After upgrading I built a system with it that my mom was using until 6 months ago. I ended up getting a 5800X3D and built her a system with my R5 3600. It was starting to show its age but was doing damn well for a decade old CPU.

Same year for me, but I built a PC with an i7-4790k and a 760. I had just started high school. I also have a bachelor's and could be any of your coworkers.
LLMs aren't gonna replace anyone's jobs anytime soon. Their true power is making people even more productive.
I keep getting told that AI is gonna replace devs. While copilot at work is fucking awesome to use, it's also created the scenario where AI doesn't have to compete with devs anymore, it has to compete with devs who can use an AI to automate the easy stuff and do even more impactful work. You can apply this to basically all jobs. So until the LLMs can outperform a human + AI we're gonna be fine.
Not to mention until an AI can coax out what the fuck anyone even wants us to build in the first place I think we're safe.
Fair enough, but as someone who has worked closely with the Decky Loader maintainers and contributed my own stand alone plugin I get it. We basically all have day jobs as devs and it can be mentally taxing to do more PRs at home. Not to mention sometimes there's just not enough time in the day, and I don't even have kids.
Maintainers are ultimately volunteers doing work with hundreds of dollars an hour for free. I've had some PRs take 20+ days to be looked at, it's just how it goes.
California. Highest taxes in the US, yet we generate 14.2% of the country's GDP despite being 11.7% of the population. We have an economy the size Germany (who has the world's 4th largest economy) with 46.4% the population.
People talk shit about the state, how awful it is, etc, and while we do have many problems we're doing pretty damn well all things considered. If we get housing and healthcare fixed (both active efforts by our government) we'll be in an amazing position as a state.
Eh, it's really not that much money to get a half decent set. Learn to sharpen/hone a knife and learn how to use a knife properly and you can make even cheap knives last basically forever. Babish has a <$100 knife set that's serviceable as a professional set.
I'm very into cooking and have a $700 set of Wüsthof knives and they're awesome to use, but 100% unnecessary. They'd be no better than a dollar store knife if I didn't learn to take care of them. So many people drag knife edges sideways on cutting boards, cut on improper surfaces, cut in ways that dull the edge quickly, and then throw them in the dishwasher. Then after a year of not sharpening them replace them for more than the cost of a good sharpener.
With proper care/use and almost daily cooking I sharpen my chef's knife once a month, and my other knives once every few months. For $50 you can get a sharpening system with a guide that makes it almost impossible to fuck up and you'll never pay for knives again.
I mean the whole concept of the fediverse is inherently going to attract the more paranoid of people who don't want to have big tech down their throat 24/7. The people most aware of this are those that work in/adjacent to big tech, and have enough understanding to be genuinely concerned about the state of the internet. Not that you have to be in tech to use/enjoy the Fediverse, but Lemmy is inherently inconvenient and less content rich than Reddit so it's going to create more niche/less diverse communities who have common interests.
Tech also has a very large trans demographic compared to the general population, and you can see that reflected on Lemmy too. The whole platform is largely going to reflect tech demographics until it is well known by the general public.
I'm just glad most people here are nice and willing to have open discussions. I've seen more threads of people disagreeing and reaching common ground than anywhere else.
I feel the exact same way, except that id recommend it for many of the things you've criticized it for. The gameplay loop is pretty unique, and the build up to cooking every night implements a level of strategy to the preparations you have to make leading up to it including what fish to catch and how you invest your money.
The game feels all over the place, but in a really good way. It's not just a repetitive, "fish, cook, repeat". There's a million random ass things that get thrown into the mix which is a complete 180 compared to most games made now. It's good because it doesn't really follow the traditional rogue-lite formula that we've come to know. It gives off the feel that the developers created the core game, (fish, cook, repeat) and then along the way took a bunch of, "wouldn't it be cool if we did x" idea they had and threw it in there to mix the game up. It's a super nice game to play while relaxing as the stakes are low, the story doesn't require immense focus to follow, and you're ultimately just fucking around under water as on overweight diver named Dave.
It feels a lot like a game made for those that don't play many games, and I think that's why it's doing so well.
A low end laptop, maybe, but anything you need power to do would be rough given the thermal limitations and comparatively weaker processor in the iPhone. I do agree that most could get away with a docked phone instead of a desktop if the implementation was good enough.
Hilariously enough, even at the theater, you'd get a better experience pirating the movie. Y'know, cause you'd ACTUALLY GET TO WATCH THE MOVIE AT ALL. Proving yet again piracy is a service problem.
From what I've seen one dude is salty and everyone else (including myself) is happy to have your contributions! I don't necessarily agree with you on everything you post, but you're respectful and actually back up what you say. I respect that a hell of a lot more than someone who I'm in complete agreement with, but plugs their ears at the first sign of pushback.
Especially because those younger kids don't even think about it. Getting beat up a bit is the entire point of going to class in Muay Thai. If you're not getting beat up you're not progressing, and if you're not progressing then you should be moving towards doing so.
Everyone has been beaten up by someone younger/smaller/weaker than them in the sport. It's a rite of passage and is a large reason why the sport is filled with humility and discipline. There's always someone better than you, and it's extremely important to keep that in mind especially when working with those who have less experience.
I started when I was 14 and after 6 months of working my ass off to become proficient enough to spar for the first time, a girl half my size made it very apparent I had 0 clue what I was doing. I'm 24 now and I still get regular, similarly grounding reminders. A few weeks ago I trained with someone who made me feel like I was still learning to jab, and I learned more from them in one class than I had in the prior few weeks.
