Missed this post since busy yesterday, but I thought I'd add to it.

I'm in my mid-50s. I've always been attracted to electronics/computers/etc. Was customizing my own computer builds from roughly 1990 on, always been into video games. My wife who is ten years younger than me thinks I'm more married to my phone than her.

I mostly play two mobile games that have a "social" aspect to them in that there are teams. In both games, as I've gotten to know some of the details of the team members in both games, and a good half of the 30 in each are over 50. There are several in their 70s, probably 3-4 in each game. There's definitely a social outreach happening with the older generations and these games that I think is perfectly fine and helpful.

And Linux has started including Rust, so...

Are we sure Windows 11 will still be supported by 2030?

So is someone gonna get sued for those two deaths?

Oh darn. My karma points evaporated over the weekend or I'd mod this funny,

Since we're all bitching about various phones and whatnot...

Question to the herd.

I'm running a OnePlus 7T Pro phone. Still works great. Stuck on Android 12. Should I go the LineageOS route for 13 or 14, or get a new phone? And which phone as long as it's not iPhone or Samsung. My past experiences over three phone versions of Samsung have put me off their phones for life, unless proven otherwise.

Its not cops. Its ICE. And they already have been arresting and beating up on dark skinned Americans. There's tons of proof of it, I just can't be arsed to collect it at the moment.

You're not that far off with that toilet camera..

I'm pretty sure we won't be able to avoid this in the next few years.

Glad I'll never be in the market for a home and that I have at least one realtor I trust available to me.

We're spinning in circles around this debate.

I think it's entirely one of economics and career choice. You can have all the children around you want to "promote womenhood" but it makes no difference if the women have zero interest in raising chidren. My wife is an example. She loves kids, will play with them and loves seeing photos and such, but has *zero* interest in raising any. She's always asking for photos of my niece's kid, since that's the only kid in family at the moment and she finds him adorable. She has worked with special needs young adults in an "adult transition" program and has gone back to school to work as a SLPA. She took a summer internship working for a private practice with young children and found it difficult. One of the classes she had this past spring involved working in a classroom with young children. Although they were supposed have special needs children in the class (because thats what the class was about), they were all mostly average children. She found it difficult to connect with them.

As I said, an example. I'm sure we could find an example for every possible point of view on this topic, and we'd all be both right and wrong.

Wow. Total fud and easily debunkable. Its $2500 per seat, for the standard, and $5000 for donor.

Isn't that what the douchebag who bought it wanted to get rid of? So much for that. Oh wait, we know he's a liar like the big orange buffoon.

A data research company did a comprehensive study of a certain type of business model to find out how the generations perceive it and how to make it more interesting and financially attractive. The company I shill for used it to update their business model, but there was a detail in it that shocked everyone. One of the questions they asked was how individuals wanted business materials disseminated. The younger generations wanted physical media. Catalogs, etc. It was the older generations, like us GenX and Boomers that wanted everything digital. I think we'll be surprised to find that maybe, just maybe, hard copies will come back around as the younger generation tires of the digital world and longs for something more real.

You've clearly never walked around Manhattan or any city with massive skyscrapers. This *is* a problem. Hell, there are spots in LA where there aren't skyscrapers and my GPS mapping fails.

I was basically going to come and say something like this. It's really obnoxious how first amendment rights are thoroughly misused/applied these days.
