Please tell me that you have nine cats…
1984 is tame compared to what we have now.
The current situation with automated systems learning every little secret about pur lives, sometimes even before we know it ourselves, based on the trends on our searches, our messages, hell even just the shift in tone of our messages, our location history and more.
1984 is no longer the horrible future, it is the good old days when surveilence didn’t go as far.
That is different though, the Reddit hug of death as a concept doesn’t have any malicious intent.
Yeah, that is my take on it as well, and we should call that bump in traffic the “Lemmy hello”.
Since we are still fairly small, I think we should adopt the “Lemmy hello” as a friendly way of talking about when Lemmings rush over to a link.
It might generate a bump in traffic, but that is just the Lemmy hello.
We had libraries and librarians, the library was an amazing place, soo, soo many books, and you could take them home for a few weeks, for free!
And if you had trouble finding something a librarian could help you find the book you where looking for.
Libraries are still fantastic, but have lost a lot of it’s magic since smartphones became a thing.
I can absolutely see ot being useful for companies and other organisations
Swede here, first of all, we don’t have socialism here, we have a social democratic system here.
Secondly, the words socialism/communism have been tarnished over decades in the US, people have been taught to immediately reject those words regardless of their context.
So if the US can ever get a social democratic system, it needs a rebrand.
It needs something like “The Great America Deal”
I just grabbed Retroarch from the Appstore…
I do however need a controller for my iPhone…

Sorry, I should have said that the broadcast was done and I finally got food
Oh the broadcast was fine! And I am on my way to the food now!
I am an IT guy with an interest in AV technology, so I was asked and accepted to handle the technology as I had some knowledge and understanding of it.
My employer is not a media company, it is a company in a completely different sector that has a media production department and produce videos as part of our brand/company values.
My task is to keep the equipment setup when we are running live broadcasts.
I am an IT guy with an interest inphorography and av technology, I helped set up the camera and then they started the broadcast without me having time to get out.
This is a small studio in an office that has an insulated door, but is located next to the kitchen, so if I open the door it will make noise.
The suido is not fully working at the moment so we use a Logitech meetup unit with a sensitive mic at the moment.
We have a full setup with a good camera , wireless mics, video switcher, lights, but that is not working amazingly at the moment.
Good idea on the book I have a series on my phone.
Right now:
iPhone 12 Mini 128GB iPhone 15 128GB
Keys to work, apartment, attic storage and laundry room.
Wallet with debit card, public transport card, driving license, public pool membership card (expired several years ago), European health insurance card, eyeglass perscription.
If I didn’t work here, I would, but I do and I don’t want to be fired.
