Any pronouns. 33.

Professional developer and amateur gardener located near Atlanta, GA in the USA.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • But what about the coal miners? 🥺 More importantly the coal mine owners, won't somebody please think of them? 🥺

  • I imagine some of them are also just trolls trying to get people in trouble. (Pedophillic trolls, to be clear.) The same way folks just wanna break stuff just to break it. But who fucking knows. Some people are just disgusting and ruin good things.

  • We've got driverless cars and CRISPR gene editing. Those weren't around 20 years ago. You don't think those are major advancements?

  • I feel like y'all are just being contrarian doomers. Listen, I get it. The ruling class of billionaires use technology for nefarious purposes to control us and extract every penny of money they possibly can by selling our attention spans in ever increasing ways. I'm not saying they don't. I'm not saying we live in a utopia. I'm just saying that there have absolutely been a lot of technological improvements in the past 20 years.

    Folks saying "actually PDAs had internet access in the '90s" are, fuck, not even missing the forest for the trees, they're just covering their eyes and refusing to acknowledge that they're surrounded by trees.

    We've got driverless cars. Yes, they're far from perfect, and I wouldn't really say they're adequate, but we do have honest to god driverless cars. Electric ones too! And they aren't just a gimmick, they really do give gas cars a run for their money. 3d printers are a home commodity now much like traditional printers have been in the past. CRISPR lets us modify genes. The idea of watching a 4k video on the Internet in 2006 would've been crazy. AI has improved a lot, and I don't even mean the modern generative AI like LLMs or Stable Diffusion, even prior to that machine learning was a huge thing.

    Relevant XKCD.

    That was released in 2014. You know what I can do now with my phone? I can take a picture of a bird and search to see what kind of bird it is. Reverse image search has been around for a while, but it used to just find things that were mostly pixel for pixel matches. Now it's much more capable.

  • Again, I was a teenager. The TomTom was a gift. Sorry they didn't give me a damn iPhone, I guess? 🙄

  • Why are you being so condescending about this and making so many assumptions about me? I wasn't a "late adopter." I was a teenager. I didn't have a smart phone. I didn't have a "new car in 2010" nor a built in navigation system. I was using a standalone TomTom GPS in highschool in a 1996 Honda Accord. That was 20 years ago. Technology is significantly better now.

  • Saying technology hasn't progressed in 10 years is a very different statement than technology hasn't progressed in 20 years.

  • Dude, take the rose tinted goggles off for a second. I had a GPS navigation system for my car early on, around ~2010, maybe a little earlier, that thing was shit. It could hardly figure out where I was in the city. It would very often snap to the wrong road and I'd have to reboot it. Today, it's simple. I just pull out my magical everything device and use an app. Technology has progressed A TON in 20 years.

  • My phone can literally be used as VR goggles and stream HD video pretty much anywhere in the country. But smart phones existed in 07 and PDAs existed in the 90s. Yeah, no difference between these things. lol.

  • You don't think there's any difference between today's phones and the 2007 ones? Not in cell coverage either?

  • Yeah, my smart phone with Internet access basically everywhere begs to differ.

  • How/why does Microsoft teams exist?

    Jump

  • The AI push right now is crazy. Where I'm working all teams have to show how much they're using AI and where. Rather than being measured on their success they're being measured on how they're doing it.
