If you are in the situation where time is more precious than money and you’d still like to help, consider looking into organizations that can work on your behalf. The eff has always been dear to my heart, but there are manyhttps://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/11/2024-us-election-over-eff-ready-whats-next

@futurebird never reply. Best case your phone is recorded as an active line and resold to other scammers.

@stux I used to work at a domain registrar and the proliferation of TLDs seems so unreasonable to me.I’d rather stick with the TLDs that we already have and use nonsensical domain names…. Like mine. Cough. yttrx 😅

@gnomon @cks @nev hahahaha I’m rooting for you!!When I interviewed for my current job I did the programming solution in Perl.“I don’t think that’s valid syntax” the interviewer said 🥲

@futurebird in highschool (mid 90s) I had a business class elective that was effectively how to simulate balancing a budget as a small business.Part of the class involved maintaining a balance book. Each class we’d receive income receipts and have to pay bills and taxes.I don’t know how relevant it was but it was a lot of fun as a 16yo

@strypey idk the article was quite fair in its representation of the state of blue sky and how decentralized that network currently is.

I love the form factor of my iPhone 13 mini, but I don’t love its battery life. If I’m out all day or will be out in the night, I need to also carry a battery pack.I think I’ll keep my 13 mini with an active mobile service but get the 17 pro as my daily driver.This’ll allow me to keep my 13 mini for running errands when I don’t want a bulky device, but otherwise I can have a nice bigger screen and big battery.I’ll have my cake and eat it too please.

@mmeier I also remember wrapping my head around that nuance. I recall thinking "ok, but what about the c drive"I love these recollections of our previous selves' understanding. It's a nice insight into our learning patterns and a fun little walk down memory lane.Thank you for sharing this one!
