I know that there is always more that could be done, but did the infrastructure bill, the chips bill, and the inflation reduction act count toward helping the middle class?

figaro@lemdro.idto Technology@beehaw.org•Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCCEnglish10·6 months agoHonestly I don’t mind reasonable data caps. Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.
But with 4k streaming, downloading 100gb game updates on PS5, and YouTube basically constantly on in the background, I’ll hit the 1TB per month comcast limit in like 2 weeks. And that is just me, nevermind having any roommates at all.
1TB just isn’t enough for the modern Internet.

figaro@lemdro.idto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your most profound "small world" moment?English9·9 months agoMet a girl while being an English teacher in China. She was originally from New York. She had a very distinctive voice, very hard to forget.
Fast forward 10 years. I’m at the Santa Monica Pier playing Pokemon Go with my brother. Suddenly, THAT VOICE. I’m like… No… That isn’t possible. I keep on walking.
We reach the end of the pier, and turn around. And BOOM. There she is. We make eye contact, and are both like wtffff.
Turns out she moved there to do a podcast or something.
Anyway cool shit
Give the dude his cupcake recipe yo

When you say “believe in Android” what do you mean?
figaro@lemdro.idto Technology@lemmy.ml•Study Finds That 52 Percent of ChatGPT Answers to Programming Questions Are WrongEnglish11·11 months agoHey! So you may have noticed that you got downvoted into oblivion here. It is because of the unnecessary amount of negativity in your comment.
In communication, there are two parts - how it is delivered, and how it is received. In this interaction, you clearly stated your point: giving yourself the title of pro oftentimes means the person is not a pro.
What they received, however, is far different. They received: ugh this sweaty asshole is gatekeeping coding.
If your goal was to convince this person not to call themselves a pro going forward, this may have been a failed communication event.

Joking lol but serious that it will never happen. Windows has waaay too much of a monopoly for that to never happen.
Like wtf, am I supposed to tell my mom to use the terminal to download ms word? Oh wait sorry you can use libre office! It’s the same but… Well it looks different. And isn’t as functional.
The Fedi is good and all but just … Fucking brace yourself lol

I think for people who have had long distance relationships it kinda is. Like I would say something like that to my ex, but we both knew it was impossible. Sort of a dark humor but you do what you have to do in those situations
figaro@lemdro.idto Open Source@lemmy.ml•What open-source software would you like more people to know about?English91·1 year agoWow that sounds like so much fun.
/S
For real, people should put disclaimers when recommending software like this. “I really like their vision, but installer beware! It is not ready for noobs! Also calling and texting just doesn’t work! Lol good luck!”

Good decision in the long run I suppose
Dang still not working. Oh well ¯\(◉°◉)/¯
Thank you. It’s fine for people here to like these kinds of things, I’m not opposed to that. But be realistic. This will never be the public standard.
