Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Mid-thirties in a semi retired state. Not working and still very interested in programming languages, social improvement, maps, and wildlife restoration.

I live in a state of mind where everything I do feels pointless, but also somewhat rewarding at the same time. I go to meetups to talk with other software developers monthly, but most are fixated on LLMs now which is uninteresting to me and my goals in life.

My government (USA) will be taking away my healthcare next year so I guess I'll work for some company doing harm to the world again for profit.
