Every morning at work it’s:

>Type in a password to Decrypt laptop drive

>Type in a password to Sign in to laptop account

>Type in a password to Sign into 1password

>Copy password for okta from 1pw

>Use fingerprint to Unlock my phone

>Type in 2FA code from my phone Google authenticator into okta

>Finally log into outlook

>Need to log into a system not behind SSO

>Type in a password to Re-unlock 1password

>Oopsie-poopsie phone died!

>Charge phone for 5 min so I can turn it on

>Type in phone password because you can’t use biometrics after shutdown

>Open Google authenticator and get 2FA for system

>“Sorry your authentication attempt has timed out”

>Type in password to unlock 1password

>Copy password to system

>Type in 2FA code from phone

>Finally logged into system so I can do work

>Oh it’s meeting time anyway

>Meeting is 30 mins

>After meeting get back to the tab with the system

>“You’ve been logged out due to inactivity”

I’d honestly rather drink a verification can.

Yes, or course. In fact, humanism to some degree requires an opposition to anti-human ideas, like intolerance, therefore a humanist is almost implicitly intolerant of intolerance, an earnest practicioner of the paradox.

Neat

Idk if anything technological change has massively stagnated because exploitation of workers is far cheaper than reducing costs through innovation.

Disposable culture: He predicted throwaway products, and now we have single-use plastics, fast fashion, and gadgets that feel obsolete within a year.

Tech burnout: Toffler said technology would become outdated faster and faster. Today, if you don’t upgrade your phone or update your software, you feel left behind.

Compare the leap between iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4 and iPhone X to whatever the newest one is.

My phone is a Pixel 4a and the only noticeable difference between it and the latest pixel is that this one has a headphone jack and the others don’t and they look like shit and have a worse selfie cam lol.

There used to be a time where upgrading your GPU every year would get you better bang for your buck long-term because improvements were so rapid. Now your 1070Ti can still run most games fairly well and with something like a 3090 you can last another 5 years easily, while the PS5 is barely any different to the PS4.

• Information overload: This term literally came from Future Shock, and if you’ve ever felt exhausted just from scrolling through your feeds or reading the news, you know exactly what he meant.

I don’t get this one at all. I don’t feel exhausted whatsoever, information is actually stimulating. Of course if you only scroll the news you’ll feel depressed because we live in a dystopia, but that’s not information overload, it’s just sad. On the other hand if simply reading anything makes you overwhelmed that just seems like a lack of reading stamina so you can just not do that, or develop that stamina.

Transient relationships: He warned about shallow, fleeting social connections — something social media, dating apps, and global mobility have absolutely amplified.

I don’t think this is a bad thing.

Rent instead of own: Services like Airbnb and Uber fit his prediction that we’d move away from owning things and toward renting everything.

Job instability: He nailed the rise of the gig economy, freelancing, and how fast-changing industries make it hard to stay trained up and secure.

This is all basic capitalism and it’s consequences.

EDIT: not sure what I said that was so controversial as to being deserving of downvotes.

Email in general is hell. It’s meant to be individual letters but has now become the most unholy form of IM.

To normies of course it is, they don’t even know what the innernette is, they know WiFi though. I’ve even seen people call their cellular signal “phone WiFi” or “5G WiFi” and refer to a Cat5 Ethernet cable as a “WiFi cable”.

Okay this article is dog shit but Google Drive has absolutely awful search and is missing so many basic features even for things like finding out where a file is so I’m not defending Google there, the author makes a bad critique but it’s a thing worth critiquing.

Subjectively, material design in its newest iteration is just also ugly as sin too, android 8 - android 10 was peak android, get these fucking pastels and overly large buttons off my phone and bring back the white/blue simplicity of yesteryear gosh darn it.

Every day the bait gets lower and lower effort

I have a high aversion to echo chambers because I too am a human same as everyone and find people just agreeing with me grossly unstimulating and seek out takes opposite to mine to understand them, deconstruct them and apply them to my own views either to refine/change them with a newly gained perspective or to argue against the opposing view.

I blocked all of those people because they are just unsalvageable people in my view. I was discussing the finer points of relative drug danger with some guy in a thread, talking about hypothetical lethal dosages for ht-2a classical psychedelics, and the guy was bringing up “Woodstock” and “brown acid” and how he “heard of a guy” etc etc.

There’s no point discussing anything ever with a person like that, it’s clear that we think along such different lines the differences are irreconcilable, like trying to convince someone not to be a bigot or disprove someone’s belief in religion/conspiracy with evidence and reason, when they just believe in that stuff, they don’t think about it and weren’t reasoned into it.

Same!

Blocked for calling anarchists absurd.

That is a dumb take and you could look it up on Wikipedia if you cared and iota to read many influential anarchist authors e.g. Kropotkin or Grabber, but trying to prove wrong every wrong person on the internet I’d never have time for myself so I’m moving on.

I have blocked 264 users, 9 communities and 4 instances and it’s made Lemmy much better for me toxicity wise. Whenever a debate gets toxic or someone starts just insulting or discussing in bad faith or I just get a bad vibe from them - I block.

Cron job that evals some base64 encoded string which is actually downloading a script from a personal GitHub repo of an IT guy who left…

Hahaha I always do this with chemical brothers because of “my chemical romance” which is a very different band, well spotted.

I was pretty confused for a moment reading this, thinking you were pumping music into your spinal cord or something then I realized it was speakers you’re talking about haha

You don’t need PR for that necessarily but yeah I see your point.

Gonna have to go with My Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar for just the best bass drop in general. Like a whole new world. But it’s not a headbanger or anything.

If you want a headbanger: Born Slippy by NUXX

There’s also Livin’ Loose by George Clanton with a legendary bass drop, but it’s not very high energy, more like chilled out:

If you do want a bit more high energy:

Quicksand by Sweet Valley

If you want even more high energy and never heard of Sweet Trip, (or in general if you haven’t heard of Sweet Trip), I highly recommend it.

It’s one of those bands that you gotta listen to before you die because there’s nothing quite like them out there, even if you don’t end up liking them, the fact anyone makes music like this is pure enrichment of the human experience.

Tekka by Sweet Trip

Pro:lov:ad by Sweet Trip

Also if you like that song above, check out this fan-made music video by rigging a facegen AI to react to the beat of the music

If you want something more normal:

I wait for u (by the telephone) - Figurine

If modern electronic/rap is also okay: check out this, it’s basically death grips but less over the top experimental:

Not that I’m anywhere by Cities Aviv

And as an extra non-EDM “epic bass drop” (well more like drums kicking in), I can’t help but mention this:

Talking Distance by Soundbeam Sound Machine

and

Doomsday by Speedy Ortiz.

EDIT: sorry if that’s too many! It was hard to narrow it down to so few of my all time favourites that fit the criteria or that I think OP will like!
