Honestly? The kids and their pesky iPhones.
“Now” is relative, right?
I’m 60, and the list is long, but I read /r/Teachers and seriously don’t get what’s going on in public schools now. I can say that public school was CERTAINLY better when I was a kid. Grades mattered, kids got held back (and other kids shamed them for it), no eating in class, turn your assignments in on time, stay in your seat, pay attention, and shut up. Apparently, none of that applies now?
And, don’t try to say “it’s Covid”. Yeah, it’s gotten a little worse since then, but this shit has been increasing since long before five years ago. Also, yeah, “parents”, but schools traditionally have been the place where kids got an education in spite of how dumb their parents were, that was the fucking point.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s a cloud outside my window that needs a dressing down.
54 and just this year my neck has started to look stringy, especially in bright sunlight. Ugh. At least I can manually fix the hairy ears.
There’s too much automation and it’s not only making people dumber but causes more expensive problems.
Brunch and Tea not breakfast, lunch and supper. Fucking love eating at 4 pm. What the heck? I still have to make supper for everyone else on weekdays but those 9pm meals are not my preference anymore, on weekends it’s late breakfast and the teatime meal and that’s it.
Me as a kid “Man, those grownups who don’t like kids are evil people. I’ll never become one of them.”
Me 30 years later: “Goddammit.”
“I used to be ‘with it’, then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’, and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary to me”

Sounds like a speed-run of living to be 100.
Making noises when sitting down or getting up, as if it was an effort to do it. :)
Im not doing it yet but it will probably come in a while.
You’re a grownup when you groan when you get up.
It was around 2016, I was about 25, and I went camping with some friends for a few days.
Up until that point, I felt like I had managed to stay relatively “with-it”
But we had little to no Internet access for a few days, because that’s how camping works.
I came back and dat boi was all over the internet.
I had no idea what was going on with that meme, it never quite clicked for me
And from there it was all downhill, more and more new memes just stopped making sense to me.
That’s the best part of getting older. 6,7? Don’t know Don’t care
Hemorrhoids.
These youngunns and their docker containers…
depends on your job role but for my job we have 1 project that’s not containerized and each time we have issues with it I want to crush my fucking balls
containerization is incredibly wasteful but it does solve some problems
How is it wasteful?
like flatpak. when you don’t build all your containers on the same base image and shared layers, then you’ll store lots of slightly different versions of the same libraries and other files, both on disk, and then in memory
I see. I was more thinking in terms of CPU/RAM resources where it’s far cheaper to just run a single process instead of a VM for it, etc.
but containerization does not use VMs. containers share the same kernel, but userspace and resources are separated with namespaces. it has a very little overhead
All of ours are containerised, but you can’t even dev in it because zscaler.
I was the same and then I rebuilt a server that originally took me forever to get up and running with all it’s weird requirements and had it going in docker in like 30 minutes with my old settings imported in.
I still compartmentalize individual programs into their own VM/CTs though, even when using docker.
Still have no idea how to package one together myself though.
Can’t code without a mouse. What the fuck does a mouse have to do with code! If I want to shoot nazis, I’ll go plug my mouse in.
It takes ages to recover from a bike ride… I’m too old for this shit now.
Also, life experience allows me to flag marketing bullshit easier and that make me want less and less tech
Any sport injuries or faceplant that would have been a mild 2 day annoyance in your 20 is now a permanent damage you can still feel after 3 months or more.
I need to hold my phone further and further away for the letters to not be blurry
Some of them I have given up on 🤦
If this is Android, you might investigate Settings->Display & brightness->Font and try sliding the Font size slider there.
67 did it for me. I tried to understand it and reflexivity said “well that’s fucking dumb” before realizing that’s literally the point. And we’ve all done anti-authority shit at some point. This random act of nothing is what a constantly surveilled generation does to elicit a reaction against a system that has proven it can ignore everyone.
I keep thinking of 67 as a cargo cult meme. You see the older gens making in jokes that just appear to be random words (when your not in on it.) So why not just take a random number and do the same?
