Better to be uninformed than misinformed , I suppose. Pity that it's so difficult nowadays to be accurately informed about anything.

To be fair, humans weren't even ready for the pre-AI post-truth world. But yeah, AI will most likely make things much worse.

Have you seen mortgate rates lately?!? /s My boss will be fairly chill about letting me WFH and contribute fewer hours, so I'll hope for the best. Worst case I'll try figure out if/how I can go on short-term disability.

I'm hoping to keep busy and stay paid. Fingers X'd that I don't need to go on disability!

Today that "chemo brain" is a thing. Unfortunatey, last week I learned that I'm starting chemo in a few weeks. I had hoped to WFH during rads & chemo in a slightly diminished capacity. Should I expect very dimished ?

I've been off of reddit for 2 days now, and am willing to stay off idefinitely. TBH I'm probably happier and more productive without it. I just need to find something to read in the bathroom instead...

Hmm, I was just wondering a couple days ago whether HURD was alive or not. Since 2017, there seems to be one release every two years. Congrats on the 2023 release, guys!

Nice work! I love the idea of requring $ to subscribe, but expect that sharing $ based on upvotes will corrupt the system.

I had to remove the reddit icon from my phone's home screen, since my fingers know how to launch the app even with without my brain telling them to :P So far, work productivity is up , but bathroom reading/scrolling is down .

I grew up in the middle of nowhere (Yukon), so in the 1980's these magazines taught me how to program 8-bit computers. And taught me about the entire world of computing and technology in the early 1990's. I would not be where I a

I almost agree. Some subreddits are echo chambers of woke nonsense. Others are echo chambers of different nonsense. Others seem mostly fine. It's less about the wokeness and more about the ability for a handful of mods to hijack p

Oh great, now the song will be stuck in my head for a week! :D I bought an Atari 130xe in my early teens because a friend had a giant box of game disks that I could copy. One of those games was MULE. My dad and I played the hell out of it

Yeah, I was outfitting a new team in early 2020 at the same time that COVID hit. For us, it was a pain/expense to get computers and monitors. Everybody was kitting up for WFH so demand was high.

Compared to arcade games, pinballs require quite a bit of maintenance. Plenty of mechanical things to break or wear down, and tons of wiring. I had a 1976 Williams EM that was fun to play, but definitely kept me busy working on it.
