I do miss not being expected to have my phone with me all the time
I didn’t have a cell phone for long after they became mainstream. I still remember a friend hitting me up on Facebook with a message saying he had been calling me all day and kept getting VM, asking why I don’t answer my phone. I thoroughly enjoyed saying “I wasn’t home and don’t take my landline with me when I go out”. I do have a cellphone now, and I dislike how people freak out if you don’t respond within 10 minutes. Like, chill the fuck out dude, I’m doing things.
I do miss the era of physical media
I still buy vinyl records, and love listening to them. Thankfully they’re hipster now, so you can get high quality, deep cut records for just about any album. I buy CDs at the thrift store for $0.25-$1.00. I’ve managed to buy every CD I lost throughout my life, plus everything else I always wanted, but couldn’t afford. I even found the Pink Floyd Pulse album in perfect condition for $2.
That kind of sucks. I’ve intentionally kept her around so that she would be useful in this last fight. Oh well. I think I’m almost to the brain and I haven’t had to call on reinforcements yet.
It takes more experience to understand why. Just keep at it. In a year you’ll look back at your previous work and cringe with how bad it was, but you’ll understand exactly what makes it bad, and with determination and self-education, you won’t be making those mistakes anymore.
ChatGPT behaves very much like the AI we’ve seen in fiction. You can use it pretty much exactly like the crew of the Starship Enterprise uses the ship’s computer.
All the McD*nalds in my area have been upgraded with order kiosks. Regardless of all the controversy around self-checkout, and minimum wage, and automation taking our jobs, I personally love them. I can take my sweet time composing my order, I can see the full selection (such as it is), I can see pictures and prices clearly...
I’ll bet this is why McDonald’s was fine with the $20 minimum wage increase in California. They’ll just use kiosks that smaller places can’t afford, to offset the new labor charges. But then smaller places won’t be able to appeal to employees, since they will be paying less than half of what the chains pay. The result will be fewer actual jobs available, more pressure on small burger joints to shut down, and few people actually benefitting from the new wages.
Steam works flawlessly with Linux now. If you have an Nvidia GFX card then you can even get a Pop!_OS install with the driver pre-configured. It’s pretty rad!
Say fucking what? When was the last time you tried KDE or Gnome? Gnome is a beautiful masterpiece that blows Windows and Mac OS desktops out of the water.
