The first step for me was recognizing that procrastinating created more work for me in the future. Also, having those swords of Damocles hanging over my head robbed me of my mental health.

Claude is my coding mentor. Wouldn’t want to work without it.

One of the men repeatedly made a “call me” gesture with his hand, then took his fedora off and literally tipped it at her…

It’s assholes like this that make dudes in fedoras look bad. This and -you know- the hats themselves.

The best protest is to stop moderating. Lie flat. Let the subreddit go to shit.

How about some pre-transhuman solarpunk? I recommend my favorite book, Walkaway by Cory Doctorow. It’s about the birth pangs of a post scarcity society. Absolutely brilliant.

WW3 is more likely to happen if Russia wins. If we show our bellies to Russia, China would move on Taiwan. If Ukraine wins, we kill two birds with one drone.

Philanthropy is PR for billionaires. If we taxed them, we would have a social safety net and no need for their pet projects.

I thought I was the only one who’s seen Scavenger’s Reign. I haven’t heard much talk about it. Damn shame because it’s amazing.

Six more months until season 2. Counting down the days.

Scavengers Reign. If you like The Expanse, you might be into sci-fi animated with a seriously weird style. And it’s one season with the story tied up in a bow at the end.

Well what’s the point of self driving if you can’t have a wank on the drive home?

I played a lot of Elite Dangerous until I realized there was not much to do besides “do the profitable thing over and over before it gets nerfed.” And by the time Squadrons came out, I also ran out of fucks to give.

The only game I really liked in VR was Euro Truck Simulator 2 which wasn’t even a VR game.

HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on… I fucking hated it. I didn’t like standing and gaming. I didn’t like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.

The porn was fun though.

Not a whole lot.

So, yeah. What’s a good Linux distro for stable diffusion and programming?

Now do whatnow!? Are we still doing phrasing? That still a thing?

I got lucky with my wife, but had I known then what I now know of Japanese divorce law, I wouldn’t have rolled those dice. I just hope this means Japan is going to start shared custody when one parent is a foreigner.

Changed it. Thanks.

I’m around the same age as you, and I taught myself front end development. Don’t let anyone say you can’t learn. If you want to make websites, I suggest HTML => CSS => JavaScript => React.js. I recommend learning on Scrimba.com. They have a screen cast system where an actual instructor tells you what to do in plain English with the corresponding code on screen. If you want to see how a change would affect the code, you can pause the cast and run the code yourself.

And if you want to learn back end, a back end programmer suggested learning PHP. Still in high demand in the job market.
