Wasn’t resilience and control always a selling point?
Before you ask, the accent varies based on diet.


Wasn’t resilience and control always a selling point?


I don’t really do phone calls these days, definitely not have VM greetings set up: My voicemails forward to another service, which then translates them to text and I can get the gist of the voicemail from that.
Everyone I know contacts me though texts, e-mail, or in person. If I get an actual phone call it’s either a dire emergency or spam (it’s almost always spam). Sometimes I’ll forward sales calls to a bot designed to waste their time too (love you Lenny) but these days I don’t even bother to screen or pick up most of the time.


Finally, a politician who thinks of the poor oil corporations!


They’re kind of related but yeah, they’re distinctly their own things. I was making a joke about every problem always being somehow DNS related. Comedy is hard.


The whole thing was just DNS, including the explosions.


Haha, gross.


Could be any number of reasons that we could only speculate over.
My advice is 1) don’t use META products (evil company, no joke) and 2) try not to obsess over interactions long passed, if you happen to bump into them and a conversation occurs, fine but if it doesn’t, don’t stress about it: Live in the present as much as you can.
Cinnaminty goodness…


Improbably cold judging by their response.


“You might want to look up what room temperature actually is in Kelvin bud, couple dozen standard deviations above average when you translate it to IQ scoring on something like a WISC test. What do I know though? I use Fahrenheit.”


“You’ve got a room temperature IQ.”
“Yeah, so do you, but mine is in Kelvin and yours is in Celsius.”


Well, perhaps a walk of sorts?


Yes, definitely! I use it as much as possible, though there are certain times (especially at work) where I have to use or support Windows or MacOS.
My daily driver for personal use is Linux (using Cinnamon Mint right now), my main browser is Firefox, and I won’t deny I’ve spent a decent amount of time playing Luanti (would recommend). I’ll also admit I still use plenty of closed source software even in my personal life (mostly Steam, which runs great on Linux).


Fuck yeah: Buttons! Keyboards, expandable storage, and swappable batteries next please. I miss being able to accurately touch type on my phone without looking.
Virtual keyboards have never been great and the mainstream ones are getting enshittified more and more (Heliboard is OK with some minor modification, but it’s open source).


If you do stuff for money, you got yourself a job. It might not be a full time job, but it’s still a job.
A lot of that scammy shit or doing stuff like surveys usually amounts to a pittance if not an outright loss and/or serious legal problems.
It sounds like you are looking to be hired into or create for yourself, a job of some kind: Find something you are good at already or go to school for whatever it is you want to learn/get certified for, work on making connections that’ll help you get a job, and put in the work.


What about fedoucheary responsibility?
Oh no, I think I spelled it wrong.
Been quite a while, but clementines would probably be pretty great!
