This is one of those preemptive wars to stop other worse wars they told us about and I should be happy about this, right?

Act as if. I still teach this to sales proteges.

All these years correcting my child like tendency and saying duct, but it was duck all along? I always wondered why I've never seen ducts taped together. I appreciate you.

Look at Pete Rose over here 😁

You really should think over saying that a little more. It's a big country and shovels and lye are cheap. in c/[email protected]

Women terrify me. It's not a modern thing either. I was cuddling with my grandmother while she was watching Murder She Wrote and Matlock decades ago. Could probably have disappeared my grandfather in a heartbeat if she finally had enough of his bullshit.

My proud non technical ass is proud of my duct tape homelab. I have no idea what I'm doing and it is my favorite of many ADHD driven hobbies.

tl;dr I came across this today. There is a theme that reminds me of a slowed down version of something else but I can't place it. Help!

Android notification manager? (lemmy.world)
 

I've used notification cleaner for years but it's dead. Anyone recommend alternatives? This has been difficult to find online

When did the current consumer technology epoch begin? (lemmy.world)
 

Found myself in this thread and I started thinking about the nuance.

YT, Wiki, FB etc all existed before 2010, many of our staples even before 2005.

High speed home internet; 3G and 4G have been around fair amounts of time now.

You could play Kyocera Snake on the shitter or text on a Nokia brick when pay phones were still around.

Box, iCloud, and other SaaS and/or freemium storage solutions have been around a long time. Bluehost has been an option forever.

E-commerce has been killing big box stores since before the demise of the JCPenney catalog. Amazon shut down bookstores decades ago.

Zoom, FaceTime, etc, way before the pandemic.

I grew up in the analog world. I remember needing to make plans, print things, watch shows at certain times, yada yada... But the ability to reach in my pocket and pull out an untethered supercomputer most places I'll ever be (including the fucking sky or under the earth) and to access the entire world's library of historical knowledge, arts and culture in whichever ontology I prefer accurate in real time; have food, prescriptions, etc delivered same day; most consumer goods in 24 hrs; all my shit of all types synced all the time on all devices all the time; tell my house or phone or car what to do and a robot cleans my floor or whatever other crazy shit is happening with Home Assistant; you get the point...

Unfortunately, living in the US, I find myself defining temporal chapters by presidential terms these days. I know 2016 was when social media jumped the shark and broke the social contract IRL.. 2008 was web 2.0 and we created the content, our digital lifestream, 2020 anyone with a MacBook could create chillhop for SoundCloud...

When did the web start looking like times square without ad blockers? When did our access and ability become so pervasive and encompassing? When did the dark web become more destructive than stranger danger?

When did we get here?
