Look at this guy with his less than 2.2TB drive.

You know...I think I may be fine with people who aren't very tech savvy staying off the fediverse. I've haven't had such meaningful conversations in a long time. And it feels like what you say matters. People aren't just here to troll and meme.

It kinda feels like the early Internet before AOL, when it was just a bunch of nerds exploring and building it out...and yes I'm old enough to remember that.

Well yeah, math doesn't exist, we made it all up to describe WTF is happening around us.

We don't want to work to make someone else rich. That doesn't mean we don't want to work. I'm commenting right now using an OS that's developed by thousands who worked on it for free.

Make the work meaningful and fulfilling, and you most likely wont even have to pay someone to do it.

For example, I love to tinker with and repair electronics. I'd probably be more than happy to diagnose a broken Xbox or TV for you once in a while, because I love doing it.

If I have to check a list of sources to make sure what ChatGPT spat out was accurate, why don't I just skip the middleman and make that determination with my own brain? That's what I don't get. Is that a skill that's being lost now or something?
