It took me. 12 minutes of clicking through websites yesterday to get the heat and time settings for making potato chips in the air fryer. I used to be able to just ask the Google Assistant.

I’m glad I saw this post cuz I was going to gaslighting myself over the whole thing. It really is getting way worse, isn’t it…

What search engine alternatives do y’all use?

Just my experience, I work in tech as a millennial with some boomers many gen X many millennials and now some Gen Z. From all those people it seems to me the gen Z people are the most proficient with technology.

Why you got some kinda stat that’s gonna blow my mind?

As a younger millennial it surprises me how little others seem to get the generation divide here. Personal computers and keyboards were very common for millennials to grow up with in the house, but I think more and more people these days don’t use desktops or laptops that often most people stick with tablets and smartphones. Gen z probably doesn’t have the same keyboard skills as millennials because of that, but on average they are definitely better with tech than we are. Their typing skills are just on phone keyboards lol. Just my 2 cents

I mean you give enough of a shit to comment twice so 🤷‍♂️

I don’t think a multibillionaire is just a celebrity. The companies he owns and the power he has there aside, he also controls many politicians through lobbying deals.

I feel you on missing the days of the old web so I think you should know it’s tech billionaires like musk who have destroyed it. Whether through their direct control over platforms like Twitter or by how they have regulated the web through lobbying of our politicians.

I think he’s just a hypocrite who will say anything and contradict it when it’s better for him.

Have you ever seen his trans daughter who he disowned for being trans talk about him? He’s not a good dude. For years when I first heard of him I was tricked too. Look into him some more man. He’s a piece of shit.

Here’s some reasons:

Taking credit for other people 's work. I don’t think he actually founded any of the companies he owns besides the boring company. That hasn’t done anything right? Lol

Having emotional temper tantrums where he tries to ruin people’s lives, for example that diver he called a pedophile for no reason.

Again his hypocrisy around his political beliefs. For example how he champions “Free speech” but also will censor words like ‘cis’. It’s clear to me and many others that “free speech” to Elon just means people are free to say what Elon wants.

Thank you for taking the time to thoughtfully reply. That’s good advice I’ll put it to good use. Thanks again.☺️

Hell yeah! Good for you dude.

Honestly I’ve been thinking about at least cutting beef and pork out but it’s tough. Any tips?

They use Lemmy

If you think Trump’s the kind of person who does things for reasons I don’t know what to tell you dude

On the one hand I’ve been thinking about leaving the country. I really don’t think Canada is a safe move. Especially because it’s the first thought for so many left wing Americans and it’s so close. I also don’t think it’s inconceivable that a more dictitorual Trump ends up invading Canada…I’ve been thinking about trying to live in Vietnam myself… I figure if they can keep the USA out then international politics isn’t something id have to worry about to much there. They’re actual leftists and the money I have here should stretch even farther there to help the transition. I’ve also tried to talk a few friends into coming along with me if it goes bad we’ll see how that works I’m going to try to get 15ish friends to agree hopefully at least a few will follow through.

The other side of my mind thinks that’s extreme and doesn’t want to leave. That side does think that getting some rice and beans one of those giant rechargeable batteries with solar panels is a good idea though.

Yes I’m terrified! Honestly I’m thinking about moving to Vietnam. One it’s socialist and check with my username I’m into that lol. Also like America is the world hegemon if it starts going after everybody or World War 3 breaks out I can’t think of a safer place to be the Vietnam.

This may seem dramatic and hopefully it is but I don’t think it is. Democrats won’t use this power it or actually curtail it and as soon as another republican wins office this country will go full mask off fascist so fast. Honestly the mask might be off now. This frogs been boiled so long she’s not sure if she’s dead yet.
