I enjoyed looking at this on my small screen while listening to something playing on my big screen.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 85 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe the screen itself isn't the point then?

Did people who had to write things for a living ever enjoy books when they got home?

That is deeply amusing. It’s the same instinct..

Not a cellphone in sight, just boomers living in the moment.

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

pretty sure those are not boomers

I bet there still old enough where I could win a fight by going up a few stairs.

When I was younger I loved tech and everything related to computers. Now I am nearly 30, and I hate tech more each day. Not only it's a waste of time, it becomes worse and less user friendly every year, full of nonsensical problems, AI bullshit and overall less control of our devices.

I need to finally buy a fucking bicycle, and spend some more time outdoors, or I will get crazy.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 15 points 1 day ago

I'm older than you but otherwise the same. Seems like everything is going in the wrong direction thanks to corpos trying to wring as much money as possible out of it rather than making it as useful to people as possible.

[–] drathvedro@lemm.ee -1 points 20 hours ago

Just don't make the mistake I've did at buying an electric bicycle. The controllers for the engines are mostly proprietary barely sewn together noname pieces of garbage, that you'd need some bullshit adapters and obscure software to flash settings in.

Also don't dig yourself too deep into cycling. There are good quality bicycles at a cost of a motorcycle or even a used car, and then there's aliexpress specials made of whatever was lying around, but there are very few in-between options. I'd suggest just getting the latter and throwing it out when it breaks or you get bored.

I still love tech but only because I realize that it can actually empower us. The dark patterns that corporations use (for me personally and especially when it comes to customer service) are what ruin it, but maybe I’m still naïve.

[–] hobovision@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Buy 3 bicycles! 1st an electric commuter/cargo bike so you can run errands without a car. 2nd a road/hybrid bike for fun and exercise on paved paths. 3rd a mountain bike so you can enjoy more nature. (an eMTB if they're allowed on your local trails can combine all 3 bikes if you want)

Yes, because doing accounting on paper is the same as reading a book. And listening to your boss is the same as listening to your friends.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And rope bondage play with the wife is the same as tying down loads of sheet metal on the back of delivery truck.

What?

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 2 points 21 hours ago

I knew I should've talked to HR when I was told to "load her up" by my boss!

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Send this to the guy with the blue aliens comic.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Or to Randall Munroe. Oh, wait...

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Nathan W Pyle. That's my first thought as well

[–] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (6 children)

You guys realize there's jobs that don't require constant screen usage right?

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Hisssss! Get away with your poison words! Leave me to my tippy tapping at my special clickety clackety keyboard!

[–] Katzastrophe@feddit.org 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yes, but how will I become a furry in tech otherwise

[–] dan@upvote.au 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Become a network admin and you can stare at blinking lights instead, making sure they don't stop blinking.

[–] umfk@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

What ist a blinking light if not a very low resolution screen?

Yes, but most of them involve constant interaction with people that have forgotten how to interact with people.

Not to be the cliche guy... But trades work was my answer

I abhor interacting with people.. Now I have maybe 4 people to talk to in a whole day. I just do my job and go home

(If you haven't seen Severance yet, get on your big screen and watch it now, you won't regret it)

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I hope season 2 is good

[–] Antiproton@programming.dev 22 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Right, and for some reason replacing "screen" with "paper" makes it somehow not a problem?

woaah look at this score, i don't know the average, but im sure it's above, respect. Consider using horse blinkers, that way you optimize even more that score.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

How about me

Although I might be cheating because I have multiple phones (for work -- I assure you)

[–] underKap@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Yes for work, not at all for meme screening and screenturbation

As a psychiatric nurse, during my work day I watch my screen for about 1 out of 8 hours. When I come home I like to spend some time behind the screen. I sometimes wonder if it is necessary that so many people work behind screens. Shouldn't we get more people to work as nurses, teachers but also craftsman, handyman, etc. This may sound as a naive and romantic thought, and I'm sure a lot of the work behind screens is extremely useful and efficient. But still I wonder if we haven't somehow lost focus of what's important. Like we've started to think that we can solve everything behind the computer, while simultaneously things are falling apart, people are lonely and people in need don't get help.
