The Technician test isn’t too hard either.

Or get the Baofeng gmrs/frs radios. Cheap license no test.

Ham operators-- ready the pitchforks!!

I’d just like to say

No we all got it about the same time. I misread your question.

I did get the notification. My bad

Yup. During a meeting. That was …fun

Naw. Everything ended earlier today. This is the afterlife. Most of us are still figuring it all out.

You’re not alone in taking a while to adjust. Circadian rhythms are kind of important to proper functioning. One study found that heart attacks increased coinciding with switches to and from DST. Of course this is only one study. Would need quite a few more before I could draw conclusions.

Sounds like something a bigot would say.

A fish rots from the head. Corporate culture all flows from the CEO and board. If a bigoted piece of shit is in charge, this is what you get. Because the top of the company sets and enforces policy. So if they don’t care about bigotry or if they are bigoted themselves, they won’t set or enforce policies to stop it. They will hire bigoted management. Those bigots won’t stop it and probably encourage it. They hire bigoted workers who will persecute others and face no consequences. Those who anti-bigots can report but will be ignored or face retaliation.

FYI there’s a duplicate sentence there:

In the EU in 2021, 70 % of the population lived in a household owning their home, while the remaining 30 % lived in rented housing.

Multiple times since 2016 it has hit home like never before: anything related to freedom and democracy has to be continually fought for. When we stop being vigilant (say from 1974-2015) those that seek money and power above all else chip away at everything until they get it.

That’s not enshittification it is a normal progression of tech to make it useful for a wider audience. Otherwise we would be typing a byte at a time with front panel toggle switches like on a PDP-8.

I think that’s true of any technology that goes mainstream. New tech is evolved to where the end user doesn’t need to know how it works to use it.

Oof. Brings back the memories.

Though it was expensive, my Time Life 80s Music series (CD) was worth it and I still have em all. Thankfully, it wasn’t hard to cancel once I realized I was getting redundant stuff and they would never stop sending CDs as long as I kept paying.

Fellow Gen-X. I’m assuming they’re an ass and that’s about all I need to know.

With cow juice

True but the Mac G4, especially, was an absolute dream to work on. So I don’t agree they remained this way.

Makes me fucking sick and sad. Fuck these women hating backwards assholes.

Just sketch a picture of the screen with clay tablets and ship it to me by carrier pigeon

A psychopath but with a Physics degree?
