Remember that Everett True is watching you!

The youtube algorithm determined the following: people who watch the kind of videos in your history, are also interested in recording netflix shows. And it was right, because you are in fact interested in that (general) topic. This is another possible explanation.

The last time I bought a Mac was like 10 years ago, at an independent computer shop that specialized in them. The person at the register insisted on getting my personal info “because Apple needed it” but I didn’t want to give it. The person at the register very slowly sauntered up to their manager, had a long discussion, and eventually they figured something out because I suddenly didn’t need to give my info. It was kind of nervewracking because I was paying cash and I was like: what if I hand it over, and they change their mind? It’s not like I could call the cops, I’m the wrong demographic.

Anyway, whenever I thought about getting an Apple system, I remembered that experience and went with something else.

Compare to excavation of the Atari video game burial:

Remnants of E.T. and other Atari games were discovered in the early hours of the excavation, as reported by Microsoft’s Larry Hryb.[48][49] A team of archaeologists was present to examine and document the Atari material unearthed by excavation machinery… Only about 1300 cartridges of the estimated 700,000 were removed from the burial, as the remaining materials were deeper than expected, which made them more difficult to access, according to Alamogordo mayor Susie Galea.[51] The cartridges found were from 59 different games, the majority of which were for the Atari 2600; six were Atari 5200 titles. Atari hardware was also excavated.[52] The burial was refilled following this event.

There is a single insightful line in this whole image:

Your biggest enemy is distractions.

Unfortunately, this image is one of those distractions.

It’s OK dog. The thing is, you figured it out. You’re better off than those that never figured it out. Now you just gotta move on from where you’re at.

Choices - we make them, chances - we take them

Some are mistakes, some we celebrate them

We don’t look back, cause so much we facin

I always stay proud of myself, I’m yelling, “Fuck regret!”

Emo nights are a thing around the US, not sure about the crowd age.

I was expecting to start the batton running, and pass it off to the next idea, or the continuation of the idea.

I think I see what you’re saying. Lemmy is indeed a place where it’s very easy to get involved, and people get involved in different ways. A lot of us just pick a community and start posting regularly. Some of us adopt dormant communities and bring them back to life. Others contribute by becoming mods or admins or setting up their own instances or debugging/coding. Even those people who were giving you reasons why the “transfer your account easily” project was difficult, they were helping you by telling you the challenges involved. Whenever a well-run project is started, you think about the hurdles, risks, and mitigations, then integrate those into your project plan.

I encourage you to keep getting involved. The trick is to find the right level of involvement for you, then sticking with it and seeing it through.

What I do to get around that is: subscribe to communities that are not memes, news, or tech, then read new posts by “subscribed” and “scaled”. When I run out of those, read “all” to find new communities to subscribe to.

RIP waveform.social too.

And I think there was a cyberpunk one… villastarlight or something?

I wouldn’t do version control that way, but I’ve used Word to keep track of what I’m working on during integration tasks. It’s nice because you can drop in code, error messages, and screen captures. E.g.: the tool looks like this: (image) but gives an error like this: (error message) and I think the problem is in file.py around lines XYZ: (code snippet) when I run the command (command used), and I think the answer is in (a couple links I found).

the design is intended to resemble that of a spaceship, in order to give users the feel that they are traveling to the “great beyond”.

Texas and Oklahoma dialect, and I write fluently as well

Obviously fake. Texans don’t read or write.

I’m sorry, but I don’t feel comfortable writing a reply to this comment because the only possible intelligent replies involve profanity or hate speech. Would you prefer a nice cookie recipe instead?

“Snakes on a Plane” had toilet snakes too, didn’t realize it was a trope.

Whoever designed that movie poster is a visual genius.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Somewhere in the past something went wrong.
