When you’re young you experience the world, when you get older you keep the world working for the young to experience it, and when you’re old you wish you’d made it work better so you could’ve really experienced it.

Not overly much - society has “dysfunctioned” along perfectly well for millennia. It will continue to be dysfunctional for many more millennia.
Better to enjoy your life and spite that dysfunction than to live under its heel.
Yep, that’s just how it is these days. Let me ask though, does it really matter?
If the girls are afraid of the guys, that’s their problem, not yours. Stick the time into something else you enjoy, let nature run it’s course. Find a job you don’t hate, spend your money as you like, live a happy life without the anxiety of rejection.
Wait, people will pay me to code?
Different strokes for different folks - windows 11 does have it’s uses.
Ever since our office laptops “upgraded” they’ve made excellent space heaters during the winter. Open up Teams, a PowerPoint, and a YouTube video and you’ve got a nice toasty office!

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL there is a law called Marchetti's Constant. Humans only tolerate commutes of less than ~1 hour. Housing outside that limit will fail.English
11·4 months agoI do wonder if the limit varies between personally operated transport (walking, bike, car) and public transport (bus, tram, train).
A 1 hour bus journey is much more relaxing than a 1 hour drive.

Thanks for the quote ^_^

15·4 months agoWe are such small and limited things that this is no great surprise. We do not wander through life blind, more we drift through life bereft of senses (and indeed, sense!).
The world we see is an echo of an illusion concocted by crude senses, and guided by a thought process that (while beautiful) is limited in what it can conceive.
Still, like a flower anchored to earth and at the mercy of all around it, we bloom and blossom to the delight of much around us - we play our part in the chaotic heartbeat of all around us.
So it’s not all cosmic apathy and horror, more blissful optimism with a hint of cosmic humour.
Not to mention teachers (it steals our lessons and tutoring work), writers (it steals their work and rehashes it), musicians (music generation is a thing), programmers (so many code snippets, so few coding jobs), and many more.
Not my Latin ;)
If we’re going by carpe jugulum rules - yes.
Philosopher to the right of the mathematician: “You’re welcome for the axioms”
The forehead wrinkles say “nope”.
Shh! Quiet everyone!

I can almost make out the words…

Yep, that was a very much my fantasy. 9 hours of sleep, with an alarm of “stop right there criminal scum”.
Either that or medication!
I abandoned hope long ago when I learned that excel was turing complete.
The darkness has already consumed me, there is no salvation from this sin.
Worse - pulling data from a web page, then using the power of pure jank to parse this input, and then invoking a sheet of reference string builders to construct formulae and execute them using too damn many @indirects nested into vlookups before finally adding in date aware data reveals, because no excel abomination is complete without trying to parse dates.


Clearly they gave every last fuck they could about that code.
