IT folks are exactly the people who will be early adoptors of technology. If lemmy can start growing to something approaching an early majority, then we'll see a big shift in the demographic of the user base. Unfortunately, that's a huge gap in expansion.

Yeah, literally un-installed RIF the moment I heard about reddit bs. RIF was reddit to me, so I'm done with that now. Pretty much the only time I open that site now is when I Google "whatever whatever reddit" to find actually useful answers.

There's an app called tasker that let's you set up some pretty deep automation on your phone. I've used this a set up a grey list on my phone.

If a call comes in from a saved contact, all is normal. If it's an unsaved number though, it doesn't ring and goes to voicemail as if I just didn't answer at all. If, however, they call back within two minutes, it will ring as per normal and I then know it's, likely, someone who actually needs me.

I set this up because my phone number gets passed around at work quite a bit. If someone really needs me, I always figure they'll call more than once or text after a missed call.

You sure you didn't just have a fever dream?

At the same time as my wife after my daughter has established herself and no longer needs us. I don't want to be here, but they need me right now. As soon as they don't, I'm out.

Fair enough, glad you're here!

Thought about it, but I never really posted at all so there's not much to poison. I may end up running a script that edits all of my comments to something redirecting them here, but Idk if I have the motivation to do so anytime soon.

Honestly, just a depressed and jaded one. I'm not saying it's right, just where I'm at.

I hope not, because that ruins my plan.

Appreciate it. Honestly, I just need to stay away from news for a while because it genuinely does fuck up my mental state looking at the truth of the world as it stands.
Despite how much I despise Biden, I know I'm going to vote for him because Trump is infinitely worse. That fact itself is depressing as hell, but the unfortunate reality is that actively voting for a genocidal, corporate-owned dinosaur is the only part I can play to try and salvage something for my daughter's future.

Supposedly, there's the second ammendment. Unfortunately, the people who are 2A advocates are nearly 1-1 with Trump supporters. So no.

We're not underestimating a damn thing, we're ignoring it because the feds have proven that nothing we do will change anything.
