When I was born in the 80s, police drove 1982 Crown Victoria’s with a turbo.

When I graduated high school in the 2000s, they drove 1982 crown Victoria’s with a turbo.

Then, sometime during the Iraq war, these motherfuckers started getting brand fucking new Ford explorers, Ford f150s… Every couple years.

Of course we fucking hate you, stop stealing our money for toys you don’t need. Why don’t you tell us about the new array of artillery in the trunk?

God damn I gotta up my game.

My server has a 16tb HDD for slow storage, 1tb SSD SATA as a web host for my intranet, also VMs 🤓

And then 9tb (2x4 TB, 1tb) NVMe m.2 SSD

Then 4tb NVMe m.2 ssd with 8tb HDD attached for my workstation

This very far predates George w Bush.

This predates George HW Bush

Name cheap has always been my favorite registrar to work with.

Great service, responsive support, normal prices. 🤷‍♂️

It’s not hard to not piss off your clients in their industry but somehow GoDaddy and BlueHost tend to rank high on everyone’s shit list.

What are some of the stranger adaptations/adjustments to corporate culture you've noticed, and imagine emerging?

By corporate culture I mean like what you see with GoogleYouTube/MetaFacebook/etc. to accommodate advertisers and influence people to engage and acknowledge adverts. In turn, by adapt/adjust I mean how some people bleep curses out like fuck/shit/etc., say unalive instead of commit suicide/kill oneself, and make notorious video...

A couple hundred years? Why, Del Complex is already there! /s

The craziest part to me is that it wasn’t until they started forcing them to be stuck inside phones all the time that they started exploding. And yet the FTC still doesn’t give a shit

foggy,

I’d straight up tell a boss that asked for unpaid overtime that their failure to allocate resources is money out of my pocket if and only if you want to hear from the DoL.

foggy,

Ask for the names of the biggest companies over the last 50 years, and roughly when they peaked.

I’d ask about what industries emerged, and what industries support those emergent industries.

Basically I’d end up a trillionaire.

Alternative github frontends?

Github has become more bloated, slower and more user-hostile with each update (just like all other big corp platforms). SPA navigation slow like hell, the “new” file viewer/browser is hardly usable in my opinion, code search does not work without login, etc. So are there any good alternative FE where the following work (read...

foggy,

I mostly use GitHub through vscode’s terminal. They’ve got plenty of extensions/plugins for git/github

Tom Scott is a beacon of YouTube quality.

He never had a phase where all of his videos were 10:00 for the algorithm, he never jumps on topical shit for clicks, he just talks about genuinely interesting shit, and has gotten to do so on a higher and higher budget.

He has diversified, and has other channels that interface with other YouTubers in gameshow and stuff. But it’s all still legit content.

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

And a deep cut from 9 years ago. Same kind of content. Slightly lower quality but… Guys been doing this kind of “hey I think this is neat let me tell you about it” for a decade, without becoming a dingbat.

You get the idea.

Vendors fulfil through Amazon because they handle returns.

Even big stores utilize them for this.

Suffice to say, it is difficult unless you’re outside the US.

Your edit is still…

You know we’re not talking about dogs here, right homie?

And if yes… You don’t really think there are homeless shelters that are… Not “no-kill”, right?

You know sometimes it’s better to say “oops I was wrong”

I think between being a cute kid and BEGGING my dad who likes to gamble to invest EVERYTHING on Yahoo! From 1994 until the pets.com Superbowl commercial ad aired, and then just hardlined him into selling, he’s probably be able to cut me 10 mil.

Let alone that Id be saying “Microsoft! Coca Cola! Amazon! Apple! Oracle! Pfizer! Johnson & Johnson! Berkshire Hathaway! Wal Mart! And in war years, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin! Intel! Amd! Nvidia!” The whole time.

I’d be a fucking billionaire. Straight up. It would t be gambling, it would be a free money glitch.

Timing Bitcoin right?? Doge?? Get outta here. I’d have more money than anyone on earth.

If I could redo the life I was given with all my current knowledge, 10M would be like the average size of a charity donation or a gift that I would be giving.

As a millennial, describing something as fire, or mids, that was us. Y’all youngings are appropriating old people culture. That’s how we described weed in the 2000s.

Edit: also when kids were saying ‘ratchet’, that was a direct descendent of Nurse Ratchet in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Ken Keasy used that name to be a homonym for “rat shit.” Next time you hear so e drop ‘ratchet,’ ask them what it means. They won’t even know.

It’s weird how old slang crops up like that. Ratchet was like, the 60s.

Edit2: I predict “kind” will get taken in, like “KB” or “kind bud” to mean “dope”. Like “you those shoes are kind, fam”.

I also predict that “beasters” might make it’s way in, but “beast” already meaning “dominate” might trip it up, because “beasters” were weed that was grown rushed with phosphates in the soil in indoor hydroponic labs, and that shit had lower THC content than most mids, looked better, but smelled off. Dead giveaway was hollow stems. Idk. Calling beats by dre headphones “beasters” would be a fitting insult to their products.

Fleek died the moment someone managed to get that fire started. Good riddance.

I actually had an idea to make a productivity app that would limit this kind of addictive behavior.

It’d just interrupt and say “hey homie you’ve opened this app like x times in y minutes. Chill”

And give an option to ignore the ingeruotion for z minutesz in case you’re switching for a good reason.

foggy,

…on what?

This matters.

I got this. Someone, please prove me wrong. I’ll PayPal you $82.76 if you find this.

There’s a cartoon from the 80s (could be late 70snor early 90s) called Howard The Duck.

You’ll never find it, because of the wildly popular movie bearing the same name.

The “Howard the duck” I’m referring to was a cartoon movie that was about a Mallard duck who got separated from his flock while they were migrating south for the winter.

Howard finds himself in NYC for the winter, where he spends time with rats and frogs. They show him around NYC via the sewers.

There’s a scene where they’re beneath the world trade center and Howard and the frog marvel at is enormity. Then, the frog reminds Howard that “Nothing lasts forever; especially in New York.” (This is an exact quote, sparing punctuation.)

The VHS I had ended with a music video by some band with the word “dogs” (junk yard dogs? Something like that) in their band name. The music video was trippy AF. There was barking in the song. The visuals were mostly patterns of colorful circles.

Like, this sounds like a fever dream, but if you’ve seen it and can locate it, it will make sense. I swear.

My memory is shit but I’d describe the art style as watercolor. Animated watercolor. Fro the 80s. So, yeah. Sorry.

Fuck it. $20.

Fuckit 2: 4 payments of $20.69

What are the best steps to reduce the wealth of billionaires?

There are a myriad of news articles here on Lemmy that display the abhorrent influence billionaires have on our society (especially the US, where I reside). I consistently read comments where the posters appear hopeless and despondent of the situation, while others jokingly refer to the guillotine....

foggy,

I’m not sure, I kinda feel like we could use GUILLOTINES the way GUILLOTINES have been used historically, to spread that happiness around.

Buttons.

Because vinyl sucks!!

On a more on topic note: Lemmy is small. We dont have the population to warrant that specific of a community, yet. I’d recommend starting by joining a community about vinyl, making posts about vinyl care, and seeing how they do. When you’re taking up a significant percentage of a larger parent topics feed, I’d say it’s time to splinter off

I’d just add that we run the risk of being extremely unappealing if we have too many communities with near 0 activity. We’re better served at the beginning having fewer, more general communities, to attract critical masses
