They arrived when arcade machines started charging more than one quarter per play. They are there to make it easier to spend money, I mean once you bought them, why not spend them all?

I’m old though.

They should have never gone to them. Arcades should be something you visit with a pocket full of quarters.

The Supreme Court is an enemy of the American people.

I’m imagining the next viral video trend on the order of “will it blend”.

100%. I try to use open source wherever possible. If it does have to be closed/proprietary, I will only use software I can own, no subscriptions; and the only if I can get them working in Linux (wine has come SO far).

That said, I do still have a windows partition but only for job related stuff.

I have run teams, and I’m an adult leader in my kids troop, so I’m hoping to get into IT leadership, also been an architect, but I just can’t get much response to my resumes for leadership without any education on there. I’ve been shut out several times during to lack of degree, so hoping it might open a door or two. I don’t think I can get away from IT yet, but maybe can change my role in it.

So far I’m fairly impressed with it. I’ll stick to Debian and LMDE for my purposes, but the family computer got a new life just in time for the RAM and SSD garbage.

That fucker had been working as hard as he can to get us into a war so that he can cancel the elections. His eyes lit up here: https://www.indy100.com/politics/trump/donald-trump-election-2028-war-zelensky-ukraine

I’m in that boat. Joined the IT world before the first .com crash, dropped out of school for it and never got a degree. I’m very stuck right now and I hate the career I’m stuck in. Trying to find a way to go back to get a degree, maybe open a door or two…

I still think this has been the plan all along, and the only reason they haven’t is that they are waiting until he’s finished 2 years so the couchfucker can steal 2 more full terms.

Worst part is, whenever you try to do anything about it or even talk to someone about the fact that there’s a problem, you are told you are the crazy one, and that we just need to give it a little time.

OMG, I do this when a drop is about to spill, it’s reflex, Can’t help it. But I’m always terrified someone will see me being so weird.

Glad to know I’m not alone I guess.

What a glorious future AI is heralding.

unless, I suspect, like me, you have a thick foundation of rock-solid cynicism that the AI simply will never penetrate

Do we know each other or something :).

Honestly great comment, couldn’t agree more.

Quit reading at:

…AI platform where autonomous coding agents…

But your comment made me go back and look out of disbelief. How does a person get this far down a rabbit hole?

I am still pissed off about losing Force Touch on the iPhone. Haptic Touch is so much worse and slow. I loved using various pressures with good feedback for things that made sense. It was so much faster and more deliberate than the stupid replacement.

It felt like a great step in this direction, but instead of improving, they just shitcanned it for something much worse.

The “news”, nearly worldwide is owned by the class that installed these “leaders”. Of course they will do everything possible to shift the tides in their direction.

Same. I adore my wife, fall more in love with her every day we’re together. It’s not always easy, but things that are worth it aren’t. Marriage is the best decision I ever made.

I did get married a little later than some, just had turned 30 the month before we tied the knot. Maybe taking my time and finding the right one helped, not sure. Just knew it was her almost right away.
