Hell yeah, intern! DO IT!

Typed! Back in my day we just got a wire that you had to lick in binary to tell the computer what to do.

Phones aren’t as exciting as they were, but it’s still nice to get these little quality of life improvements.

It’s weird that an enthusiast community isn’t more enthusiastic, but as long as everyone’s enjoying themselves, I guess.

ngl. I do appreciate the magsafe case I got for my P8P. Being able to stick my phone on a holder is handy.

1. Be friendly to other Lemmites. Encourage them to post and comment.
2. Post and comment whenever you can.
3. If you have niche hobbies or interests, try posting about them into an appropriate community.

Social networks and message boards get more popular as they get more users. Bring friendly and posting regularly should help us maintain the user base.

I keep a text file formatted as a hierarchy. It’s basically just an indented list.

One of the items is called “workstreams”. It’s the 4-5 things that I’m responsible for at the moment. I have subentries for the current task I’m blocked on and the next few things I need to do.

Every morning, I start at first workstream item and try to do as many of the items in there that I can. When I get blocked, I move to the next workstream item and repeat. When I get to the last workstream item, I either do other stuff or go back to the top.

If there’s a time-sensitive task, I do the same thing as @eezeebee@lemmy.ca and create a reminder in my calendar software.

Reminders as meetings are 🔥

If it’s “good enough” for the task, yes.

Many tasks have loose success parameters, and an acceptable failure rate. If the automation fits in those, and it simplifies my day, then it’s reasonable automation.

I’ve made one time donations to a few investigative outlets.

I used to support The Guardian, but their prices went up, and I don’t read it as much as I want to.

are you saying I need to be worried

you’re probably fine

I like the idea of short videos. But guess that’s not the best way to make money, so instead we have long videos. 🤷‍♂️

I feel like video rolling onto the scene was the beginning of the end. I don’t like video as a medium, so that’s an easy place for me to draw the line. Before Youtube&co link zines and blogs would link to other readable stuff. Sometimes it had pictures, but it was complex and thought out (usually). Over time, as monetization become more of a thing, Youtube became more of a thing, along with influencers and unskipable ads. And here we are.

Typically, an abstraction maintains the essence of the original. Asking “what if <good thing>, but it costs <bad thing>” isn’t an abstraction.

I’m not aware of a proposed solution to climate change that involves mass torture or murder.

The question feels more like one of those terrible parlor games where you have to pick a few cards and then argue some randomly generated point.

In your face Premier League! MLS is where it’s at!

Sorry, is there a Project A-ko game?

Chummer and omae always worked better for me.
