“Popular” doesn’t mean worthwhile.

But you not liking something doesn't make it unworthwhile. There are plenty of people who do like it, and it's worthwhile to them.

I'm one of them. Stop trying to force your opinions on me.

My dude, you don’t have to post it.

My dude, you don't have to read it.

If you don't like what post, then you don't have to click on the links. Me posting stuff I find interesting doesn't negatively affect your life at all.

If you're unhappy with the news I post, feel free to post your own links. You can do it just as easily as i can.

The sites I post from are extremely popular have have tons of readers. If they are so bad, then how come they are so popular? Because not everyone has your same fucking opinion. Get over yourself.

For fucks sake, learn some internet literacy.

Conservatives and deeply questionable sources; is there any more iconic combination?

You don't have to listen to either one. Feel free not to click on the article.

Yep! I remember seeing an ad in Omni magazine that showed someone sitting at a computer. And in big bold print it said, "Imagine being able to read the news with just a few clicks of a keyboard!" Then going on to say someday that may happen.

And boy did it ever. But what's so funny that ad seemed so futuristic and cool. Now we do it from our pocket. Crazy.

I still have that magazine by the way. I should dig it out and scan that ad!

A/S/L

I legit got laid doing that in aol chatrooms. One girl I ended up dating for 4 years. Met her in aol chat room. Started with a/s/l. Met her at the food court in the mall. Kissed her at her car. She moved in with me a month later.

Good times. I ended up being clever as fuck in chat. Thankfully women like humor and wit more than looks. It's the only reason I got laid then and the only reason I get laid now. haha

As someone pointed out, this turned out to be a rendering.

I remember a programming course in the summer that left an impression, though I foolishly never pursued it further.

Yep, even tho I do ok and I'm retired, I definitely wish that I had kept pursing it. I actually enjoyed programming in my BASIC class in school. But for some reason, it just never clicked with me that I could do it as a job.

I would be way wealthier if I had pursued it. I have no excuse. It literally just never occurred to me that I could do it as a job.

I grew up in a very rural town, population less that 2,000 people.

Now that I retired early and collect a pension, I am looking to pick up where I left off. Just for fun. :)

Trying to install linux on my PC today as a matter of fact.

You know, I was starting to wonder if it was a render. It all looks good, but the lamp kept throwing me off. It's the part that looks rendered to me. Thanks for the catch!

Yeah, I can definitely see myself going down the same path as you. lol

 
 

It was so fun back then. Not the yelling and moaning we have going on today.

Here on Lemmy, even in non-political discussions some is always whining about the current president or whatever.

Or calling for alt voices to be banned.

Back in the 80's computer stuff and conversation was more fun and not so freakin' political.

It was about games, DYI, trying to learn to hack, learning the new tech. It was awesome!

I was part of it, but not as much as I could have been because I was in a small town and couldn't afford a lot. But I def had a foot in the scene, and it was awesome!
