19·10 hours agoIt’s not, the needles or whatever are way to consistent, even in the darker areas. AI would have fucked all that up
Also, it’s a basement well window, I have one of these as well. So OP would be standing on the side of the window in his house and the pinecone is on the other side in the fire escape well
Think of it like looking into a really big terrarium
71·11 hours agoLol yea, because constantly spreading Russian propaganda like Ukraine being a Nazi regime or NK actually being really good and definitely not a brutal dictatorship is totally healthy for the Fediverse LMAO
While bozos on Nextdoor and elsewhere continually screech that they must be “up to something,” and “where are the parents?” and other NIMBY horseshit.
One of the main reasons I maintain a ND account, to tell these NIMBY types to STFU and let kids be kids LMAO
In my area though, ND is fairly balanced, so once I start commenting that in a post, others usually join in lol
This has… Meme potential hmmm
It’s the age of the gig economy, I gotta have multiple side hustles going! Lmao
16·18 hours agoInteresting, I actually just adjust the volume knob on my desktop speakers so I didn’t think of this when I wrote the meme.
But now I kinda wanna see if I can hijack this monitoring it does and fake 100% volume to the application at all times…hmm welp to the mile long project list it goes!
Tl;Dw?
Try to pivot to contract/consulting IT work, it’s more of a PITA because you have to take care of things like health insurance on your own, but it might be a tad easier to pick up work that way since companies are always more willing to drop a grand or 2 here and there over hiring someone that needs commitment, benefits, support, training etc.

15·19 hours agoWell at least it’s “just” software issues, software can always be fixed, but hardware issues are usually only fixable by needing to buy a new version lol

:D fantastic news, now we must spread the news because I don’t think anyone (On the Threadiverse) knows about it LMAO
Many block .ml comms as well as it being under a boycott. It’s also why I crossposted it
The below will explain why:
Why am I cross-posting .ml?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 - CW: Original transphobic Comment from Nutomic
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.
I’m popping my popcorn, I’ll be back later 🍿
Ok, but when do I start a worldwide scandal that dominates the news cycle for 24 hours?
I fucking hope it ends up like that…
Just as the prophecy foretold!
