Darn... I was going to make the same joke!

I am a mid to early melenial. I was born in 1986. My first time concerned about the future was y2k. Yes, nothing ended up happening but it was a lot of doom and gloom(and long hours for the people preventing the doom and gloom becoming reality). I remember freshman year of hs when September 11th happened. Most of my friends graduated college in 2008-2009 during the financial collapse. We recover but significantly struggling more than expected and more than our parents. Now in the background there is still the Afghanistan and Iraq wars which seem to be at a stale mate.

The you have the chronic issues... Aids appeared in the 80s, probably never to leave. Global warming... Need I say more?... The multiple diseases spreading like Sars.

Then you have the crazies pushing that a apocalypse will occur in 2012.

We get out of that all and enter into trump. Then covid 19 occurs. Now inflation.

What do we have to look forward to? The housing bubble collapse. Increase global warming. Automation reshaping the job land scape. The loss of the ability to truly own something. The same wage as 30 years ago with prices exponentially growing.

It was the golden age before mellenials... We just hung on through the downfall...

Fuck now I'm depressed.........

Yes, but how many of these niche communities are there? Hell, lemmy itself is a niche community and everybody here should take a stand against this sort of stuff occurring here.

Not me but a former Co worker was bitten by something unknown. He went out fishing, I don't know if alcohol was included but I wouldn't be surprised. He got home and noticed two puncture wounds on the back of his leg. Over the next few days his leg really hurt, he went to the doctor was basically told it's just a little inflamed here's some ibuprofen.

Another week goes by still in pain so he goes back. Might be a mild infection heres some antibiotics.

A few days go by and pain is getting worse. He goes to hospital. The check him out, he is going into sepsis and his kidneys and liver are shutting down. They put him in a medical induced coma. Once they stabilize him they run more tests, they find stage 4 lung cancer. They send him to some cancer hospital in Kentucky. He arrives late at night(still in coma). They put him in a room. They check on him the next morning and he is dead.

Sure Leslie, even if you still occasionally cough I think you should stop taking nyquill...

Granted but still bad naming convension. In comparison which is better Playstation 4 or Playstation 5?

[–] vrek 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, I understand the whole different kernal thing but that's the type of thing that the average consumer shouldn't have to know to follow your program naming scheme.

[–] vrek 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes... And the sequels? I still don't know if Xbox one s or x box one x is the higher end model....

[–] vrek 19 points 2 weeks ago (9 children)

I have no love for Microsoft but their naming is one of the worst parts... Let's make a game console! We'll call it Xbox!... That sold well let make another! We'll call it xbox360... Time for a refresh on the gaming console! We'll call it Xbox one... Another refresh but this time let's make two versions! We'll call them Xbox one series s and x box one series s!

Or our popular ide is bloated and people are asking for a light weight ide... What's our current ide called? Visual studio but alot of people abbreviate it to vs! Let's call the new one vscode! Do they have anything in common or share functionality or shortcuts? No

Don't get me started on windows.. 3.1... 95...nt...98...2000...me...vista...7...8....10...11 like wtf???

I disagree... If they eliminate schools then mother's would have to stay home with the kids. That would mean less current wage slaves.

Plus then the family would control what the kids are taught instead of the kids learning what they want them to learn.

 

I know there choice of distro is really meaningless as you can install almost any program on almost any distro. But I have been playing with kali which is for security people and pen testers. Is there a similar distro for programmers? Like a few ides installed some profiling tools some virtual environment tools etc?

 

They gotta go fast!

 
 

Have the same story but from two different perspectives!

 

I don't know why this is a thing but if I tap the back of my pixel 6 three times in rapid succession it begins to play my audio book on audible.

From what I can tell audible has to be open but doesn't need to be the app on the screen(for example I can start and stop it while typing this post). Also the phone has to be "on" (meaning the screen is displaying but doesn't need to be unlocked.

Is this just my phone or dies it happen on other people's phone too?
