Almost all big tech companies are run by assholes chasing profit by exploiting users.
The people who vocally bemoan big tech are the ones who are banned from the platforms for encouraging violence, hate, and misinformation, then claim censorship. Those individuals are also assholes.
Normal people use Facebook, Google, Twitter, and whatever else and generally don’t think about the people behind the service. They’re the ones who are exploited for profit, but I don’t think they worship big tech.
The tech folks who care are moving to federated and/or privacy focused services like Lemmy and DuckDuckGo. But normal users won’t be here for a long time, if ever.
I've been weightlifting at the gym with my brother at least 2-3 days a week for the last 2 months. I recently noticed a week or so ago, after my workouts, the soreness has decreased in the days following, tremendously. No longer am I walking around with locked knees because my legs are going to give out, or with T-rex arms...
I’ve been lifting 2-3x per week for a few years now. First it’s intimidating. Then it’s exciting and builds confidence.
But after a while it becomes routine. I don’t think about it much- it’s a thing I do, just like doing the dishes and laundry, as a part of my week that keeps my life on track.
I’ll admit my goals may be different- I don’t generally max out weight, and my goal is to maintain or slowly build muscle for other tennis, rock climbing, and overall aging well. But I’m able to do those things because gym time and building strength is as important as clean clothes and a clean kitchen.
Does anyone here do their gaming on an SBC or hardware emulation machine? I’m considering trying to start an instance for these machines and am curious if there’s much desire
I’m really into these machines, particularly Anbernic and Retroid. I’m already in the linked group and on the Retro Handhelds Discord. Hoping to see content here!
It’d be nice, but honestly, it’s a lot of infrastructure and our traffic patterns don’t really require it. A bus or a shuttle wouldn’t take very long and costs a lot less to build and maintain.
I think more than anything we need better use of our bus and shuttle system. Maybe some electric busses.
In theory, I completely agree. In practice, the idea of a surgeon operating on myself or a loved one, with a headset strapped to their face and observing everything through a series of cameras, is terrifying.
I’m not sure how long it’ll be before the public trust is present in technology like this to the point that’ll be okay. I think we’ll get there, but not with the first generation.
Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
I was just browsing a thread on c/nfl looking for new mods. There were multiple 12+ year Redditors there offering to help....
