sbv,

programming. It’s just a really big IDE.

Tab Wrangler

sbv,

I use a browser extension that closes the least recently used tab after 15 minutes. It stops closing when it reaches five for the current window.

I don’t think I’m missing anything.

sbv,

Listening is indirect help, passive help. It’s helping simply by existing

Not in my experience. The listener is helping the speaker organize their thoughts, work through their feelings, and (in some cases) decide on a course of action. The listener needs to ask questions, understand the speaker, and help them sort things out.

In a spouse or friend situation, the listener is probably also providing emotional support. Which can be immensely helpful, since it validates the speaker.

There’s also follow up. The listener should talk to the speaker and see how their feelings have evolved.

sbv,

it’s a hard transition to make when we want so desperately to help and are asked not to.

Listening is helping. It took me a while to get that, but we’re helping just by being quiet.

sbv,

That would be amazing

The Unity Desktop Environment an Underrated Masterpiece (unityd.org)

Why is the unity is underrated when its what i use right now with Ubuntu Unity and its actually really great experience for my 2021 HP Stream 11 Laptop and i hope you all to share your experiences using the unity de in Debain Ubuntu Arch Fedora Gentoo Opensuse Etc thanks for your Amazing community my Wonderful Friends

sbv,

Probably? I switched employers and I’m running osx now. I prefer Unity, but osx works too.

sbv,

That’s good! It should be usable and intuitive for everybody.

sbv,

I used Unity for five or six years. It was undeniably fine. I had no complaints.

sbv,

Doesn’t hosted WordPress auto-update at this point?

sbv,

Is a hosted site like Medium or WordPress an option?

sbv,

That’s totally understandable.

I self hosted a blog for a while. Tweaking it was fun, but eventually the novelty wore off. If I ever do it again, I’d probably use something hosted so I spend more time on the content instead of the back end.

sbv,

sbv,

This is why we need AI

sbv,

I enjoy sh.itjust.works. I’m not convinced the instance makes a big difference, but I feel like this one is fine.

Walking Desk Is More Annoying Than A Standing Desk (hackaday.com)

I feel like there was a missed opportunity to use some of the spare computing power on the desk to add some helpful navigational autonomy. Like using a backward facing web camera for lane assist, obstacle avoidance, route following, etc. Could leverage something open source like Autoware.org to get most of the way there....

sbv,

Okay, now put the whole thing on wheels. I can finally go grocery shopping during my scrum.

sbv,

Her name is Blinky

sbv,

Because being user-friendly is way, way, way more important than things like privacy, not being bombarded by ads,

People gravitate to the technology that they can use.

I live in a small town. Every business and service has a Facebook group because it’s usable. A couple of stalwarts maintain web pages but they’re full of inaccurate information because they’re too hard to update. The Facebook groups, on the other hand, are constantly up-to-date, and the owners are quick to respond to any comment on them.

That’s before you get to network effects. Everyone in the town uses Facebook. So when kids ask for a messaging or social media account, they ask for a Facebook product so they can talk to their friends and family.

It’s incredibly shitty. Everyone in town would agree with your sentiment, but they bounce off competing products. The effort involved in hosting a service isn’t a higher perceived cost than the ads, privacy invasion, etc.

sbv,

AND I WILL FUCKING MEAN IT

sbv,

AND I WILL FUCKING TELL EVERYONE HAPPY KWANZAA, MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, FELIZ NAVIDAD, HAPPY HANUKKAH, OR WHATEVER FUCKING GREETING I FEEL LIKE USING

sbv,

Gift certificates. 🥲

sbv, (edited )

do we have a shitty technicals community here?

sbv, (edited )

maybe we’ll be renditioned to the same black site

sbv,

That’s a serious life skill. Avoiding micromanaging gives you more time, makes the other person feel more empowered, and avoids conflict in your relationship. Props!

sbv,

they’re still smiling
