I'm a discontent creator!

Post-apocalyptic scenario where people mostly work in manual labour (e.g. smiths, millers) but use today's work titles as names. No more John Smiths working as customer relations managers, it's John Customer Relations Managers working as smiths

"To prove you aren't a robot, perform this tedious repetitive task without questioning or complaining."

you, marveling at a modern smartphone:
isn't it amazing what we can fit in 6 mm?!

me, brain glowing brighter than the sun:

I'm curious how other fediverse folks are feeling about the ongoing U.S. congressional hearings about Facebook. Thoughts?

Hi,

my name is Andreas, electrical engineer in Germany and i'm working as independent embedded Linux developer and trainer with an emphasis on kernel drivers, realtime and system programming.

In my part-time job i'm working as organic farmer with red deers, bees, pigs, tillage, forest and so on.

My interests are in sustainable technical and/or agricultural systems:
How can we come along with less engergy, raw materials and effort from a wholistic view?

Andreas

I feel like we often don't acknowledge how very strange US grocery store names are. People just think it's normal to shop at a place called Big Bear or Giant Eagle or Piggly Wiggly.

So I used GPT-3 to add to a list of Perfectly Normal grocery stores.

I don't know who needs to hear this advice today, but you're welcome.

in a way. on the internet we're all rats crawling along a washing line. thinking C'mon!!!! one of these socks has gotta be edible!

another way to think about it is this: an infinite number of monkeys typing randomly at an infinite number of typewriters will eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare, sure, but they will never produce a single poem by Rumi or Antar, nor a single line from the Vedas or Confucius.
