What are you looking forward to in 2024? - Lemmy.World

Finding employment
Same. Specifically, remote employment.
Well, good luck to us 💪
The job market has been unbelievably brutal this last year
Same. Lucky enough to find something part time but there’s so many people applying for everything it’s crazy. Best of luck!
Death
You may be joking but if not, there’s always people willing to help. You’re not alone.
Just feel like the world is doomed is all
Well, it was probably always doomed one way or another. All you can do most of the time is try and enjoy the ride.
Finally buying a decent ARM laptop that isn’t a macbook.
What laptop will that be?
Pretty much all the major brands are reportedly going to make laptop models with the Snapdragon X Elite chip, so any one of those really. I’m probably going to buy a Lenovo one since they have a good track record.
Nice. I’m out of the loop
I’ll be watching the market going forward. Let’s see what they come up with

I’m curious to see how this pans out when they start to ship. The hardware looks really promising, but I’m curious about the rollout for software support.

I’m excited to see real benchmarks from shipping laptops with off-the-shelf software.

The hardware isn’t the issue (well, it won’t be much longer) it’s the software that doesn’t exist that is.
But nobody on the software side will take porting to arm seriously if the hardware doesn’t exist. Some essentials like browsers and the adobe suite got ported to arm already but as soon as there’s an actual audience lots more people will bother putting out arm builds.
Being able to use “I’m 60” to complain about everything and use it as an excuse to get out of things I don’t want to do

You know what, I’m gonna say this too even though I’m not that age yet.

“Why is your rizz so bad?” “Shit sorry I’m 60”

Finishing my bathroom remodel then starting on my kitchen
getting into my dream collage probably
I too have dreams of lots of pictures
lol damn autocorrect
Same with you buddy
  • At work - recruiting another team member, so we are not all constantly plate spinning and I might actually have chance to spend time planning.
  • At home - finally getting the pictures etc up on the walls.
  • Nationally - voting the Tories out.

Honestly, nothing really. It feels like each year more fucked up things are happening, so I lost the positivity I had for the upcoming years.

Don’t get me wrong I am in a good place personally, but with all the stuff going on in the world it sometimes feel hard to believe it’s gonna get better any time soon.

Same - I’m a natural optimist and live a good life. But I can’t see any solutions for the horrors of the world. I only see new disasters brewing up, and being backed by more and more people.

But I’m finally starting in my new position at work next year and that good for me.

Same. I only have the ability to directly control a few things in my life and the rest is just constantly getting worse thanks to the actions of other people. Optimistic for me is just being able to tread water at this point and I’m not optimistic.
The new Dune film.
Do we know who’s playing the emperor yet? I’m hoping for either Sting or Christopher Walken.
Christopher Walker confirmed to be playing the Emperor, while Sting will have a surprise cameo role playing himself.
Wow … you scared me … for some reason this made me wonder if Sting was still alive or not … I never worry about Walken, he’ll out last us all
I have a test to become an air traffic controller coming up in December. If I pass I'll have the interview and school to look forward too next year.
That’s awesome, good luck!
Thanks! right now I'm so nervous I'm nauseous some times...
Looks like you picked the wrong day to stop sniffin glue
lol … make sure to take a tube of glue with you to work every day … just so you can use this joke from time to time … but don’t actually sniff the glue tho (especially if you are managing my flight)
Being in the top 3 men in a small running race
It’s the 1%!!! Geddim boys!
My Apollo plush arriving.
The second half of Invincible season 2
Looking forward to more Viltrumite vs. Viltrumite

Nothing huge yet.

  • Got a milestone birthday coming up but not sure what to do for it, once I have plans that’ll be something exciting.

  • I’ve been working on learning gamedev as a hobby for a couple years and hope to release my first proper actual commercial game next year too which is pretty cool.

  • No holidays planned as of yet but we normally do that over the Christmas hols.

  • Also we may or may not get a dog.

I need more things for this list lol

Moving my family back home after caring for an elderly parent for 3 years.
Trading in my Kia for a new (non Hyundai/Kia) car so I can stop being stressed of coming out to an empty parking spot in the morning.
Do you have a club?
Yup. Also had the security update done. The club is honestly a little more effective as it’s a visual deterrent, as thieves won’t know of the security update until they’ve already broken in. On the other hand, it’s a visual confirmation as well that your car is susceptible.
The new ones (post like ‘18 or ‘19) don’t have that issue I thought? You don’t see reports of Tellurides being stolen, it’s all 2010 forte shitboxes
Some of the 2020 and 2021 base models (key ignition) are still affected. It’s only on the 2022+ models where all trims have immobilizers as standard. Really dumb move by Hyundai/Kia to save a couple of bucks per vehicle. I otherwise love my car, but this issue and the “remedy” they did made sure I will never buy from them again.
Paying off the last of my credit card debt.
Same here. Had a car unexpectedly die and the new car lease messed up our financial plans. Should have our CC debt paid off by the end of next year.
Hopefully putting myself out there more. I have a spinning and weaving guild that I’ve joined, but I’ve been too burnt out to go to any of the meetings. 😓
You go to that, I’ll go to the cross stitch group I’ve been avoiding out of general nervousness. Deal?
Deal. 💙
2024 we are coming to conquer you!
Ok, then I check upon you in a month.
I’m really excited to start working with the engineers at work to learn how to rework the broken boards that go in the products we produce. I don’t know much about electronics and I’ve certainly never been to college, but I’ve apparently displayed an aptitude for understanding stuff so they wanna work with me to get the ball rolling. They’ve been able to convince management that my bench in the RMA department needs all the equipment a rework station should have. It’s all super exciting and I can’t wait to start.
