Trump on the ballot was what got me to vote. I've never really been jazzed enough to vote for someone, but I was sure angry enough to vote against.

Technology has advanced more in my lifetime than in the prior thousand years, we are very much in the middle of the greatest revolution in tech ever.

The fact people are often so jaded about it amazes me.

The trick for me is having a dedicated home office. I wake up, shower, dress in work clothes, and "go to the office".

Only things in there are my work desk, and some excercise equipment.

The company is currently hybrid, with a couple days required in office every week. From everything I've heard, productivity is up, and there is no talk from management that we're changing things.

True, but remember "did not vote" was higher then either Hillary or Trump first time around.

I was apathetic in 2016, I didn't care enough to vote for her, or know enough to vote against Trump.

I voted against Trump on 2020, and now I've seen enough I will vote for Biden in 2024, assuming he is the nominee. Otherwise, it's another vote against Trump.

My point is, there was a real disconnect back in 2016, and a lot of people just couldn't be bothered.

Trumps base has only gotten smaller, but the people who know and want to keep him out has grown. I suspect we will see both significant turn out, and significant voter suppression in 2024.

A couple days ago, but I have a company issued remote managed windows laptop, and I get zero say in the matter.

At least once a month my system forces me to do a reboot for updates.

I can tell it to wait, but I can not tell it to stop.

I like Musking as a verb.

Can't believe I've not seen this ascii art before, that's great.

Just sat through the 2 hr hearing, and yes, that was bonkers.

Would love to be a fly on the wall when Grush reports in a SCIF.

People want weird crazy mysteries in life, though personally I don't understand it.

I agree, when all this comes to light its just going to be new tech, or glitches in the existing tech.

We've hidden advanced development behind alien stories plenty times before.

I watched my father get sick and pass away. This symptom was something I saw in him a few time. Seeing this video hit me pretty hard. everything else aside all I could think was "this is sad"

Now this is a Terminator reboot I'd watch

Same, I have a facebook account just for that handful of people I can't contact any other way.

Leaving reddit wasn't so much leaving, as baconreader just stopped working one day, and that was that.

Setup an account on lemmy a day or two later and just never looked back.

Hardcore mode subnatica, and I absolutely love it.

Don't normally enjoy survival games, but am a big fan of permadeath games.

The environment, the crafting system, the edge of your seat tension knowing one small mistake is going to kill you, makes it a very engaging game.

Tried the second one and really didn't enjoy it, but the original is a masterpiece.

I believe that the area of disbelief would be that we just... stopped.

Unmanned space exploration is amazing, and we've done a ton in LEO, but we haven't put a person out past the Hubble telescope since Apollo 17, which was 1972 if I remember correctly.

While I think it's great to have tech that can identify AI generated images / video / audio / etc, one issue I see coming up will be altering legitimate media in such a way as to trigger a false positive.

Yes, this a real image of person A doing X, but by adding some artificial element to the image, the detection software will flag it as AI generated and people will shout "Fake news! See, this never happened".

Chain of custody on source material will become more important than ever, and we may reach a point that no media will be trusted.

I got pretty bad heat stroke once while running in Texas. Was in the military, and due to a stupid miscommunication was told I was not allowed to drink water.

Lap or two later and I started having symptoms I'd never experienced before.

I can 100% believe that my look and behavior could have been mistaken for drug use.

I had stopped sweating, looked pale and disoriented, I'm sure I was not speaking clearly. My friend grabbed me and dragged me to a water fountain.

Once I had time to recover, get some A/C, and rehydrate, I was pretty much fine, though I remember having one hell of a headache like a hangover.

I have 20 years experience, just cracked a project I've been working on for almost three years, and I still hesitate to consider myself an expert.

Now, I'll tell any lay person who will listen that I'm an expert, but man, some days I just feel clueless.

I find the biggest issue I run into is lack of a peer group. I work in a large IS department, but other than one guy at my last company who works with a different language, I have no one to talk shop with.

Someone once mentioned slowing time for like 2 seconds as a terrible super power, but as a skateboarder, I think this would be amazing.

Last time I voted against Trump, this time I'm voting for Biden.

That is assuming he is the candidate. Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to vote against Trump again.

I haven't played with a yoyo in a very long time. Is Duncan still a solid brand? Now I want a yoyo.
