Fair enough, glad you're here!

IT folks are exactly the people who will be early adoptors of technology. If lemmy can start growing to something approaching an early majority, then we'll see a big shift in the demographic of the user base. Unfortunately, that's a huge gap in expansion.

Didn't want to put too many details in the question for privacy sake. Knew a guy with your name in college, was curious if you were the same. Have a great day!

You wouldn't happen to be Burke from CS, would you?

Likely durability and portability. Think of it as something they use month over month and just mark the day with something like a string band. Bone would be light enough to keep with you, strong enough to not break, and common enough to be available for household use.

There's an app called tasker that let's you set up some pretty deep automation on your phone. I've used this a set up a grey list on my phone.

If a call comes in from a saved contact, all is normal. If it's an unsaved number though, it doesn't ring and goes to voicemail as if I just didn't answer at all. If, however, they call back within two minutes, it will ring as per normal and I then know it's, likely, someone who actually needs me.

I set this up because my phone number gets passed around at work quite a bit. If someone really needs me, I always figure they'll call more than once or text after a missed call.

I hope not, because that ruins my plan.

At the same time as my wife after my daughter has established herself and no longer needs us. I don't want to be here, but they need me right now. As soon as they don't, I'm out.

My exact thoughts. Give me this choice at 19 or 20, sure I'll restart. Now though, the money would just be nice to provide security to the most valuable thing - my girls.

Same, was always a Kim stan.

Absolutely agree. I totally get the idea of federated content and letting people make their own decisions, but the higher the barrier of entry, the less mainstream the fediverse will be. Especially right now, people are going to want an easy replacement for reddit, not learn a fundamentally new system that is still in the early adoption phase by tech people.

Thought about it, but I never really posted at all so there's not much to poison. I may end up running a script that edits all of my comments to something redirecting them here, but Idk if I have the motivation to do so anytime soon.
