and put in the work.

Bangs huh?

What about fedoucheary responsibility?

Oh no, I think I spelled it wrong.

Crazy how much companies are shitting all over themselves to try and scrape more money together when, in all likelihood, it’ll have the opposite effect.

Tactical X-lax

Most people in tech that I know hate AI, including devs. I know one manager who is gung ho for it but everyone is annoyed by him and he was already well known for going apeshit over whatever the latest tech buzzword is before the whole AI craze kicked off.

Anecdotal I suppose, but IMO, most people who are actually technical seem to treat AI with a good degree of skepticism if not outright disdain.
