  • What will the world look like in the next 10.000 years

  • Hothouse Earth leading to extinction event. Likely no humans and little other life. If Earth is lucky, it might cool down eventually and another chance at life will occur.

  • Bluesky’s active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app: 10.4 million monthly active users worldwide in June 2026, down 27.2% year-over-year.

  • Yes! BlueSky is an echo chamber!

  • All social media platforms are echo chambers. Those who enjoy the conversation stay, those who dont leave. The top talkers of each platform set the narrative. Mods help boost them by hiding content they don't like, which becomes a reinforcing loop.

    Sounds like I touched a nerve here while just stating a fact.

  • Because BlueSky is an echo chamber.

  • Why Is Everyone In Tech So Sad?

  • This is more or less how I feel as well. I yearn for something that I feel proud of again, yet feel held hostage by a salary. To add on to this...

    I spent years studying and learning to be good at what I do. It feels like with the advent of agents, I'm suddenly less useful than I was before. Colleagues who were juniors (IC1 or IC2) are being up-leveled to staff simply because they started regurgitating agent output - essentially being meat proxies. They barely understand what they are saying and don't hold up to scrutiny when I ask them questions in voice calls. They can't answer without prompting an AI. It's frustrating to no end. I thought I was having a mid-life crisis, but it's the industry that changed.

    Now I am trying to pull back and go offline when I'm not on the clock. If there is no difference between knowledge that is hard earned through study, exams, or degrees, and all it takes is to be a meat proxy, what is my motivation to improve my technical skills for a profession?

  • Questioning the legitimacy images you share gets tiring

    Jump

  • All I have is GIMP and it is like wanting a tricycle but getting a rocket ship

  • Selfhosting as a Linux newbie - Ubuntu Server LTS or Debian 13?

    Jump

  • Both are viable. Ubuntu is based on Debian. It may come with some additional bloat. Really it comes down to what you feel comfortable with. Neither will be a bad choice.

  • AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

    Jump

  • This makes me tear up a bit. All those lost books...

  • Is hiring occuring again?

    Jump

  • I have been getting recruiters from Amazon and Meta soliciting a lot lately for networking roles, but both of those companies are trash. Most likely it is just a quota for the recruiters and was sent with AI, so I don't bother to respond.

  • How often do you admit you were wrong?

    Jump

  • When I am wrong and there is evidence?

    It makes sense to me, because you learned something.

  • And then never using consumables, because what if you need them later?

    Jump

  • Struggling through Fallout Tactics right now and having to use the lockers they provide in each bunker, then moving all my ammo/healing/weapons to the next bunker. I CAN'T CARRY EVERYTHING DAMNIT!

  • TIL about the "Aroma of Tacoma"

    Jump

  • When I visit Tacoma it's for the McMenamins Elk's Temple. Shows in the basement, food in one of the restaurants.

  • Elon Musk Is Charging Starlink Customers Gigantic Bogus Fees Because Its Network Is Being Crushed by “High Demand”

    Jump

  • If you can traffic shape cell network data, thats not much different. Everyone has to BGP peer with another network to provide connectivity to other networks. I guess its just where do you prioritize one type of customer traffic over another

  • Netflix Viewers Are Abandoning Shows After One Season

  • No

  • What's the worst part about getting older that young people don't know about?

  • I have heard this as well. Hitting 42 this year and feeling less youthful than I did in years past...
