Yeah but hey, that finger doesn’t bleed!

That’s pretty fuckin cool. I’m an electrician, I could absolutely use an extra thumb sometimes. By the time this stuff hits the market I intend to afford one lol. Robot digits and limbs! No surgery or wifi required!

Oh 100%. I don’t have dysphoria but think of myself as NB anyway. I’m comfortable in my body but I’m certainly curious. If transitioning weren’t as difficult and costly? Yeah totally let’s see what girl me looks like. I think I’d be fairly hot as a girl haha

In The Culture series by Iain Banks, gene modification is so advanced people can will themselves to change sex without surgery over I think some months. The process is so effective procreation is possible - one character, a male, loved being pregnant. So he’d transition, have a baby, and go back to being male every couple years. And it’s just super normal. In fact, people who never change sexes are viewed as odd.

Sigh

Hell yeah. I’ve got a “manlier” job than most people and I love smelling good. My wife and I share shampoo and I’ve used her body wash plenty.

Toxic roommate can @ me as I sit in my personal work van stocked with tools. Better yet he can hire me to fix his house 😂 or, I suppose, his landlord can hire me. Either way

Yeah that’s true, no transformer.

Still. Fuck that.

Being a lineman is dangerous enough fuck that

AI is very very neat but like it has clear obvious limitations. I’m not a programmer and I could tell you tons of ways I tripped Ollama up already.

But it’s a tool, and the people who can use it properly will succeed.

I’m not saying ita a tool for programmers, but it has uses

Take note, folks. Watch this trend spread.

Honestly, not really. I’m just kind of at a point in my life where it’s something I’m thinking about looking into, and an out-of-the-box option like this would be really handy.

I’d probably buy it.

Hell yeah! I became an electrician and now I work for myself. Which, so far, absolutely rocks. It turns out I didn’t hate working, I hated having bosses lol

It’s a great path if you’re up for it, to anyone reading

And that’s why I went to trade school at age 30. “I gotta get out of these fuckin places.”

It was a good move

Where’s the infuriating part? All I see is a corny comic book cover

I am WAY ootl on shopping for PCs and hardware, all the sites I used last time i did anything (god, around like 2008?) are quite defunct. Anywhere you’d recommend looking for a desktop like you’re talking about? I’d love to get my home on a selfhosted network.

I mean yeah, but specifically I’d like something built for Linux that’s good for just basic spreadsheet stuff. I’m an electrician so I mostly just need to track jobs and accounts.

I’m looking forward to it!

Side note: anyone got recommendations for business software? I’ve started browsing the FOSS community here for ideas but I’m not sure what QuickBooks alternatives exist

I’m thinking about a Linux laptop with FOSS software for my business actually, Lemmy’s relentless horde of pro-Linux propaganda has won me over

(OK I’ve always liked FOSS I’ve just never taken the jump)

Idk, are you using arch? There seems to be a correlation from what I’ve gathered from Lemmy

You’ll also get knee-socks so win/win
