Digg 2.0 jumper in 2009. I always thought there would be a new Reddit after 2014. But it took 10 years for Lemmy to show up.

Man. Where I grew up. People like this were murdered by the mob. Bring back the mob.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 1 week ago:
I bet we’ll start to see domestic terror attacks against server farms when more of the population loses their jobs to this bullshit.
I ain’t saying I’m going to do it. But a man burned down the governors home in Pennsylvania. People who lose their homes and lives are not going to take this shit well.
- Comment on Is it normal to be really sentimental/upset over a bowl I accidentally smashed? I had it since I was 17 (am 30 now) and my boyfriend was alive back then too. 1 week ago:
Ya. Material items hold memories and it can feel like losing someone close to you when that item is lost as well. My uncle gave me my grandfathers class ring after he passed and I carry it with me to every sports game I go to.
- Comment on Pebble Time 2 has screws 2 weeks ago:
That’s what they did with onboard usb C drives. New computers now have screwed in USB C ports in case they need to be replaced.

- Comment on Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears 3 weeks ago:
I do believe he is starting investments into new projects and needed liquid cash. I wouldn’t dig too deep into this.
- Comment on Watch me go Reddit 3 weeks ago:
Ya. We used to be able to have a voice there. Now the minority conservatives are pushing out the majority liberals. Piece by piece.

I’m happy to be here and grow in the wind.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t really realize I was middle aged until I hit 39. It’s been a blur for years. I’m finally making enough to possibly own a home soon. We’ll see how my work holds up in this economy. But honestly. I don’t even think about it. Just be you and take it one day at a time. Stop looking for tomorrow when it’s today.
- Comment on Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs 4 weeks ago:
This collapse when we only need 1/100 of what they are planning. Because not everyone is going to need a massive data center. Just like cars, computers and every other technology. It starts out diverse than shrinksssssssss.

That’s why I don’t do it often if at all at this point. I had my fun.

- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 1 month ago:
I pay for Gemini and I haven’t used it in months. I don’t see any real case uses for me as an engineer. It just produces trash I have to fix and could have avoided if I did it myself in the beginning.
- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 1 month ago:
5 kids. Where two of them still need help into their 30’s and 40’s. He has never been good at finances. He has maybe enough for a decade. But not much after that.
- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 1 month ago:
I mean things like health insurance that is now exponentially more expensive since they didn’t fund the ACA. Since he will no longer have private insurance. He will be paying 4x more than he would have a year ago.

- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 1 month ago:
Boomer Trumper father is about to find out how he fucked himself by backing a felon after he lost his directorship job at 70 years old. No one is going to hire him now. And he is not ready for retirement. By miles.

This is why I still pay the NYT for access. They may suck. But I am trying to keep some of the good ones employed.
- Comment on They say remote working less productive 1 month ago:
I start a new remote job on Monday. It’s been a while since I was laid off. Just about 7 months. But I was lucky to find a firm looking specifically for a remote engineer in the specific support territory. Bingo!
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 2 months ago:
I have the end of life’d JBL smart speaker. It still works with Google. But doesn’t have the bells and whistles. But it’s the best system I have ever come across. I have one Google screen and I don’t see the difference between the two. And the JBL has amazing sound.

3070 ti can be bought used and does the trick. Also you can find a PC on marketplace for a few hundred. And upgrade the GPU. You’ll get a PC going for just about what a console costs now.

Or maybe it’s all bad.

Why do people even play on consoles? Just build a PC and be done with this shit.
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 2 months ago:
Sure sounds like a certain companies HQ needs to be burned down. So they get the point about spying on Americans.
- Comment on Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say 2 months ago:
My parents are the clowns that eat up not manipulation posts. I have never seen them go anywhere to eat. But somehow they were CB masters. Their friend group is just as stupid to. They buy into rage bait like children and most of us kids are just done with them. It’s pathetic.
