I started out with technology in the early 90’s and never stopped. Now starting to get back to my roots.
In the meantime I have owned an IT business, served in the military, wrote a book and a bunch of other stuff.
GenX - here’s a few:
Lawn darts. Unsupervised play over 1/4 mile from home at age 8. Unsupervised play over 1/2 mile from home at age 10 with a BB gun. BB guns as paintball weapons. (no eyes were put out). Riding a bicycle to school on a highway shoulder from grade 7-9. Latchkey kid. Going fishing with a neighbor (retired man) as an adolescent for 2-2 summers. (Ps. We fished and talked.)
I notice the 55 and older menu. Save some money!
Nice pic! I’ve always played 10000 with 6 dice.
RIP bee.
Yellowjackets - I hate mosquitoes but they just trying to live. Yellowjackets are assholes.
I’m studying for my Network+ (should have had it a long time ago), and watching a #youtube live stream with a study group. Very laggy and buffering events, even when turning my resolution down to 360p.
I suspected I was being throttled because I was using #Firefox and uBlock.
I opened up #Chrome (no #adblock is added), and watched the same stream. No glitches at all.
Not surprised but quite annoying of course.
I’m going to try a useragent addon and see if it helps.
Yellow Ledbetter is a fun example. Boy I was shocked when I finally found the lyrics.
I find that one of the drawbacks to this federated landscape is knowing when to make a new account and where. There. Are. So. Many. Options.
If Lemmy and AP are so limiting why not be part of its development and growth? Development doesn’t seem to happen fast on these platforms, and for good reason. “Move fast and break stuff” is a terrible mantra in my opinion, and I’m glad for things moving more slowly.
In either case I have enjoyed the discussions over there and it would be a shame to see it defederate. Best of luck to you and the team either way.
“Before I apologize…”
It’s better to regret something you have done than something you haven’t.
The only reason democrats lose is because of democrats. They screw up a good thing more times than I can count.
They do it with such regularity that republicans can now be the boldest of assholes and consistently deliver on their obviously heinous plans.
I think the bicycle/stick meme was based on democrats.
