  The east coast has more big cities than those other places, but there are still. HUGE number of teeny-tiny dying towns all up and down the eastern seaboard.

  Kids that aren’t even born yet (debt spending).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Twitter was a vapid load of crap before Elmo took it over. I see this as a win if it knocks him down a peg or 44 billion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tiny pp⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes me sad. I installed a loud as fuck exhaust on my car, but it broke sound limits at the track so I had to get a quieter setup. Mostly I’m sad because of my tiny penis tho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baidu CEO warns AI is just an inevitable bubble — 99% of AI companies are at risk of failing when the bubble bursts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, I have clients that are actively using AI on a daily basis and LOVE it. It is however a very narrow subset. Also, I’m pretty sure that a LARGE amount of Dollars are currently being spent on AI generated political articles.

  This was my takeaway also. As if Chromium and all It’s derivatives are just going to not use daddy Alphabet’s ai tech.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened with active users on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have NO idea about the actual answer. Is it possible that these are from different time-of-day readings?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Racism, misogyny, lies: how did X become so full of hatred? And is it ethical to keep using it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I won’t even click on links to Twitter anymore. I had an account in the beginning but even back then the signal to noise ratio was stupid low. Now It’s all bots and nazis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google denies reports that it’s discontinuing Fitbit products⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I went with the BezosBoxHomeAsssssistant. … it sucks too. The challenge to my mind is that it’s hard to make any profit on these things, so it’s hard to spend the dev and server $$$ required to actually make the systems do what they should.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google denies reports that it’s discontinuing Fitbit products⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had two Pebble Steel watches. One just up and died one day and the other slowly failed as the buttons stopped working. I knew it was fixable, but with the sale to Fitbit happening, I Switched to AppleWatch. I do miss some things (battery life!) but all in all I’m not unhappy with my Apple Watch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve long said that the best place to loose weight is at the grocery store. You pretty much only ever go to the outside edge. Buy potatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, squash and zucchini, radishes, carrots and any other vegetables you like. Bulk is what works here. Then go buy what protein you can afford. Skip anything that has been processed beyond meat and milk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Majority of Americans over 50 worry they won't have enough money for retirement: Study⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  <sarc> Boy howdy, we’d better go out and vote for the party that wants to gut social programs and give tax breaks to the 1%!!! </sarc>

  I’m well and truly better off than a lot of other people in my cohort, but still slightly terrified that I’ll have to work till I die. I do count myself as lucky as well in the knowledge that my parents are likely to be able to afford most all of their elder care. Won’t leave me with much of anything, but it’s also not likely to be a big burden.

  I’d really like them to make a sequel to “The Matrix”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The only thing keeping us Millennials going at this point⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Time capsules with less than 100 years are the dumbest thing.

  When the same people who sealed it up are around to see it opened, it’s not a “time capsule” anymore than a couple of boxes at the bottom of the pile in my parent’s garage.

  Not to mention the doors and corners…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But my WiFi is just fine!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had a line across my hall since early 2020 like some college apartment…😣

  A dancing Christopher Walken.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not willing to use it now, for free… not sure if this plan will incentivize me to join up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monitor Alignment Alignment Chart⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure I’m Chaotic Evil with 2x 1920x1200, 2x 1024x1200, a 1920x1080 and one 1366x768 but I don’t run any vertical anymore, so maybe not?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X’s new terms of service insist that tweets are now posts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Gonna go ahead and say that this is the BEST outcome for the rest of us. Employees and vendors for Twitter got the short end of the straw, but society as a whole would be blessed if Twitter went the way of the Dodo bird.
