If you’re a terminal weirdo like me I’d recommend Taskwarrior

I thought Battlefield Earth had a cool concept when I was like 13. I watched it again a few years ago and it’s hilariously bad. 90% of the movie is Dutch angles

I’m just using a self hosted git repo with markdown files. I was having trouble finding something open source that I could edit with vim that also had a good mobile solution. I also didn’t want to get locked into a file format that was specific to an app.

Markdown is ubiquitous and I use git all the time as a developer so it was easier to tack something onto an existing workflow. It’s a little janky but at least I won’t be screwed by devs abandoning whatever app I was using.

Listen to this wisdom. I used to be a heart and soul person and it burned me out real bad. I left a smaller startup at a point where I was handling several projects at the same time and I felt guilty about dumping all of it on my coworkers. I thought I was vital to the company but I was quickly forgotten and replaced. I don’t know why I ever cared so much. It was software I’d never use in my own life and it wasn’t important to the people who did.

Save the passion for your personal projects and try to find something low stress to pay the bills

I found it to surprisingly easy to read. I knew about the characters beforehand but never saw them used extensively in words I understand. Let’s bring ðem back

Russian oligarch survives assassination attempt by leaping out window

When you’re used to seeing the word classist it takes a second to remember a classicist isn’t someone who is prejudiced against ancient Greeks and Romans.

I pop in every month or so. I’ll see ya around!

I think it’s like the old trope of asking a fish how the water is and they reply “what’s water?”

More like Slim Weeny

Mysticpickle drops bombshell on journalists. Entire industry collapses!

Her friends don’t appreciate semantic drift. She’s innovating the language.

I think I got “cunT” once and gave myself a heart attack because I thought I had accidentally committed a frustrated debugging log message to a work repo. I found it while searching for swears but it was in a file I hadn’t changed

I tried it out because of the memes and stuck with it because there wasn’t a bunch of extra stuff I don’t need distracting me. I kinda forget I’m using arch btw

I the like the Han dynasty because it was run by a sole smuggler

This is true but coal mining is just as bad and requires orders of magnitude (mineral fuels) more excavation than all of the other minerals combined. If we can stop mining coal by using renewables the total amount of mining will be a fraction of what it currently is. Plus many of the other minerals can be reused where coal just ends up as carbon in the atmosphere.

It can mean cringe but it’s more similar to the word strange and can be good or bad depending on context. Someone who learns Elvish and wears clothes from the 1920s could be considered weird but interesting. Republicans are the kind of weird that makes you feel uncomfortable around them. “Why are they so concerned about what my children are wearing?” Kind of weird

I’m not the person you replied to but their experience sounds like mine. I agree 100% with that. I really enjoy making my own tools and figuring out things for myself but what I find interesting and useful is rarely what other people care about.

I’ll lose myself for hours making and axe handle with hand tools or cobbling together my own Linux desktop for the hell of it but creating yet another form to validate on a web app I have no need for is like pulling teeth.

I wish I could be someone’s garden hermit and just grow flax and contribute to open source projects

That serenity is why I enjoy running Arch with basically nothing on it. My OS doesn’t do shit and I love it

I didn’t know about this. Thank you for the knowledge fellow human!
