  I think I’m going through some dumb “the internet was better when I was young” phase. Looking back on some of the proto-memes though… oooff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microchips⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have a side. My politics is a shit mix that trends left. I just feel like a leper. I was just frustrated when I wrote that, I apologize.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microchips⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, it’s been a tough couple of weeks and I was just frustrated. Layoffs finally got to me in the aftermath of the actors strike (leaderships reasoning, not mine because I actually saw what was going on internally).

  I can’t tell sometimes if I’m trading one echo chamber for another. Reality is just bizarre sometimes. I had someone arguing with me about code in a video game. I wrote the code almost 10 years ago. I know reddit was just as bad, if not worse for that “loudest persons right” way of commenting. Usually it gets mixed in with a dash of hive mentality.

  I know those points are all loosely related, I’m exhausted after working insane hours through the year with no vacation just to be dumped before the holidays. I need to unplug for a week or two I think.

  Don’t waste your breath. I’m done with this platform. I hoped it would deliver what reddit couldn’t, but I was wrong.

  I don’t think I’ll ever find another platform that encouraged such measured responses. Every thing is either team red or team blue. I just hate how much people are willing ignore so their side can win. Maybe that’s just all of the internet now. That’s fine, it’s just that it’s no longer for me.

  Thanks for the context! Thought that was weird for a second.

  I wish I was a good enough dev to write a swift keys replacement. There’s any key is available, and they’re doing an amazing job with swipe input which I prefer, but there’s only so much one person can do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a stock trading bot called, and is there a way I can make/get my own?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t help you with stock market stuff unfortunately. To be honest, I wouldn’t want to have to deal with the headache of it all myself. If you’re still interested in writing a bot though a great way to learn is to pickup the programming language Python. There is a ton of free material out there for beginners. A good first project for when you start to feel comfortable is writing your own discord bot. If you’re interested I can try to find some links after work to share!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Software devs, I need advice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously. I was in the video game industry and started out at a mid size company. It was the best time of my life. It of university I took a position at a big publisher and quickly rose up. I was miserable though. The money didn’t make up for the way I felt. If I could go back in time I would have lowered my asking and gone with a small outfit.

  Op, I’ve been in your shoes. If you don’t have the wife and kids, take the risk and follow your heart. You’ll be glad you did.

  I feel bad for the pressure she must feel. She’s absolutely beautiful, and it’s almost like some weird dude had body dismorphia on her behalf. The edited photograph looks like a fucking sex doll.

  Oh wow, it’s been awhile. They had a child? I’m so happy for them!

  I’m guessing snakey boy is copper clad aluminum tough.

  I almost want to add a hyphen now to make it official.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitter (X) loses over 30% of users in two months!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup! There are people out there with big pockets watching for stats much subtler than this. It doesn’t always mean much taken on its own, but as a whole can paint an interesting picture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitter (X) loses over 30% of users in two months!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you.

  I haven’t had the chance to look up the data myself, but if downloads did decline in a way that’s unprecedented its a strong loss leader.
