I am an assistive technology instructor at the Conklin Davis Center in Daytona, FL. In my free time,,, I like dabbling in programming languages, swimming, listening to music, reading audio books and hanging out with friends.

Me: Oooh what's this cool publication/blog about tech? Let me click on the link.

*takes me to a Substack site*

Me:...oh. I see.

Seriously disappointing to see how many people are still actively publishing on Substack. 😒

This is going to be an extremely specific question, but if there's one place that can help me, it's gonna be fedi  

Can anyone give me some examples of late 80s/90s/very early 2000s tunnelling/mining design software?  

Anything a geologist/mining engineer might have used at the time to model mining shafts and/or geological layers, or plan a layout of a mine in general. A google search does not give me what i'm looking for :(

Edit: so many wonderful answers, thanks a ton everyone!! 

The answer that comes up the most seems to be that a general purpose CAD like Bentley MicroStation was used in most cases, with some in-house plugins/software additionally added.

If the "AI" ceos actually wanted to make making music less frustrating and easier, they would be making:
-DAWs accessible to blind and low vision people
-DAWs with scaleable, customizable interfaces that have text that is not for ants
-aids for people who want to play instruments but have restricted mobility/pain/ "nonstandard" hands or fingers
-ergonomic midi controllers for people who can't click on the mouse too much because of pain
-accessible workshops for people with learning disabilities
-creating accessible covid-safer music schools, concert halls and events
- grants for disabled unemployed musicians
-FOSS music making software that is easy to modify and is interoperable with other existing software, that works on linux
-many other possible things that make access to making and creating easier

Instead they choose to make a cursed, energy non-efficient fake-hype software that they hope will make them money. Ok.

can y'all stop fucking calling Zuckerberg a lizard man

there's enough wrong with the guy that has nothing to do with him being jewish. You don't have to resort to antisemitic rhetoric

#Pixelfed and Mastodon are both part of the Fediverse, which means you can follow Pixelfed accounts from Mastodon and Mastodon accounts from Pixelfed.

For example @Iancylkowski is a Pixelfed account but you can follow it and interact with its posts within Mastodon by just clicking on it. You can see what this account looks like on its own server at https://pixelfed.social/Iancylkowski

There are many different kinds of server on here, and they connect together to form a single network called the Fediverse.

As of this afternoon, more than 26,000 people have registered for FEMA assistance made available by President Biden's Major Disaster Declaration for California.

If you've been affected by the wildfires in Southern California, apply for federal assistance at DisasterAssistance.gov.

Network and advertising execs have never cared about the products they hawk as long as the checks clear. This could get entertaining.

I get it. Use AI, because why wouldn't you use all the tools that are available to you if it makes your life easier? But there is a fine line. Between using it to assist with your social media posts, to making it write them completely. I've just read a timeline where every post is obvious AI; it doesn't even look like they've been edited after.

At no time in human history has there ever has been a universal, worldwide cultural norm for sexuality and gender expression.

No peer reviewed science affirms neatly separate, exclusively binary biological sex and social gender. Transgender identity is not a mental illness, there is no mass social contagion.
