The vibe when you’re a 30 year old software developer and still could never afford a house in this economy…

“Move fast, break things” 🤡

For Wumbo?

30 days is not nearly enough time for me to see an alert sent to my spam email lol. I probably log in to my Ubisoft once a year, at most. This is ridiculous.

This looks like something someone would make in Rollercoaster Tycoon

Honestly I think this is probably one of the many secrets to long-term happiness. Ignorance is bliss, as they say

I remember being 13-15 and not caring at all what the news was. Better times, I think

Not to worry, this feeling never goes away

The bubbles help with that extra clean feel

Some of those that work forces…

These are all the same picture

I use a hybrid. If I’m typing with both hands, and I need to be speedy I’ll typically use regular typing, but if I’m just causally typing stuff out or only have one hand I’ll use swipe. I like having the option

Full size on Kbin!

Most of my friends jumped off Reddit and onto Kbin/Lemmy for the week of the blackout. I think most of them are using some hybrid of Lemmy/Reddit now. I’m the only person I know that moved exclusively to Kbin, but that’s okay. It fills the same hole that reddit did, I don’t much care if other people I know do or do not join tbh

I recently gave up my 6t for a Pixel7 and it was the worst decision I’d made in awhile. I miss it so much, but the newer OP phones just aren’t any good from what I’ve been reading.

It doesn’t work for everything though. Having a self hosted account that wasn’t tied to any specific platform or instance would ideally allow you to have access to PeerTube and BookWyrm as well as Mastodon and Kbin, without having to worry about your instance shuttering and all of your posts and comments disappearing. I’ve also been really stewing on this idea, I think it’s a probable future state of the Fediverse

💩📮

This is especially relevant for things like lightbulbs, cell phones, cars, etc, which are constructed in such a way that they will only last a certain amount of time, because the other alternative would be a product that never failed, and therefore only needed to be purchased once. True technological advancement would be the perfection of technology, but capitalism would never allow that because it wouldn’t be profitable in the long term

If a screen name is an identifier doesn’t that make literally every social website or forum a potential breach? That seems a bit harsh

Wow this is a great read! I definitely see promise for the described system in the direction we are heading
