I was about to take umbrage with that on behalf of millennials, but tbh we are a mess—not entirely through our own doing, of course—but definitely a mess.

Con man? CEO? Hedge fund manager?

But seriously, generally anything having an exponential return in this world is pretty unusual and generally not guaranteed if it’s a desirable outcome.

Particularly in a capitalist economy, the business only has to pay you just enough to not leave for a competitor, they don’t need to pay you the true value of your ability unless you’re basically the only person on the planet with the necessary skills.

On the flip side, in booming industries that require specific skills such as tech, you can generally get a pretty linear progression for a while before it plateaus in a good number of organisations.

Nah the whole point of my server is for running stuff I might want to access at any time

Anything I would be happy to choose to turn on and off probably ends up running on my desktop PC instead

The bookmark bar folder is the only one that matters, the rest of the bookmark folder might as well be the crack at the back of my sofa—stuff falls down there by accident and I occasionally might go in to clean it out and find something cool

Not for everyone but political activism is a good outlet, be it protests or volunteering to help the election campaign of the opposition when it comes round again. Make sure everyone you know lays the blame in the correct place when shit inevitably hits the fan.

Other than that, get off corporate social media, rage bait is the most effective content for driving interaction, corporate social media algorithms are designed to maximise interaction. You will always be shown the worst of everything on social media.

Similarly identify where your news is coming from and if it’s coming from somewhere with a tendency to sensationalise. Cut anything like that out too.

It’s important to be informed yes, but it’s not essential to be aware of absolutely everything for most people, and if that’s better for your mental health, you should prioritise reduction in consumption.

And the cynic in me sees this as all by design

Say they’re gonna bring the big companies to task, actually destroy alternatives and entrench the corporate players further

My local area group is pretty much the only thing I remotely use it for and that’s a rarity

I’ve not posted anything about myself in getting close to a decade now

Pretty useful for software engineering, particularly helpful in writing a test suite, you still need to actually check the output though ofc

Also made use of it for writing my end of year review to solve the blank page problem, I find it a lot easier to edit down than starting HR stuff like that entirely from scratch

A lot of popular YouTubers use the same couple of libraries too

That would make the site look a lot less popular and tank the share price

Hell, I’m of the opinion that they run some of the bots themselves

They can happen at the same time, but no, they’re entirely independent

Everything about the Gingko tree is pretty cool

Rum or gin work too

Telling on themselves a bit given the implication is that they’re so far behind every other country who’re definitely already doing the same

We don’t like to be hot

It’s not necessarily a good idea to do that though, particularly if you are able to endure the fever

Half a terabyte. 256gb was what I went for for the past few years, but I’ve found that getting a bit tight on long plane journeys, so 512 from now on.

It’s paisley

They’re able to shoot faster and are more compact than equivalent DSLR cameras. They also should be less prone to failure over time due to fewer moving parts

Probably my phone, and that probably applies to most rooms frankly if we’re talking about potential things I could need to do

Someone should fork the last GPL version and pull it into libretro

Can’t really see how it’s worth anyone else contributing to this version of the project anymore with such a hostile-to-open-source owner
