I have a toddler. I come home from work, cook, feed, clean, wash up. We read stories and play. I put him to bed. Then I put something on the television and my wife and I scroll on our phones until she goes to bed. I am not so careless with the little free time I have. I continue to scroll until about 1 am. The next morning I do it again. On the weekends, I get to drink wine.

I prefer to drink wine at night and read an eBook or watch when something good comes up on streaming media. Can’t always get what I prefer and that is life.

Same. And on Monday, I look back and wonder how I ever got to fit five or six things in one weekend, and now one or two things fill it up entirely. Love the little ones though, they're my world.

The job market feels like it's been run over by a truck. What's the play here? Anything automated/streamlined (job platforms, LinkedIn, etc.) feels like a dead end. Messaging people, networking and so on seems like the only reasonable way, and that's a hustle all on its own.

It's definitely about who you know. But it always has been, fbow.

My first post on Twitter in 2007 or so was kinda about the utility of broadcasting what was on my mind. :)

Been sorting packages all evening. I don't work for the post office. I do this for fun, I think. Maybe I just like to automate things and make them perfect.

I’m getting seafood today yumm yum

Management says „AI first“, everyone hears „Human second“

I can't believe Apple fell for foldables

……

and an top of that, not calling it the iFold

i think theyre pretty cool. the tech market is too safe nowadays.

…

Totally, I'm glad they're at least trying something new (for Apple). It just underscores the general failure of imagination vibes I get from everything in tech nowadays. Most of the industry is breathlessly chasing a 20th century "golden age of scifi" vision of AI. And Apple's over there diligently trying to improve upon other companies' products from five years ago. At least no one's talking about the metaverse anymore.

yea its kind of sad how the design language has all converged to the same phones and laptops. 1990s/2000s tech had so much swag and fun with design, especially japanese brands. i like what nothing does, the uk smartphone brand. at least they have some identity. and yea the metaverse to my mind was just a meme eversince they introduced it, like I know exactly 0 ppl that own a vr headset, and im with the nerds here. just shows zuck is surrounded by yes men

🎯

I think I may be use this for now to spill out my guts a bit. Set out boundaries guys. I was basically ignoring how important that is, whatever is at work, family, relations. Be loved being you, you don't have to meet any expectations beyond yours.

Exactly. Whoever likes it. If they respect you they'll stick around, if not, you don't need them.

Cheer to that mate!!. Wish I acknowledge before everything started to get messy. but we grow, we learn, we live and we put money on therapy.

I picked the first, because you didn’t specified level, and I assumed below college.

Putting a slide deck together (outside of work), despite agreeing with Tufte on this matter. I’ll also create a handout that tells the story better than the slides and deliver that, too, but was asked to produce a slide deck, and I think that’s part of the “effort theater.” Using Beamer for the slides, but not a theme that looks like Beamer because humans have eyes.

, tonight, August 7th 2026. doing some security hardening and UI-UX fixes

hi! welcome and congrats on the ! you can are free to linkify it if you use the full url.

i recently finished hemingways "the old man and the sea". very highly recommend for anybody that wants something short and memorable. left me feeling something between inspired and nihilistic

This strangely reminded me of golden days of Twitter. There was a point I absolutely love Twitter. This is also a reminder for me to pick up a book instead of reading a load of random stuff online. Thank you!

I read it when I was (too) young. I didn't understand it. It seems I shoul read it again.

Productive weekend started four hours ago for me (at 06:00 EDT). Visited aunties and mum. Just got home, and waiting for wife to finish preparing to get on the road again. Next destination: nursing home (visit family, and “adopted” elders).

Hi

i would choose x and the fediverse over this tbh

, 'for you' tab only show text by me. is that it?

Here I am trying to shine amidst all the darkness that pulls me down.

I found this from f-droid.

Pocket Trillium, brilliant!!!

Yes 🙌 the authoring box first thing. Before I get distracted. Heck, make writing something down how I get distracted from reading others' posts.
