However, the barrier to entry to actually positively affect the immediate world around us is much lower than in almost all of the fictional, sci-fi, and fantasy works I've read. We've just been trained to discount the little wins and to focus on nothing but hitting homers.

I've found that in technology there is no silver bullet. It's just unfortunate that you have to brute force your way through an update. I believe that containerization works well when you control your whole infrastructure (or have authority of what impacts yours). Otherwise, it's more work.

I haven't dealt with it for years but places I have collaborated with used SurveyMonkey back in the day. Google AI tells me you can ask up to 10 questions on free surveys. www.surveymonkey.com

You slayed it!!!

Looking forward to the night. Congratulations on making it 8 years!

That absolutely makes sense. I'm much stricter with who I allow to follow me and who I follow. So it seems likely I won't share your unfortunate "twitter friend mob" fate. I'm sorry you have to experience this on any platform. I'm lucky to be unimportant.

I've only had two strangers follow. I blocked one that was obviously a bot and the other seems to be an iPhone app developer. I wonder why so many follow you.

Such a troublemaker! For anyone who reads this comment be sure to listen to the band Upon Her Eyes or else may evil gremlins find all your power cables and make them stop working.
