I pay for insurance and then pay copay.

And then I pay a school tax and pay for school lunch and fees.

And my health insurance doesnt cover teeth so I have that as separate.

And I pay a tax on my food and then if it’s a specific type of food, I pay a tax on that.

I also pay taxes and yet my friends pay $2800 to put their kids in a day care.

Honestly I’m trying to figure out content the “Business” Lemmy community could use.

People and business?

Business and the economy?

Company changes?

Thinkpads running Linux for the staff.

We use open-source. Our own on-prem servers running Linux. A lot of our software is also open source. Our git, our office suite, our video and chat… All open source.

We just got rid of our Google Cloud connections a few months ago, but we’re still reliant on aws, cloudflare, etc.

I haven’t had a Reddit account in two years. Unless they learn how to ban my router.

I’m okay with never stepping foot in Australia. They check your devices when you land and I’ve never been okay with that.

Not if there are dogs, or bees. Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark, they shoot bees at you.

Gotta love it

Give me a week long battery.

I got a Chromebook that lasts like seven days sleeping and 30 hours that I booted with Linux. It has headphone jacks. It has three USB ports. It also cost like $300.

It was awesome for light coding and browsing, and lasted 10 years.

Still got sweats going, “Eww it’s notApple/isGoogle/cantplayCrysis/cant3DModelWhileWatching4K.”

Yeah I would have been fine with this a decade ago but now this guy is listening to Joe Rogan and asking me questions like, “Hey so what’s up with that vaccine thing?”

Ladies are not sharing state secrets with this fella unless he has max charisma and max wisdom.

At a Indian restaurant, the waiter said, “We have regular and spicy… And Indian spicy.” Then he goes, “I usually don’t offer Indian spicy to everybody”. I’m brown, and I was given special treatment. But honestly I think I broke his heart when I asked for regular because he thought I could hang.

Sorry man! 😭

I don’t think they were gifts.

They were daily threats.

I don’t know the specifics but I’d maybe want to take that dude out before they start killing innocent people.

Ah so you’re just like the security guard who killed a innocent dad.

I honestly didn’t play any non-RPGs on the PC until a couple of years ago.

I finally tried Commander Keen after it was compared to Nintendo Super Mario Bros 3.

It did not age like Super Mario Bros 3. At all.

I think the root issue is still real, regardless of how much koolaid this person drank.

1. Person buys a gift card from a brick-and-mortar store
2. Apple says its fraud
3. Locks account and refuses to elaborate

but I’m learning that a LOT of people are either / or with phones and computers;

My knee jerk reaction was to say something smart ass like “well they should get a computer” but you’re absolutely right.

The customer service woman I talked to was surprised I could talk to her and browse the internet (on a laptop). She told me most people use their phone for everything. I met college kids who were typing their papers on their phones. My mom never owned a computer until I gave her one, and she leaves it in the corner “for emergencies”.

I have no answer. People will continue uploading their lives into Google photos, Facebook galleries, whatever - with no backup, and hope those companies store their data. I think the average person is fucked.

The Terraria dev who had his Google account locked out because of whatever bullshit.

Don’t ever put anything secure/critical in places that aren’t yours.

I would wear them if I could. Unfortunately, to wear the heart ones would mean I can’t wear sweet ninja turtles/sonic/Mario boxers.

I’m getting into meshtastic and learned how those esp32 devices are everywhere! They seem pretty neat

I stay away from all the micro tech drama and I feel like two years ago, that community was bitching that raspberry pi sold out and everyone should switch to arduino.

I don’t have a side. I just pick whatever is easiest to make a emulation station.

And this is America right now:
