Same, but without the finesse and the home ownership and such

Yeah it was a trip for me as well to adapt to the new ways. For example it took me a long long time to adjust to allowing the computer to manage the multitasking for me. I would habitually always close out programs I wasn’t using, because I felt deeply from my decades of experience that running tons of things at once would cause many issues.

I was very uncomfortable letting all these “active” programs pile up, but it really turned out to be all good. The computers are designed to be used this way. And really, I’m better off for it, not having to go in and micromanage everything constantly.

What I’m trying to say is that learning is not something that is ever finished, you know? There came a day when we stopped defragmenting our hard drives, and now the day has arrived where the computer utilizes all the ram all the time

That’s normal for these computers. Idea being it doesn’t really benefit you to have a ton of empty ram sitting around waiting to be used. So the OS makes no effort to clear it out until the space is needed.

If you believe their marketing it’s actually doing the opposite, and preemptively loading stuff into ram in order to make your common tasks feel as snappy as possible. But yeah either way you’ll notice the memory is always “full”, but you never seem run out

Google has been rolling out a thing where an AI result is the first thing that pops up, often taking up the whole screen lol. I’ve personally witnessed tons of people google something normally, then just go with whatever the AI says.

Makes me shake my head, but it’s not like they were very discerning with their sources before all this nonsense, either. Hopefully they don’t rely on it for any important medical advice down the road

It’s a reference to how relentless phone scammers can be. The joke being that they would go to extreme lengths to reach you. Other similar memes might feature a message in a bottle reaching you while you are stranded on a deserted island, or a brick with the same message thrown through your window at night

Macs are like uncannily good at real-time audio processing, also audio and MIDI routing in general has less friction. Less tinkering in general when connecting external synths

Like with anything you can find tons of people online who have no issues with their windows based production setup, YMMV. But macs are ubiquitous in the music space, from my experience I think it’s deserved

What did you do on the platform out of curiosity? I felt similarly when I left other social medias.

Discord I mainly use to keep an eye on early access games and dev updates, and occasionally ask or answer questions. Although I did get into it after deleting other social media so I may be subconsciously avoiding the more toxic parts of the experience

Possibly they can’t be made thicker due to the cooking process?

Absolute tragedy tbh, discord won’t be around forever. I weep for all the game knowledge that will be lost

It builds character! Lol but, yeah phasmo is too intense for many of my adult friends, even.

Out of curiosity, do you generally know what he was doing on Roblox? I’ve heard of several horror games being remade within Roblox, such as Iron Lung. I’ve wondered what the limitations are. I definitely remember stumbling into some intense things when I was around that age, but the landscape is so different now

My squad has been addicted to Phasmophobia since Halloween, no microtransactions in sight!

What’s the calorie need differential between an ectomorph and an endomorph?

None. Somatotypes are a pseudoscience and have been completely debunked.

What role does hormone and thyroid play?

The difference between the “fastest” and “slowest” metabolism in healthy people of the same weight is at most 300kcal per day, which is significant, but couldn’t account for a missing ~3k surplus per day

There are however several conditions which cause the body to simply not to process food (malabsorption is the term to look up), which is what must have been happening to you.

It’s very common for people to misestimate their calories by massive amounts, which is why people are expressing doubts, but what you’re describing is a real thing that happens

Dms take a couple extra taps, and I wish we had the option still to swipe right to quickly see who is online.

But the search menu is VASTLY improved, and I like the design in general. I’m hoping we get a few tweaks and then it will be perfect

I want cheese on my hands

45 million billion tonnes of salt.

Reminds me of when my roommate got really into league of legends

Eh, it’s always a gamble if you make a joke or reference to something. Reddit was the same way. Even if it’s well received in general there will be people who don’t get it “correcting” you in the comments. Just gotta keep trucking and trust that your target audience knows what you’re talking about.

I liked your comment fwiw. The whole concept here is sticking with what you know despite it being outdated, which many now understand to be a “boomer” trait regardless of someone’s birth year

Just make sure they’re clean!

We all agree for ice gree

Like that episode of myth busters where they fired a canon backwards out of a moving vehicle

If we act like them, we are influenced by them.

If we act entirely unlike them, we are also influenced by them
