a million times this, so many young people overwork themselves and burn out quickly

I cringe whenever a see someone has checked in code at 1am on a weekend, and these people are also working normal business hours so it’s not like they are only working at night

sadly it’s usually the same people who never take PTO either

I bought the Hanson CD

but you know what, I ain’t ashamed! MMMbop was catchy and I’ll listen to whatever gets my body groovin’

KoRn was my favorite band as a teen!

still enjoy their music even though I don’t seek out nu-metal as much as I used to

ARE YOU READY??!!

it’s funny because I was able to get a standup desk in my home office

I’m in better shape now than when I was sitting at the office (plus zero distractions from the cOlAbErAtIvE oPeN fLoOr pLaN)

I use chatgpt to get me pointed in the right direction and have it provide some basic boilerplate code for smaller tasks

I needed to go through a bunch of .json files and modify various elements

I was able to implement what I needed without google/documentation/stackoverflow

I was going to come in here and praise SDF but I see I’m too late

Damn you Dark Souls Remastered for taking me away from Lemmy for a bit!

I guess I’ll link the FAQ for SDF here for anyone interested in learning more

and also mention that SDF runs a Mastodon and Pixelfed instance for all your federation needs

didn’t realize people had issues with .webp

MacOS must have native support, I don’t recall installing anything but they work fine in Preview and Quick Look

oh yeah, I actually do for local food/grocery deliveries

$5 or $10 depending on how much crap I order, not sure what the expectations are though for this type of service??

I only tip for sit-down restaurants where an actual servers brings me my food

everywhere else I preemptively give the stank face as I mash the ‘no tip’ button on their payment system

I usually just round up to the next $5 amount to make the numbers clean, don’t really care what the % is

so a $16.83 bill gets a $3.17 tip

this makes it easier to plan a meal budget, like “ok I’m spending $20 on a burger and fries today”

yep, and I am too timid to ever end the conversation

so now I have to hear Larry’s entire life story, or about how Wanda’s cousin has bowel cancer

yeah sometimes it is helpful to have lower volume of content

reddit is like trying to drink from a bot infested firehose

the fediverse is like sipping on a nice wine/coffee/tea, etc with your friends

quality over quantity as they say

I asked ChatGPT to pitch me a social network using tech buzzwords 🤮

I used PowerDeleteSuite to nuke my posts/comments and two days later everything was back

luckily I kept the account itself intact so I have been methodically deleting my comments/posts manually, and so far those have stayed gone

I think they detected when people were using scripts and just reverted those changes

the github mentions android, I think it will be cross platform eventually

it is pretty good already, so even android users may want to follow development progress

NOTE: this is for desktop, not sure about the various apps

you can go to lemmy.world main page > Posts > Local

that would show the top posts only from lemmy.world
