I wish this weren't so accurate. But I was laid off 6 months ago and I'm still looking despite having 6 years in SW-dev. That's not the case for everybody, of course, but it's a rough outlook for a lot of us in tech.

Only real advice I've got for OP: surround yourself with a good support network.

Well...

You never call, you never write! ... You're the nastiest dirtbag I know in this stinking city! ... If you don't wanna talk to your mother, just avoid me like usual, huh?

I'd make a few loose fishing line webs / a bunch of fishing line streamers. Line should be too fine for the drones camera to detect, but its propellers will hit the line and instantly gum it up. Just make sure your traps are only on your property. Bonus points ir the web, having caught a drone, can be reeled in from afar.

Frogs in pots... And the reddit communities that people liked were still active once the protest was bashes down. Reddit nixed and replaced every mod that continued protesting in their subs.

Well then I'm one of the special few. 🤓

Beyond that, there were a bunch of people watching and posting upticking Lemmy usage stats. I recall it being tens of thousands (mainly joining Lemmy.world), but those who stuck around was much smaller. Unfortunately when I joined, the messaging around Lemmy & federation was poor and there were a lot of ghost-town communities.

No, in US labeling, it's all a rounding scheme designed to hide the facts thanks to junk food lobbyists.

"amounts less than 5 calories may be expressed as zero." [Within whatever arbitrary(!!!) serving size the company elects to use for their junk.] So they just pick a serving size that, for instance would be 4 (k)cal, and then call it zero across the board to suit their desire to obfuscate the truth.

Not to mention, what they call a calorie is really a kilocalorie.
