I work in logistics. I’ve always had a fascination with tech, and was leery of all these neato things on offer from big tech, from social media to the cloud.

Found out I could self-host, and got to learning.

I hate listening to my younger brother talk about technology. He is just a sheep in an apple pen, and perfectly happy. I don’t get it.

Lol they denied my application. Nice.

Edit: it was my own carelessness. Damn.

Having trouble verifying my email. Gonna see if it works without VPN.

Now you’ve really piqued my interest. This may be the winner.

That’s my next stop after this contract runs out.

I appreciate that.

World seems to be blocking NordVPN. Recommend another instance?

World and NordVPN. Recommend another instance?

I just found out that Lemmy is not allowing (or has rate-limited, or whatever) VPN connections to post or react.

Not a fan of that at all.

Edit: it’s my instance being on Cloudflare, not Lemmy as a whole. My mistake.

Good. Internet people are awful at political discussions.

Oh no, it was everywhere, and I got into some decent arguments with those lovely people who ask you to show them how it’s going to have any effect on the fediverse at all, complete with citations.

WeLl hOw Do YoU KnOw?

For being a complete douche.

What looks good about the economy, out of curiosity.

Semi truck for a company known for something else. Private fleet.

And honestly? I’m tired of being gaslit by both sides. Fuck you all.

I also drive for a living, and boy is it slow out there.

And ohhhh, you think I’m a solipsist because I used personal experience to back up my claims. Cool.

That’s what’s going on in reality, though. Try touching some grass rather than believing what you see on a screen.

It’s fascinating, how the media tries to prop up their “side” despite the obvious reality.

Fox News praising Trump during COVID (which he absolutely blundered), and now the left media saying we have a great economy when me and all my friends are slow at work. So slow it’s concerning.

…didn’t have to be the mouth. I’m still impressed.

Fish or rhythm section?
