Good lord some of those are spot on.

There’s a lot of men telling on themselves in this thread. And everywhere else too.

…but no one is making this racist except those trying to cause arguments, and those who don’t understand what women are saying.

Yes, if someone said something racist and meant it, they’d be a racist. Women are not doing that.

No, no, no. Don’t you realize? Men are the real victims here! Eyeroll to end all eyerolls

if you’re trolling, I think you’re leaning too far into the stereotype.

PC Spotify -> Schiit Modi -> Schiit Vali 2 -> PreSonus Eris E4.5 speakers.

Or

Pixel 8 Pro Spotify -> “TempoTec Sonata HD PRO” USB DAC -> Meze 99 Classic headphones.

Does anyone think it’s worth moving to Tidal for my music?

Also, I’m running out of space on my desk. I can put the stack of Schiit on top of a speaker with minimal effects, right?

I use a yubikey daily too. I have a USB hub that clamps to the edge of my desk, so I can leave the yubikey in there with no extra mess.

Not this specific one, but you get the general idea: https://www.amazon.com/HYWHUYANG-USB3-1-10Gbps-Computer-Transmission/dp/B0CNKQMXFD/

Check out the keychron site. Multiple keyboards that fit your requirements except the USB hub.

Yes, often. It doesn’t really bother me that much, plus tinnitus generally overwhelms those sounds.

Is DOOM in it?

Don’t give them ideas!

There’s a massive amount of hype right now, much like everything was blockchains for a while.

AI/ML is not able to replace a programmer, especially not a senior engineer. Right now I’d advise you do your job well and hang tight for a couple of years to see how things shake out.

I was going to post exactly that, lol

Darn Tough brand. Expensive but worth it.

Bunch of degenerates are terminally online on an almost anything goes website.

Stormfront and others see the site as ripe for manipulation and recruiting.

Over a decade, 4chan is dragged rightward by concerted effort from various fascist groups.

Manipulation of social media increases into the 2010s, fueled now by governments attacking mostly the USA and Europe.

QAnon gains popularity after others on 4chan fail; CIAnon, FBIAnon, etc etc. Right wing, hateful, insane, or just plain dumb normies all slurp up the conspira-juice.

russian asset becomes president. Incompetently tries to destroy government and nation while stealing as much as possible.

russian asset loses election. Decides to try to destroy the USA a bit more by declaring the election fraudulent without a shred of evidence. Tries hard to get result flipped to republicans for… reasons.

Dumb ex president thinks he can just demand Congress elect him. Holds a rally the same day as the election is certified, tells attendees to “fight for America’s future, let’s march to the Capitol, I’ll be right behind you!”

After they organized partially on 4chan, Enthusiastic chodelet troglodytes storm the Capitol.
