I started out with technology in the early 90’s and never stopped. Now starting to get back to my roots.
In the meantime I have owned an IT business, served in the military, wrote a book and a bunch of other stuff.

swade2569@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•South Carolina executes second man by firing squad in 5 weeksEnglish221·3 months agoSeems like a guillotine would be far more humane. No 80 seconds of breathing - man that must be like an eternity of pain.
swade2569@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What did you do as a child that would be considered dangerous today?English11·3 months agoGenX - here’s a few:
Lawn darts. Unsupervised play over 1/4 mile from home at age 8. Unsupervised play over 1/2 mile from home at age 10 with a BB gun. BB guns as paintball weapons. (no eyes were put out). Riding a bicycle to school on a highway shoulder from grade 7-9. Latchkey kid. Going fishing with a neighbor (retired man) as an adolescent for 2-2 summers. (Ps. We fished and talked.)

Nice pic! I’ve always played 10000 with 6 dice.
swade2569@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Democrats consider the unthinkable: It’s time for Biden to goEnglish6·1 year agoBiden would have been better off skipping all the events and say he can’t validate Trump’s candidacy with a debate. He’s a felon and being tried for crimes unbecoming a president. But now it’s all blown up in his face.
I really don’t think the debate changed any minds, but it did energize one side and depress the other. I doubt that energy can be sustained, attention span is very fleeting.

swade2569@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Minnesota Democratic ‘uncommitted’ vote nears 20% in latest Biden rebukeEnglish102·1 year ago“…crisis he can look better at dealing with.” I swear I didn’t have a stroke just now.
swade2569@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Minnesota Democratic ‘uncommitted’ vote nears 20% in latest Biden rebukeEnglish462·1 year agoPretty sure Netanyahu wants Trump re-elected so he’s going to make Biden’s life as difficult as possible. I think Biden loses favor no matter what he does when it comes to Gaza, unless there’s another crisis he can better at good dealing with.
Stay down Meta, stay down.

swade2569@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would changing useragent to chrome cause me problems?English2·2 years agoI’m studying for my Network+ (should have had it a long time ago), and watching a #youtube live stream with a study group. Very laggy and buffering events, even when turning my resolution down to 360p.
I suspected I was being throttled because I was using #Firefox and uBlock.
I opened up #Chrome (no #adblock is added), and watched the same stream. No glitches at all.
Not surprised but quite annoying of course.
I’m going to try a useragent addon and see if it helps.
swade2569@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Russian election candidate calls Ukraine war a ‘big mistake’ by PutinEnglish15·2 years agoI’m guessing he will live until about 6 weeks after losing the election, then have an accident with a 5 story window. Given how long Prigozhin lasted. .
swade2569@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How would you feel if Beehaw left the Fediverse?English5·2 years agoI find that one of the drawbacks to this federated landscape is knowing when to make a new account and where. There. Are. So. Many. Options.
If Lemmy and AP are so limiting why not be part of its development and growth? Development doesn’t seem to happen fast on these platforms, and for good reason. “Move fast and break stuff” is a terrible mantra in my opinion, and I’m glad for things moving more slowly.
In either case I have enjoyed the discussions over there and it would be a shame to see it defederate. Best of luck to you and the team either way.

Shoulda used a beer can for scale. Each flower is about 8” across.
