Glad I’m not the only one who noticed this as a millennial. Back in the 80s, 90s, and up until around the mid 2000s, technology seemed to make major leaps and bounds into the future every two years. Things were constantly evolving; but ever since HD TV/gaming and Android/iOS hit the scene, it’s like tech stopped evolving and started iterating instead.

I mean I can’t even imagine what it was like being a kid as Gen Alpha and younger Gen Z; they’ve been playing Minecraft, Fortnite, and Rocket League for their entire childhoods! Meanwhile I saw the evolution from 8-bit to 16-bit to 3D to HD, to 4K HDR with Ray Tracing! Every 3-4 months I was playing the newest hot game! The only exception from my childhood was Counter-Strike, and even then, there’s been several CS titles released over the years.

Technology seems to have practically stopped evolving. It’s mind blowing when you think about it. I wonder when we’ll finally hit the limits of die shrinking and enter a technology dark age…?

Don’t sign into Windows with an online account. You can still do offline only accounts and it fixes this problem. The Microsoft Store still works too but IDK why you’d use that.

I vibe coded an autohotkey script to automate most of my job. It works reasonably well, and frees up enough time that I can now get paid to browse the web. The only part I can’t automate with a vibe-coded script is physically moving documents to the scanner, but if I figured out a way to automate that with robotics then my company wouldn’t need me anymore.

Haven’t been following the news? He’s trying to start WWIII in order to stay in power.

My entire job depends on such an app, so this is a bit of a relief.

I don’t. It never returns relevant results. At least DDG/Bing tries to be accurate.

I doubt ICE is even aware of Lemmy’s existence. They’re more likely spending their resources on the major normie platforms like Instagram and Twitter.

Either way, they can swallow my dick & balls and lick my whole asshole clean.

I never understood that joke. What’s an “aar”?

No not the same. Forums didn’t revolve around media, they revolved around discussions.

And I’m 37, thankyouverymuch

You’re literally using social media right now.

Edit: Downvote me all you want, but the fact of the matter is that Lemmy is social media. There’s media on here, and we discuss it in a social setting. Literally the definition of “social media”.
