Yeah but reminds me of 21 jump street (film). Asshole bullies will just use "why you hate my gay friend?" as the new excuse to pick a fight.
Are we a cult? Civ was my first thought and there you were up top.
Like free speech for Nazis, even though they've broken the social contract and don't deserve air.
I remember them saying it was the death of democracy. I remember saying 2010 was the last real election. And then before we knew it, dark money super PAC hell. This court hasn't been legitimate in a long time.
Think of it as you have the resources to create jobs for those with less. Pay well and treat people with dignity, and you'll sleep well at night.
I used to work in the industry that prevents this, trust and safety. It's like DEI. If an individual with enough clout gives a shit and takes the time to make it happen, or if a bad thing happens and a corporation needs to make a show of caring to cover their asses, that's when they invest the minimum.
You made me realize the office provided cues and support. If others were collecting their desk, even if for another meeting, it was clear we were 5 to 10 from the half hour. Also, you grabbed your friends on the way. You hustled earlier to get a good seat. You planned breaks, walks, etc to time around you getting back at a certain time. Comparatively, WFH is an unstructured ADHD hell sometimes.
Adjacent. Pivotal difference is not turn based.
Home Assistant is the biggest
Right.. because I've never met a European who verbalized their white ethnic backgrounds before.
Does this make sense bc my neurodivergent brain, or bc science?
I left when I saw how much of our money they gave to Joe Rogan to punch down on trans people. Already paying for YouTube pro for years and finally took advantage of their music app. It's been great. My car and every Google screen in the house have native support. The only disadvantage is everything from tinder to open source crap I run at home only integrate with Spotify.
I mean.. I enjoyed and upvoted but this is false. We have millennia of prewiring and Darwinism under the belt
I've used notification cleaner for years but it's dead. Anyone recommend alternatives? This has been difficult to find online
SFMTA's train system in San Francisco is not only relying on humans to run it, but turns out that a floppy disk has been playing a key role for decades.
Found myself in this thread and I started thinking about the nuance.
YT, Wiki, FB etc all existed before 2010, many of our staples even before 2005.
High speed home internet; 3G and 4G have been around fair amounts of time now.
You could play Kyocera Snake on the shitter or text on a Nokia brick when pay phones were still around.
Box, iCloud, and other SaaS and/or freemium storage solutions have been around a long time. Bluehost has been an option forever.
E-commerce has been killing big box stores since before the demise of the JCPenney catalog. Amazon shut down bookstores decades ago.
Zoom, FaceTime, etc, way before the pandemic.
I grew up in the analog world. I remember needing to make plans, print things, watch shows at certain times, yada yada... But the ability to reach in my pocket and pull out an untethered supercomputer most places I'll ever be (including the fucking sky or under the earth) and to access the entire world's library of historical knowledge, arts and culture in whichever ontology I prefer accurate in real time; have food, prescriptions, etc delivered same day; most consumer goods in 24 hrs; all my shit of all types synced all the time on all devices all the time; tell my house or phone or car what to do and a robot cleans my floor or whatever other crazy shit is happening with Home Assistant; you get the point...
Unfortunately, living in the US, I find myself defining temporal chapters by presidential terms these days. I know 2016 was when social media jumped the shark and broke the social contract IRL.. 2008 was web 2.0 and we created the content, our digital lifestream, 2020 anyone with a MacBook could create chillhop for SoundCloud...
When did the web start looking like times square without ad blockers? When did our access and ability become so pervasive and encompassing? When did the dark web become more destructive than stranger danger?
When did we get here?
R5: just started checking it out. It's cool and has some advantages of others. It's hella expensive. Thoughts?
Using an alternate icon (yellow).the original icon/app persists. It appears as if there are 2 copies installed.
Known issue?
Hey community - our PTA is bringing back a school readathon after a few years, and we no longer have budget for a platform to manage. They all seem to take a pretty hardcore fee.
Is there an open-source alternative to something like this? https://www.read-a-thon.com/ Thanks!
Hi all - the last Apple product I purchased was the gen2 iPod. I have a decade old iPad that I inherited from work and never really used - right now it's an always-on authenticator app screen at my desk. I have used MacBooks of all flavors for work for the last 12 yrs and have inherited both Air and Pro for personal use. My primary PC is Windows. My servers and NAS are Proxmox and Linux. Android phone user since switching from Blackberry, and have a matching tablet that isn't super new and is mostly controlling yt music streaming to the office tv roku, and/or keeping up a calendar app. Personal and work on Google apps and storage. Lots of nerdy stuff going on here - house runs on Google Nest Hubs, rPI Home Assistant, SmartThings, Hue, and others; Stream Deck and the usual wfh streamer tech at the desk.. I'm pretty much using everything except iOS (except for my "authenticator touchscreen").
My child has been on a 9th gen iPad for the last yr. I grabbed one for myself a cpl wks ago when the price bottomed out. I've setup the airdisplay with my work laptop during the day but it doesn't stay open persistently and I have a ton of monitor workspace anyway so that hasn't really worked for me. I'm used to grabbing my phone when I'm bored, hit the restroom, need a break from work. I used to open Reddit - now I open Lemmy occasionally but not as much.
What do I do with this thing? People using other platforms primarily, what is special about the iPad to you? When do you grab it instead of another device?
I've tried to find articles, videos, tips, etc. - but everything is either migration, comparison, or beginner tips for iOS. I'd love to understand what others are doing in my scenario.
