    An 81-Year-Old Grandma Streaming Minecraft To Pay For Grandson’s Cancer Treatment Has Been Swatted

    Nah, I don't think so.At least not today.

    The posted content is pretty high up on the US-cliché-meter, and I also have blocked the communities that poisoned my "all" view too much with US domestic squabbles.

  • As someone living in a country with an increasing overaging problem (current birthrate per woman: 1,35 children...), I see this happening in realtime, and I can tell you it is really not a good thing.

  • Most people you know are not “millennials”

    Where did I say that?

    I only stated that the Millennials I know are of the pre-1990 type, and these totally exist.(Hello, my beloved Millennial-wife, if you happen to read this! :-) )

  • Yes, especially wars also tend to seriously disturb family planning.

    My grandparents all were around 30 on my fathers side and even older on my mothers side when they became parents.Reason for that: WWII happened...

    Before and after the wars, numbers were significantly different. My mother was nineteen when I was born in the mid 70s. But that also was around the time when that started to change in our country, triggered by the more widespread availability of contraceptives and an increase of women's education level.

  • I am now working at a place in our company that is prime starting point for a lot of university graduates. Most of them were born around 2000 and are now in their mid- to end twenties.So correct, I also know a couple of people born slightly before 2000, did some slight rounding there.

  • I have 4 years left before 40.

    Plenty of time, you are mid 30s still. No reason to panic. ;-)

  • That's just the bloating in your stomach.When you turn 30, you develop this incredibly urge to start eating lots of beans, commonly marking the transition to being an old man with the obligatory old man habits.

  • Reddit Starts Blocking Mobile Website, Pushing Users to App Instead

    Jump

  • Not the first time, they seem to do that like once a year in my experience.On my (Android) device, the recent blocking is already gone again, having lasted about two weeks.

    It is a common strategy: first fix them on, then make life inconvenient for them to push for the next stage (be it app installation, more screen time or paying for stuff).

    Seems like Reddit has moved on to the next "fixing on" stage again.

  • As Gen-X, I can confirm that 30 is far more traumatic than 40.

    I totally agree.

    When turning 40, I had much to much going on (family stuff really taking up speed, buying own flat,...) that I didn't give a shit.

    30 on the other hand, with me still without a long-term partnership and just continuing living my old student bachelor's life, felt like a huge thing, triggering profound eleventh-hour-panic.

    I think that the dates have shifted as typical family foundation has moved from the late teens or early twenties to around 30.This also means that 50 might be the new 40 (A fact that I can confirm by now), marking a new phase in life as 40 maybe did in former times.

  • Most of the Millenials I know have even already the scary 50 approaching from behind.

    But that's some kind of observation bias, as I am GenX and interestingly know almost no people born between 1990 and 2000.

    But I know a bunch of GenZ again who currently look like deer with big, wide open eyes at the approaching headlights of the "30" truck, which imho is much worse than the 40...

  • Well, it recently did correctly point me to a bacterial infection of my money tree plant.Not chlamydia, though ;-)Helped to (hopefully) save the plant and take measures to keep it from spreading to other plants.

  • No.

    AI can be superior to medical doctors in some areas when used for the right purposes / prompted in the right way, that's correct.But I am not in the position nor competent enough to do either.

    I do use it to diagnose the symptoms that my house plants show, though.

  • What are your BEST tech purchases?

    Jump

  • Bought one of the cheap fitness trackers (Xiaomi Band 8) out of curiosity for the step counting.

    Has become one of my most used tech items ever.

    Incredibly useful, not just the fitness tracking (that too, though - probably also actually improved my health).

    Checking messages without taking out the phone, setting timers for all kinds of stuff, an alarm clock that alarms not my wife but just me, remote controlling audio and video playback, and - last but not least - after 20 watch-less years finally being able to tell the time just by looking at the arm again :-)

  • But...Isn't that a good thing?I mean, running an LLM locally is much more private than running it somewhere in the cloud at a provider that gets your raw data, isn't it?All your data stays on your device, while making it much, much harder for Google to argument why it should be uploaded to their data centers.
