I remember when it was like 50%. /s kinda

lol my first thought as well, shit is China making some new, cheap crack?

Why don’t they just call it the loserverse? We need a nice name like that for it, to shame these losers. Manosphere is wayyyyy too nice.

Humm I’m not sure, I thought it was a bit about condoms or something, haha.

I swear there is a George Carlin bit about this but I can’t find it in my super quick search, I heard it on a record when I was like 11 or 12 so it’s possibly my memory is foggy lol.

Tell me about it lol. I’ve got to.

Public infrastructure, community hubs, better regulation of what algorithms can and can’t do, trusted networks, mesh networks, public knowledge bases, chronological timelines, innovation pushed over profit. It’s a tall order.

And here I am pining for that disconnection haha.

Nice try, I thought of the A-team but there’s no girls, there’s some in later seasons but not really a major part.

Probably nothing that made it past one season, the writers eventually will turn to that. Good question, curious.

I guess I would explain it as an agreed upon way of talking to each other, say you decide you want to text, or call, or send a card. A protocol is like that. It’s not the data just the transmission method. A protocol controls the data stream, the hand shaking (when it is OK to start sending data, which port, where to send it). A data packet sent using a protocol is like a letter, with a sender, intended receiver, stamp (signature, key, CRC, etc.).

Haha, well you made it farther than I did, I too liked computers growing up but even though I went and got my A+, Network+, MCSA and all that years and years ago, and then went back to school and got an associates in web development, and then didn’t do anything with that either. OOF. Well good news is now I know why I wasn’t allowing myself to succeed back then, bad news is it’s way too late now for any of that with AI poising to take over everything. I’m kind of glad I didn’t now, kind of, if it wasn’t for the fact I’d actually be financially stable now if I did lol. But life is a journey. I’m actually a bit of a luddite now despite my very early adoption of computers, internet, etc haha. Funny how that works out. Grill sounds great, I love cooking out doors as well, it’s just invigorating :)

AH yeah, I had an older account but I deleted it because I couldn’t resist the urge to make negative comments about the state of things all the time and I’m trying to be more positive so I made a new one. Yeah it’s a bit slow at times but that is kind of refreshing not have to keep up with an endless barrage of stuff ya know.

Sorry, it was a bad day and it appears I took it the wrong way :( I thought you were talking about me personally and not the name as the name was for Don. I’m a bit sensitive atm, apologies too.

Yes I enjoy it here so far, there’s a few hotheads but I guess that can’t be avoided anywhere. People seem genuinely interesting and interested in cool stuff, so it’s really my jam. All that stuff is just so beyond my, interest I guess. I love doing things with computers, making art, editing photos, games, I can make some simple web pages and put them on a host, etc. Fun stuff. Now it’s all… I dunno lol. I never got into phone apps to begin with so I think I was lost from the start. I like computing on a full computer. Honestly any algorithm besides chronological sort is junk to me, like you said it can all be gamed so it’s just all so dumb.

We have some little sparrows that just go in there and motorboat the bird feeder, so there’s plants from the seed growing all over under our feeder haha. No corn though, that is pretty cool!

A few times, about music or movies, someone nicely jumped in to defend a misunderstanding yesterday (ty again). I seem to perpetually have my foot in my mouth which doesn’t help. I should seek out more things that interest me personally and just stay in my lane I guess. Now that I’m more at peace with myself I should let go of the need to have unproductive rants on political threads.

Oh gosh well mine was like $5 then lol. Yeah it really doesn’t seem worth it to me but then I live in a totally different economy I suppose.
