I forgot to add, it’s good to have a goal. Whether it’s losing weight or building muscle, and have a plan to achieve it. Keep at it, it takes time for new habits to form.

I love lifting weight. I squat three to four times a week and I love going heavy. I also love bench and deadlifts also. Seeing my body get stronger is also rewarding, and just being physically capable is a great bonus. Helps counter act my sitting!

Open source software

Yeah, well, Reddit still has a lot of niche stuff and smaller communities. Lemmy is still growing at a fast pace and will get there one day, but for now - it’s better then Reddit for tech/linux stuff.

Is Neverwinter free now? Or are you playing another version?

Lol this is like a dad joke.

Tesla’s have become the new BMW drivers from my experience as of late.

Hype is real. Feels like this is the place to be. Reddit 2011 vibes with the high quality discussions. It’ll only get better. To the fediverse and beyond!

I feel attacked.

I’m assuming you’re referring to ChatGPT not being casually accessible. If you’re signed up on a free account, you get access to GPT-3.5 which is pretty decent. If you pay the $20 a month you get access to GPT-4 which is even better, and I prefer to use this - but the free model is also fine for learning podman/docker.

Sign up, if you gotta be on the waitlist, get on it. You can also use Google Bard or Microsoft’s Bing chat AI as well. The MS Bing one is GPT-4 backed. Either way, they will help you learn stuff. Don’t be discouraged, push through and embrace these awesome generative AI tools, they unlock superpowers for you :)

Use chatgpt to help you keep going, it’s very helpful

edit: Thought I’d expand on this more. Treat ChatGPT like a fellow engineer who never gets annoyed at answering your questions, and will never tell you that you’re dumb (haha). Tell it what yo’ure trying to do, copy paste your commands into it, copy paste the error messages if you have any. Literally, inundate it with questions and info and it’ll help you understand what you’re doing and help you unblock yourself. It’s a great tool.

Someone upvote me so I can tell my family I’m not a failure.
