Pass the bricks.

As someone who uses scissor lifts a lot, I wish the manufacturers standardized on one way. Some have you push the joystick forward to descend, others will raise the platform when doing the same. I’ve damn near smashed some things in the ceiling going the wrong way for a second.

This is the most boomer-y comment I’ve read in a while. I remember my parents saying shit like this about me and my NES.

The bassline outros in his TV show were funnier than the man himself.

Why/how does a digital camera manage to fuck your face up so bad? Every wrinkle, pore, crater, valley is accentuated vs. looking relatively smoother in the mirror.

Amazing how wide the gaps can be in tech. A friend of mine is all over Windows power shell scripting of which I know next to nothing about, but he’s just as stumped when he sees me writing C for embedded microcontrollers.

But people who aren’t heavily into tech will just look at both of us and ask to fix their printer because we’re both “good with computers”. 🤣

Sure, potato is nice, but also running Linux on an actually powerful machine is also very nice. I love compilations of some things being reduced to seconds from minutes. It spoils you and you never want to go back to potat.

Cutting snippets of paragraphs out of existing books and pasting them together into a conglomeration that vaguely resembles a novel does not make me an author. Pattern recognition and matching is not original creation.

The original source material was still human-generated. When a computer is able to imagine a totally new concept out of thin air, then I will be impressed.

Will having more troops in more cities make the Epstein files turn up faster?

I usually do it when we take over a customer’s access control system and we have half their doors on the new system and half in the old still and are migrating them over. I’m an electronic security tech, this is what I do for a living.

I use it at work to clone a customer’s proximity card when I work in their building so they don’t have to leave me theirs to get around. The one legitimate use I found.

I guess being able to trigger the customer service announcement without having to find a button in a store is nice.

I know exactly what would make me happy, the problem is the people who would make it their mission to make me as unhappy as possible in life for daring to try to be happy.

This is the dilemma I’m facing. Continue to masquerade as a man and have a somewhat “normal” life, or live as my authentic self and suddenly make life 100x harder having to live with transphobic shitheads out there because I know damn well I ain’t gonna pass.

Thank you!

Please tell me there’s a Shermanposting community on the fediverse.

I can’t believe I’m older than this thing.

The zoomers and gen-alpha aren’t doing much better. Just ask the average teen what a filesystem is and how to find a file without it being organized in some sort of media gallery app.

As a millennial, I often feel like I’m surrounded by tech illiterates on both the upper AND lower sides of my age bracket.

Don’t put money in your mouth, it’s dirty.

I know exactly 0 people who are still watching over-the-air TV.

Wow, you must be one of today’s lucky 10,000!
