Thank goodness I have an actual medical reason to work from home for two days a week, RTO came just months after taking the job on the promised hybrid schedule.

I feel like I can get different sorts of productivity at home and at work, and depending on how my workload lines up I often need both in office and at home time to make progress.

Managers and others up the chain absolutely cannot know what’s best for individual workers productivity and so try to micromanage instead

I’ve been bitten before, hence all the extra cable. He’s a lot less wire-crazy than our other bunnies. They aren’t allowed in here 😆

edit now the link actually goes to what I meant to post, the bunny will have to go here:

What’s the real downside of localized population decline? I’m not going to have a child to help the financials of a school district, I think society should be able to adapt to fluctuations in population without having too much of a tantrum 🤷

My wife and I want a child someday and we’re privileged enough to be able to afford that (probably) but it’s not because we’re afraid of the human species going extinct or demographics changing over time. A lot of concern about birth rates is very white supremacist-coded even if some individuals aren’t aware of that.

I would piggyback on the people saying to get a PC, and think about building a home theater PC. You can use steam big picture mode to make it act like a console, but you can also use it for other things. You can even use steam’s streaming capabilities to stream to other devices on your network like your phone or laptop if you want to be elsewhere.

this looks pretty neat, definitely adding to my wishlist.

My wife has struggled with disordered eating, and it’s been a long journey for both of us. She is also tall and got to a really scary place. She’s doing much better now, but it continues to be a process. Keep up the great work and don’t give up!

Really cool idea, hoping to see updates on the project as it goes!

Did anyone else ever play Airfix Dogfighter? You got to fly model planes all through a house and break glass and stuff. Super fun times 😁

I really love A Show of Hands by Rush. It’s one of my favorite of their eras, though I feel like the “synth era” isn’t as universally loved by fans

Yeah, it wasn’t until my second time starting the game that I took in any of the combat tutorials

For me after some time away from PC gaming, getting a steam deck was one thing that got me back into it. The other thing though was definitely selecting relatively short games. I played a lot of open-ended games that I could never finish like rimworld or crusader kings, it was nice to get back into games with a beginning middle and end. And in the same vein it means I’ve been playing stuff that I was interested in playing back in the 2010s but didn’t really have the time/money/hardware for

Do you think that a significant number of people who would benefit from some amount of student loan forgiveness are in this situation? Do you believe that it would be good to do nothing so that some undeserving people aren’t helped as well?

If there were a progressive candidate in the general election I would’ve voted for them 🤷 Believe me I didn’t vote for Biden with much hope for anything changing for the better in the country.

I’m using it both for notes at work (software development) as well as a separate graph for my own thoughts, ideas, todos, pretty much everything. Using Syncthing to sync my graphs between devices works pretty well, though it’s had a bit of a learning curve in getting it set up.

I played assassin’s Creed 2 and Dishonored, which have been in my backlog for ages. The Steam deck has really rekindled my love of PC gaming

Just finished Dishonored and now I’m on to Dishonored 2

Katamari is just such a gem of a game. Totally novel concept, amazing presentation, lots of replayability. Really hard to follow up on that
