Keep sharing the tapes.

I heard that in Sheldon Coopers voice.

Move over bacon. Now there’s something meatier!

That’s exactly right, you have to know enough about the subject to smell a bullshit answer.

It’s great as a mental prosthetic. When I am tackling a new complex topic like say a new cloud platform I’m learning, i can test my understanding of the implications of a change to the console settings. I tell it what i think and ask it to check my understanding. Really speeds up my learning, but I don’t rely on it exclusively. I will write my own dang emails, thank you.

We do need to give them the Ma Bell treatment.

NO! There isn’t, lemmy is one giant honeypot.

I make steady but friendly eye contact with anyone asking for ID from my younger dining companions. The challenge is there, are you telling me I look old enough to drink! (Im balding and completely grey on the remainder, there’s no pretending any more)

A choice that will bless you the remainder of your days. When you grow up, your heart dies. No one really grows up anyway, some just make the sad choice to harden up and become closed to growth and new experiences.

Hard agree. Im 52 and most of my friends average about 30ish. Thing is I can relate, but due to extra time in the game of life, I have made a peace with the challenges younger people still fight with. Still the proximity of youth is a valuable perspective. I treasure my younger friends for this and many other reasons.

Pressure must be applied from many sources for real change to occur. Ballot power, media power, people power, any lever we can find. We should not fault others for passionately pursuing the changes they can make. This is a war with many fronts.

It’s Captain Pikes Beep-Beep chair!

But, joke aside, assistive technologies are growing really rapidly. Preserving autonomy for more people is a Good Thing™️

Not much love here for the Pi Zero W. I love them for being so flipping cute. I have a couple I use when I am learning a new system admin tool or service and I need to be able to let it run undisturbed to observe stability and function.

Lately I am learning MQTT so am using one as a broker to manage some homemade smart devices.

If I can ever find one in stock, i want a couple of Zero 2 for similar projects that would benefit from the extra oomph.

Deep cut from the vault…

Neato!

Nobody you know has that experience because those with a different moral compass left early. I’m pretty confident you haven’t done the work to follow up and find out why with anyone who found it distasteful. Your arguments-from-incredulity make this quite clear.
