People without a family, how are you faring in life?
  • Well, this thread has strengthened my desire to adopt a teen from foster care. I technically have/had a family but they were more like roommates than parents. Left at 18 and never looked back. Had my share of lonely holidays that I would dread when they came around. I'm not trying to say I've had the same story as those here, but I get some parts of it really well. I'm finally at a place where maybe I can prevent that from happening to someone else.

  • New adventuring party just dropped
  • This is the first I'm hearing of this author, but seems like it: wiki

  • @pixelfed: Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated Using #ActivityPub
  • I vaguely remember it being put on hold for some alignment with European privacy laws or something along those lines.

  • Elon Musk says it's his turn to have the remote
  • English is a descriptive language instead of prescriptive, so make it happen!

  • Netflix’s 3 Body Problem Is a Grandiose, Compelling Sci-Fi Yarn You Don’t Want to Miss
  • You're not alone. I tried reading them and the premise was something I could get behind but the way it was written drove me crazy. I agree that if they had a better translator to make it sound more native English, I probably would have been fine with it. Bit as it stands it sounded very Chinese still. I'm hoping the show will solve that problem for us.

  • Commuting across timezones
  • Yeah, given my druthers I'd rather summer time, but that seems unlikely happen any time soon. So honestly, I'll be happy if we no longer have to change clocks twice a year regardless of which we align with.

  • Commuting across timezones
  • Oregon Senate just passed that bill. Here's hoping.

  • Americans, mostly women, are becoming more liberal: Gallup
  • That was my thought when they said X identified as conservative, Y liberal, the rest moderate or unsure.

    How about none of the above since they're all right of center?

  • Hospitalized Texas Democrat Al Green rushed to Capitol for impeachment vote in scrubs, saving Mayorkas
  • Because our whole government operates as if this still the 1800s and the only thing holding us together is the Pony Express.

  • Supreme Court to weigh whether Covid misinformation is protected speech
  • That's a privilege reserved only for Rene Magritte.

  • Microsoft revives aggressive Windows 11 upgrade campaign with intrusive popups for Windows 10 users
  • If you want to dip your toes, go with something easy. Pop_os or Linux Mint are the two most often suggested. Lesser offered but with a Mac OS feel is Elementary.

  • The US economy is doing well. President Biden wants to know why so many Americans are still feeling bad
  • But the the rich people's yacht money economy is doing well!

  • Texas Border Convoy Descends into Antisemitism
  • Old movie reference

  • Masturbation abstinence is popular online. Doctors and therapists are worried
  • I think your answer also explains why they're so angry about white people no longer being the majority. They're scared they'll be treated how they've been treating everyone else.

  • What do you want from a Pixel Watch 3?
  • Why hasn't anyone brought back an e-ink watch? Best watch ever.

  • Sam Altman Says AI Using Too Much Energy, Will Require Breakthrough Energy Source
  • Oh man, I clicked that link really hoping you were going to link to a Dyson Sphere.

  • Content is King? - How it sucked out the joy of personal websites
  • That's why I loved StumbleUpon when it first came out. I discovered so many cool niche things that way.

  • Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud
    www.theverge.com Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud

    You might boot laptops straight into a cloud OS in the future

    Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud

    If this happens, will it be a mass exodus to Linux/Mac? Or will people just live with it? The fact that the Steam Deck has shown great promise in playing games on Linux has made me reconsider Windows yet again.

    I'm just a guy in the #pnw who likes going on adventures, and playing games with friends.

    Three things I love: the Oxford Comma, irony, and missed opportunities.
