Had my first need to do a backup last night for my self-hosted VPS. It was a bit sad I had to, but I was glad it was there. Now I’m trying to figure out how to do it for my microPC-turned-mini-server.

If anything it feels like the purest form of meme for something to be quoted repeatedly like that lol

Given that our positions should absolutely be reversed here, I would either:

A) Continue the ‘today is opposite day’ trend and go find a booth with a retro side scrolling beat em up in it. Preferably TMNT OR B) Go find a non-dancing rhythm game (I absolutely can crush the piano game), or something with an element of RNG to it (casino lite!)

TY!

Yeah I searched for this headline and found nothing.

Just a friendly reminder.

I got very excited by the Satanic Temple when I learned some of the things they were doing to fight this sort of thing. Then I did some research and got disappointed at the infighting.

I almost let that slip by without an upvote, haha

I LOVE your art style!

Walking around during pollen season is always exciting!

I cook for myself usually. Husband is a picky eater and is willing to fend for himself (he generally does meal prep with the handful of things he likes for the week and heats stuff up.) If I am cooking something he does like I’ll cook for us both.

What you’re describing is pretty understandable. But I’ve also been in multi-round interviews where I’m talking to different people but saying the exact same things, which is frustrating.

The ghosting is unfortunate but not new to me, precisely. I should have clarified: when did MULTIPLE interviews start becoming the norm?

Ghosted an applicant I had miss work for three interviews award

Ah there it is.

When the fuck did this start becoming the norm, anyway?

More like “Damn bitch, you live like this?” I get not everyone’s brain is wired the same, but being restricted to my own I just can’t imagine being okay with that lol

Pretty sure there’s been more than one sci-fi novel explaining why this isn’t a great idea.

Slowly getting through this in audiobook form (I tend to only listen when I’m doing chores or something, hence slowly.)

Really enjoying it a lot!

Ayy Kelsie Brumet. I follow her on Patreon, she’s great. Very wholesome comics.

Bearing in mind it came out in 2003? It basically predicted how the rich would try to use AI to replace as many of the working poor as possible. It was incredibly bleak, talking about how as the software and hardware advanced, more and more people’s job’s were destroyed and slowly people were rounded up into government housing projects. If memory serves, it was almost like a prison.

Then the main character/narrator gets to escape to Australia (which is kind of lol but I digress) where they used AI to create a utopian post-scarcity society, and it went over all the way you could use things like brain-interfacing chips to make life easy and wonderful; how people shared what resources they had so everyone had plenty. You could basically 3-D print yourself a house if you wanted.

Seeing how things have developed much more closely to one timeline than the other is very depressing. But it definitely woke me up to thoughts like “Tech is not inherently evil but can be used in very evil ways.” (Which feels like not much of a revelation but I was a teenager then, so it was a shock at the time.)

It wasn’t recent, but I remember being wide-eyed when I read Manna by Marshall Brain. But even then, I knew the optimistic half was very optimistic and… Yeah. Now it depresses me to think about it. In terms of worldview, it made me consider that optimism at least.
