Hm. Got tagged on a spam post that just says "hi".

Ah, I didn't know you could @moderation in the conversation.

Lol! Not sure what message you got, but if it's anything like mine, let's test this.

Post the message you got in your company's general Slack channel.

If you get fired, it's a hate message. Else, it's spam.

I've been using Vim for over 10 years. The first few years I used it badly. Later I took time to really learn it. Now I can use it fairly decently, but I still learn new things every now and then.

It feels like a really good investment. It's been around forever, it's gonna be around forever, it's installed on almost all computers, and you're going to be forced to use it at some point or another.

I really enjoy being able to go to any computer and starting up a familiar editor, without installing or configuring stuff. I also use a very vanilla Vim. If a coworker's laptop or some server has a different Vim config than mine, I can usually do vim -u NONE to get back to a familiar place.

Grammy has been giving farmers baths

What's a farmer bath?

Being able to direct my own reccomender system, in order for it to be alligned with my goals and not with my addictive tendencies

AGREE! There are options for controlling the data side of things, Lemmy, Mastodon, Jellyfin, torrents, but I've definitely noticed the recommendation side of things is basically non-existent. What I miss the most from Spotify or Netflix isn't the music or movies, it's the recommendations. There's a ton of content outside the megacorps, but we don't have a good way to find it.

It would be awesome if we had an algorithm that we could control. We could tune it to whatever we want, instead of letting these giant megacorps shove their shit in front of us.

To be fair, OP didn't say he wanted to work more.

How many novel experiences could I have had during that time? How many thought-provoking books could I have read? How many interesting people could I have met?

YouTube stole his time that he wanted to use for more fulfilling activities for him.

If YouTube is fulfilling for you, that's ok. However, OP wanted to do other fun things.

This is great! Thanks!

A MAGA I know told me this is all worth it because he doesn't want his son to know gay people exist and wants revenge on the people who told him he can't say "Merry Christmas" anymore...

I also got mine recently! Definitely agree with the rough around the edges part. This is definitely an artisanal, hand-rolled, music player. It... doesn't seem very durable. Mine rattles when I move it...

I bought it to support open source and because I'm hoping it'll last a long time. (As long as I don't move it too much.)

Lab-grown rocks

When I was getting married a few years ago, I remember thinking fuck real diamonds lab-grown are literally the same thing. I remember getting some push back from some weirdos about how "real" diamonds are some how better or how people will think I'm a cheapskate or how people will feel bad for my wife...

Well, fast forward a few years and literally nobody cares, thinks about, or has said anything negative about my wife's ring. We are both 1000000% happy and satisfied with the decision to buy lab grown.

I have friends and family who work in schools. They've all had to put out statements saying they won't cooperate with immigration to the extent they can.
