well the “new desktop edit mode” was refining the user experience and fixing bugs

I must say it felt weird when I had the first of my staff with a 2000 birthdate, that young falla is now an assistant regional branch manager

But they must only be like 8 years old. What are they doing down loading warez

Someone had to be first…

I’ll get mt coat

I have 3 *BSD vms on proxmox, OpnSense and TrueNAS as well as a GhostBSD desktop for ‘play’. The TrueNAS started as a bare metal install and is now in it’d 3rd 4th server

I also have 2 Macs in the house…

So I guess *BSD is well represented here, looking forward to the read

no, they were our parents, and they never let us youngins (now around 50) forget it

I remember running BeOS back in the early 90s so I guess I’d go with Haiku

I remember them from back in the early 00s

There is a fellow kiwi that debunks conspiracies (mostly flat earth) on youtube that has come out as trans (@Planarwalk). The utter vitriol that has been directed at her since she came out (and a little before as she at that stage tended towards effeminate) has been incredible to see. Trans people must be some of the strongest folk around.

Well that was a rabbit hole

Kaikoura Earthquake

To give some perspective, parts of the Kaikoura cost had 8m vertical displacement and others were displaced 5m north

We felt it some 700km away

You called?

came to say just that

I just wonder how up and downvoting would work since that would go very differently from Lemmy.

how so?

sometimes it is a good reference point though

i think ive seen a few in your age bracket. there seems to be a good amount that must be around the 50+ mark

well for me:

• just passed 50 last month
• been kicking around ‘PCs’ since the vic-20
• buun using linux since Mandrake Helios (6.1)
• have self hosted all sorts (including email for nearly 10 yrs, not any more other than a relay for my lemmy)
• had a mastodon instance for about 2-3 years - but use mastodon.nz
• spun up my instance of lemmy just as the exodus started
• been into tinkering with electronics from childhood

I guess that puts me in the the tech group that seems very common here

other groups that seem well represented are the ‘left’ and lgbqt+

meh, it’s those of us that are entering into our 50’s that drove piracy in the early '90s and '00s. Hell, we were copying floppies in the 80s.

You youngins don’t know how lucky you are, we had to push our bits up hill in both directions, in bare feet and the rain

Not almost cut my thumb off, the fucking thing ached like I don’t know what, espitally while my wife was squeezing my hand during the ceremony.

That was over 25 years ago and the pain was real
