If you don’t even know how big an acre or hectare is, you are either very young or you missed basic schooling.

And no one i ever talk to understands this! Drives me insane haha

I hate my work laptop lol. Windows truly sucks more than ever now

A big one I’ve struggled with and had to keep researching is the file system. It seems insanely complex when you are used to windows file system and where shit is installed. Also the inability to install programs on drives other than your boot drive is a huge downside to me.

One example, I moved a lot of my games over to my linux drive, but some save files didn’t move. To find where the save files from linux were, I had to dig and dig through a ton of folders to find it. In windows, it would have simply been in the game folder under saves.

I do have tldr and fish and love it ! Although I get a little annoyed that my aliases from bash didn’t carry over into fish because I sometimes forget to launch fish since I almost always use the ctrl alt t shortcut to launch term

This has helped. I’ve been at least typing them out instead of copying and trying to understand each argument. At worst ill forget it but at least I worked my brain muscle a bit!

Im still listening to my reel to reel tapes and quite enjoy threading the tape and rewinding etc. Guess im weird!!

Seems like a lot of people do! I guess I jist prefer the realness and not having to worry about it being lost In pile of digital mess or be gone forever if a drive fails then have to worry about 3 backup systems etc…

Ah see, the problem for me with digital is I do lose it. I cannot standardize a naming or file format, so I end up with so much clutter. Id much rather organize my records by artist a to z and be able to physically see it. Maybe im just old

Same! Oh yeah i recently learned you cam stream YouTube with it too. So cool

This is why ai was nothing like the invention of internet or TV. Humans cannot handle the amount of bad that ai will bring. It will not be a net positive.

How to convince anyone this is true without sounding like a looney

This is 100% what i see the plan to be as well.

I forgot to mention that! Super awesome feature akin to the days of hitting record on the cassette while waiting by the radio

I dig it!! Do you have bandcamp?

Im extremely lucky to have a good paying job and still I say tax the fuck out of the rich. They are absolutely kings of our day drunk with power and money they do not deserve that they earned by destroying thousands of lives. There is no other way to win capitalism. If there’s a hell, all billionaires will go there because they are scum. You’re average millionaire bisynes owner mom n pop store, theyre not who we are talking about. Its the filthy rich.

Im talking about the majority of humans, the lazy and the simple ones for whom tik tok is their lives. Yes sure, for those who are actually adventurous and interesting, it’s awesome to have this information and power. But most people don’t utililize that at all. They want spoon fed content. People don’t even want to find content. They want it shoved in their faces because they would rather not use their brains for 1 second.

I don’t agree with the making it harder to censor. They don’t have to make it harder to censor because everything is misinformation now, and by using that logic they can say everyone is just lying (except for their side, of course) so it’s right back to square 1. Have you seen how many people think ai slop images are real? I rest my case. Technology enabled the dumbest to become dumber and, more dangerously, confident.

All of this could also just be because it’s Americans im interacting with, and we are definitely the dumbest country.

Exactly. If you’re sitting there with no phone, you’re more apt to pick up a book or go somewhere than just doomscroll

You wouldn’t have that issue since you would have developed a better memory without incessant infantilizing technology. Look at how many people still remember their original phone number 40 years later. Look up the study of cab driver gray matter decrease after the GPS era. We are all stupider now thanks to tech, no doubt.

Yep, my opinion is pretty much dead set that things really were better back then.
