Oh yes. I even do a full body Pernuvo scan every other year.

My entire IT career has been funded by morons like this. This is just the latest moronic idea that is going to pay my bills. Cleaning up after vibe coders has guaranteed my income until I die. You see, posts like this focus on the code that is broken and requires another dev to fix it enough to get it going. There is a long road from “finally working” to “production ready” to “optimized”, and we get paid along every inch of the way.

• FOSS - Because I have been in it since almost the beginning of my tech career (first Linux was Red Hat Halloween) and in a tangential manner have helped it along in many ways. It’s my default.
• Veganism - Technically I am an inveg (involuntary vegan). I was pushed into a whole food plant based diet because it turns out I am genetically predisposed to coronary disease and absurdly high levels of cholesterol, arterial plaque, and inflammation. Built to run hard and die young, and I’m all out of young.
• Fediverse - I am old enough to remember the old Internet and the Fediverse has a bit of that vibe. This is probably Lemmy leans more Gen-X/Xennial than other platforms.
• UBI and other Socialist safeguards - I am a capitalist but I am more so a pragmatist. If we do not ensure the survival, viability of the population and access to the means of success to majority, then the system will collapse and we will all be fucked. Rich, poor and everyone in between. It’s just common sense. Rich fucks and politicians are always focused on fast, short term gains and never in longevity and sustained success.
• Netrunner CCG - Because it’s just the best card game ever made (sorry MtG, but it’s true). I buy every new set, even if I don’t have anyone to play with anymore.

I have no doubt there are many other lost causes I support or follow that I am blissfully ignorant of their niche status.

EDIT:

• Final Space - I pre-ordered the book so I can find out how it ends.

this joke is way older than HTML

I turned my company 100% WFH in 2012. The fact is that out of an 8 hour workday at the office, most people only do about four hours of actual, put your head down and focus, work.

My suggestion is, if possible, moonlight a second wfh job. If you can do the work to satisfaction, you might as well get paid for it. Just don’t get caught by your main employer. We (my company) don’t care but many are touchy about it.

Bullet Journal. It’s the only method that works with my ADHD and keeping it analog allows me to “other” the journal away from the clutter.

That’s just politicians pushing their agenda. Ask Bernie and he’ll tell you that it is because we lack free healthcare. Any citizen you talk to knows that the big issue scaring tourists away is the Gestapo ICE. I live in two very tourism heavy towns. Jackson Hole, Wyoming (Yellowstone) and Orlando, Florida (Disney). The demographic change in Orlando was noticeable and so was the lighter traffic in Wyoming.

As I said, everyone knows. The majority who voted for Trump are gleeful about it They are currently living their best life. Do not try to excuse them with ignorance. They absolutely know. The other 60+% of the country is horrified.

The average American is very clear as to the why and they mostly fall into two camps. They are either gleeful or horrified.

Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace.

Who’s they? I don’t know of anyone who isn’t very clear as to the why.

Sadly, I believe 99.95% of those who call themselves “history buffs” are only slightly swole on WWII and the Roman Empire.
