I have been keeping Apple notes since 2020 about my thoughts on the world’s insanity. They are backed up. I also have books and archived electronic files that will fulfill my survival and entertainment needs. Also, hosting my own LLM and have backup power.

Also, red MAGA hats. Often seen together these days.

That would be nice! I did get 16 years out of Reddit at least before giving up…

Oh for sure…and I’m here after slashdot stopped listening to users, then digg, then Reddit …

I like that I first commented on this post two days ago, and other people are still conversing. I miss how conversations spanned over months/years in the early days of the internet. It feels cozy, especially since Reddit got so large that many posts burn out in hours, or are so popular that you’re just screaming into the void.

I think the real problem is the drive to monetize so much of the technology. For instance, product owners continually try to increase engagement in their stupid apps and continually move things around and add new widgets that people don’t want, or use, all while continuing to degrade the experience of the features that they do use.

lol thanks from a white guy in Ohio, USA that loves all, even those who hate.

Echo chambers are not bad when the echo is due to the majority opinions being in favor of basic human rights and equality. Giving voice to those that spew hate is not conducive to going anywhere except a circle.

Yep. Just getting ready to replace the color laser printer I bought almost 10 years ago. I had been considering a new Brother before this but looks like I’m going the 2nd hand route again (last one was an open box HP from microcenter for $200 lol)

Yes, so nice proportion of smart people. I was whining to my wife the other day how I miss the internet of the 90s when that was more the case.

That’s what they say. And, I’ve spent a lot of time in countries that have them. But, i have still chickened out each time lol. But, I do plan to get an add-on kind one of these days to give it a try. Thanks for the reminder

We use a combination of microfiber towels and swedish dishcloths to replace paper towels and we use cloth napkins to replace paper napkins (and sometimes kleenex lol). Haven’t had the desire yet to give up soft toilet paper…
