Welp, it was nice knowing you all.

Oh shit, who knew the Amish had such a presence here and post so frequently?

Thanks, subscribed.

I’m interested to know if this was the case.

Totally secondhand info, but I used to have an ex-Amish friend who told me they often have a small shared outbuilding at the edge of their community that has a phone and a computer with Internet they can use in emergencies. She said some in the community were more liberal about the word ‘emergency’ than others.

(I’m a doofus who literally typed out ‘can any Amish on Lemmy confirm this’ then deleted it, though, so take my words with some salt.)

Hilariously, many of these companies already fired staff because their execs and upper management drank the Flavor-Aid. Now they need to spend even more rehiring in local markets where word has got round.

I’m so sad for them. Look, I’m crying 😂

‘Here’s an idea: let all those around you know your status.’

‘Revolutionary!’

It’s weird we haven’t already done this, but good.

There’s already a codebase for bursting from the ground in an explosion of lava. Everyone wants that.

You’re the first person asking for a scarf, and our system doesn’t even know what a neck is.

Or never let Windows touch anything. There are alternatives. Treat Windows like the virus it is.

Hahahaha relatable.

Oh nice. Just remember to hydrate and get some sleep. It’s so easy to lose hours to that game!

Medieval Dynasty: New Settlement in VR. It’s quite good, though a bit glitchy here and there. Finished the main quest line and am now running my tavern whilst waiting for my baby to be born.

Get extra sauce. The whole point of bread is to carry sauce.

Look, all I’m saying is give Pis a chance.

This cannot be real, wtf. This is cartoon levels of ineptitude.

Or sabotage by someone heading out? Please let this be resistance sabotage they haven’t noticed yet.

You’re right. I forgot about the lawsuit and settlement (for $65m). They’re both frauds.

I knew a Karla, but she was from Romania. Fantastic person. I miss her.

I taught myself programming in the 80s, then worked myself from waitress and line cook to programmer, UXD, and design lead to the point of being in the running for an Apple design award in the 2010s.

But I cared more than anything about making things FOR people. Making like easier. Making people happy. Making software that was a joy to use.

Then I got sick with something that’s neither curable nor easily manageable.

Now I’m destitute and have to choose between medicine and food, and I’m staring down homelessness. (eta I was homeless from age 16-18, and I won’t do that again now, with autoimmune dysautonomia and in my mid-50s, even if the alternative is final.)

Fuck these idiots who bought their way into nerd status (like Musk) or had one hot idea that took off and didn’t have to do anything after (this fucking guy). Hundreds or thousands of designers and programmers made these companies, and were tossed out like trash so a couple of people can be rock stars, making more per hour than most of us will see in a lifetime.

Slay the dragons.

If I’d had to bet whether this was The Onion before clicking this link, someone would be breaking my knees next week.

This timeline is absurd.

A lot of the myths about medieval people were fabricated during the enlightenment and industrial eras to pump up the idea that modern people were so much better than ye olde boorish savages. Much of it is complete BS. People weren’t nearly as backwards and primitive as we’ve been led to believe.

They were hella superstitious, though.
