Doesn’t matter if he makes it 2 more years. What he’s doing is laying the groundwork for the next dictator to reap what he’s sown.

My conspiracy theory is that AI is already running our tech companies, and that’s why everyone and their brother is pushing hard for AI integration, despite everyone knowing AI is nowhere near ready for public consumption.

Here’s how I approach old and slow:

1. Older software is mature and battle tested. It’s been around long enough that the developers should know what they’re doing, and have built a strong community for help and support.
2. Slow is okay when it comes to accuracy. Would I love to back up my gigabytes (peanuts compared to some of you folks out there with data centers in your attics) in seconds? Yes. But more importantly, I’d rather have my data be valid for if I ever need to do any kind of restore. And I’ve been around the block enough times in my career to see many useless backups.

I’m going to try to replicate as much of Postman as I feel is useful - minus the AI crap and the whole third-party cloud services. I do plan on using iCloud for personal storage, and I’m thinking GitHub for team sharing (admittedly, that feature is a ways off, and I’m open to suggestions).

I’m using SwiftUI to build the app. I think once I get a stable macOS version, I might do an iPad version too.

I’m making my own version of Postman, but with Blackjack and Hookers — and for the Mac.

Beat me to it!

Given the one company that has made the most headway with that is SpaceX, I’ll take my chances right here on earth.

But only for certain classes of people.

My guess is that they are making their own WiFi chip and it’s growing pains.

Thank you for not making me the only person to have immediately gone “there” with that title.

If you are like me and not sure what “post-quantum SSH security” means, you should read this. TL;DR it’s an algorithm believed to be unbreakable by quantum computers.

Codeberg is not just for static websites. It’s for FOSS projects. Their FAQ addresses this.

And I guarantee some organization will figure out how to use this for some police state bullshit.

It is entirely possible to enjoy alcohol in moderation, without even getting drunk, or causing any personal or social problems.

Granted, your experiences may differ, and I do respect that. I only mean to point out that the world is not so black and white, and that there are many varying degrees of grey in between each extreme.

You’re right, Reddit is leaking.

~You’re Reddit if you’re wondering.~

The message is meant to be that you shouldn’t waste your time chasing the perfect healthy lifestyle, because in the end you’re going to die. Instead, do things that you enjoy while you have time to enjoy them right now.

Nothing in the above should suggest to go buck wild and live an unhealthy lifestyle. For example, despite my experience with my dad and his chase for the healthy lifestyle, I too exercise, eat healthier, and drink in moderation. I’m certainly not trying to stave off death (who wants to live forever?). Rather, I’m trying to make the best of the life I have so I can enjoy time with my family.

That’s the point I was trying to make. 😊

My dad lived a healthy lifestyle. Worked out everyday except the weekends; even competed in amateur competitions. He followed all the scientist’s advice and ate what was healthy and stayed away from what wasn’t. Still got Stage 4 cancer and died before his 69th birthday.

Point is: we’re still going to die, no matter how healthy we are. If you want to drink, do it responsibly (don’t drive, or text). Enjoy as much of this shitty life as you can, while you can.

What’s the Lemmy equivalent to Lost Redditor? Lost Lemming?

~I love a good alliteration as much as anybody.~

You’re right. But if I had to pick a why, I’d go with how microwaves at least provide a service for households by heating up food.

AI’s only viable service (at the time of this writing) is a replacement for viagra for techbros when they need to get an erection.

Individually you’re spot on. Your AI use doesn’t matter. But, and this is where companies tend to leave off, when you take into account how many millions (or billions) of times something is done in a day (like AI prompts), then that’s when it genuinely matters.

To me, this is akin to companies trying to pass the blame to consumers when it’s the companies themselves who are the biggest climate offenders.
