I long for the day when they are just normal everywhere. Easily one of the best things to come out of the pandemic and those wild toilet paper shortages.

The only problem with the sentiment of “just don’t use it” is that many of these stores have like one manned checkout vs a dozen sel checkouts. Not about to sit in line with the carts full of stuff when I need to grab two things.

News channels have been using YouTube to upload clips and segments for many many years now. But you probably don’t like YouTube because it’s big bad to folk like you.

It’s not exactly that I’m buying into it disappearing is a foregone conclusion - just that if something doesn’t happen to proactively protect and improve the system, than yeah, it’s in big trouble in the next decade. And my personal bias puts my main concern on the people who rely on it for disability insurance since they are some of the most vulnerable. Of course I want what I paid into it myself later in life, but at least I can see it helping those close to me for some consolation if it doesn’t.

Millennial here and I have a few family members that rely on SSDI so I just like that my contributions support them. I’ll figure things out myself for retirement. But an estimated 7.8 million people rely on SSDI and taking that away from them could very well be death sentences. We have to do better.

I stayed off of Reddit near totally the first month or so and have been visiting it more again lately and there is a definite drop off in quality all over the place.

At least I bought a pool ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Having the standard three and a top center is perfect way to run a dual personal/work PC setup in my experience.

Edge is fine for the most part. I prefer FireFox on my personal devices but Edge does the job for Enterprise pretty well.

Such freedom.

Longcat is longgg.

Same here. I started with Jerboa but it seemed a little rough. Switched to Connect and it’s really improved the experience! Looking forward to trying Sync in the future.

You perfectly describe how it felt on Reddit to comment and what turned me into a lurker after the years went by. Doing my best to be more active on Lemmy to help get this thing growing!

It’s a good idea to check in on this every so often just to make sure your employers are paying their contributions too. I recall some horror stories when this this been posted before.

Really nice breakdown thanks for sharing! Totally reasonable goals to reach too.
