I do work that I love and find rewarding, I continue to create systems I am very proud of, and I work for a company I have high respect for that makes products I believe in.
I can’t think of any work I’d do for free, those are called hobbies.
They can have one bit. I’m ok with one bit.
As soon as they ask for a byte, they are gathering too much information about me.
I can accept that this is a significant issue, and if knowing that I’m an adult is required for certain online activities, I’ll go along, but we all know damned well this will creep.
What ever elements need to verify who I am stay private client side, and they can have a single flag that verifies I’m what I claim to be.
Manual transmission, manual knobs, decent power, and AWD in a small to medium sized wagon is all I want, and as far as I know, short of a pre 2018 Volvo I don’t think such a thing exists.
Burt’s in Morton Grove Il is still my favorite.
Burt passed a few years ago, but some locals bought it and reopened. It’s as good as ever.
2014 Subaru Impreza outback
What I want to drive is a hatch back Subaru WRX but they don’t make them anymore.
Guessing my next car will be either a Forester or STI.
When I was born, there were 4 billion people in the world.
There are now over 8 billion.
That means in just my lifetime, there are twice as many humans on Earth.
I 100% feel the planet is over populated, and that it is a major factor in issues we face today.
I absolutely think people should be encouraged not to have children.
Absolutely second the don’t have kids. Best decision I made in life.
I think the first one may be comparable, but for subsequent languages I think programming is much easier.
Granted, I only know one language that works with people, and have worked in dozens of programming languages over the years.
Hadn’t heard “laser rule” before, I assume it’s the same as “don’t point it at anything you care about”.
Hudson Hawk is one of my all time favorites, I quote it regularly and no one knows what I’m talking about.
I just upgraded from an over 10 year old Samsung S8 to a pixel 10.
I prefer the old phone. There are maybe two features on the pixel that are an improvement, otherwise, I’d rather have the S8.
Been playing Bass on Rocksmith 2014 for about 5 years.
I just recently bought my first “real” Bass, and am in top 10 on most easy and medium versions of the songs. #1 on more than a few.
Never play without the game so while I feel like I can jam, I don’t consider myself a musician.
Well, I’ve heard if you spin it backwards you can hear satanic messages
So specific uncommon words like “wordage”
AI bot! We have an AI bot over here!
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time …
My latest conspiracy theory is that is why so much money is being dumped into AI. They want to make AI video so convincing that when the real videos come out, everyone can claim it’s AI.
Bonfire from Dark Souls, because you don’t want to lose your soul by failing to save progress.
At one of the no kings rallies, I feel something hit me in the back. Turn around to see a small girl running over to get the large Styrofoam sign that the wind had blown out of her hands.
She looks up saying “I’m sorry!”.
“It’s ok, I’m not a space shuttle, I can survive being hit by a foam block”.
Crickets.
Been shaving my head with shortest guard since I joined the military in '96. Haven’t paid for a hair cut since. I’ll let it grow out until it annoys me and / or starts to look too shaggy.
We really need a counter of the days he has left in office.
Every news article should start with “With only X number of days left in his reign of terror, Trump said Y”.
