He’s a treasure

He’s still posting mundane shit on Reddit daily. “I was working on the film industry and had a tangential relationship with ST…” Like dude, do you know who tf you are?

1987. TIL.

Android temu app See Chinese trash I want in my home Screenshot Share image to Google search app Open Amazon link that matches product See keepa pricing history Decide whether to purchase Chinese trash based on cost and knowing increased shipping time over Prime

I hate their UI

Never purchase without Keepa check. I even google image search temu to find the Amazon link and check history

I wasn’t saying the latter but that’s an interesting idea. Not the former per se- the cis heteronormative gender and sexuality binary is bullshit and only exists bc religion (capitalism… moar serfs in fields) and generations of fear. There’s tons of fluidity in earlier civilizations and more in nature.

I’d just like to hear some comments from all the downvoters. Odd thing to get so defensive about Lemmy

No.

Gender is a neurotypical construct

I laughed my ass off at this! So well put!

Today, my last 3 messages to Gemini were all pretty much: “cool! We’re agreed on the framework and tone etc in which you’ll communicate this thing to me. Now please, create the fucking thing already”

NYC without drivers ed

I hope so. When I’m paid well, I tip well, buy local. Hopefully they trickle the same.

I do this. If I have to hire offshore, they’re going to get paid like local royalty. Paid holidays etc. Gotta treat people like people.

Whenever I’m hating myself for my single use weaknesses, I picture a nurse doing one blood test or bandage… In every room… In every hospital… Everywhere… and that’s just healthcare which we give a pass for obvious reasons. If you want to project your self-hate onto others instead of using the exercise to chill out and be kind to yourself, you can even think of other industries like how much shit is coming out of some gun or Budweiser factory somewhere 🤷

Yeah, sorry for oversimplifying. I worked in IT resellers for years and am acutely aware of all the different roles, and even specializations within that. The irony is back then (20 years) you’d get walked around the halls and introd to “the networking guy,” “procurement for paper and toner,” “Mike who needs components for the pbx; or the as400” - I had a thing for everyone from data centers to keyboards… but “oh, those are the software guys… they don’t buy stuff” - today it’s a devtools man’s world. Everything is for the software guys! (Having said that, my friends that grew into devops are finding new (old) opportunities managing actual on site data centers and co-los more often as the unit economics of AWS, gcp, azure, etc haven’t panned out as hoped)

I think Star Trek 5 was my third theater experience. Grandmother took me which is weird bc I don’t remember her watching, but my mom was obsessed with ST:TNG. But I remember IV being on TV back then.

The lmao implies calm since you asked for my two cents

Oh man love it. In the 80s, I used to go to my grandmother’s work after school. She was a stenographer at the neighborhood newspaper in Brooklyn. If she was alive she’d probably love this. My mom ran a copy room for a high school but I think it would go over her head.

As a non-dev (tinker for fun) observer- it sounds like your friends and family think you’re working in IT, but their assumptions thereafter are fair. Is that accurate? That the misconception is software dev does not equal IT?

fuck you. my uncle was a dot matrix.
