Ti accorgi di essere informaticamente "vecchio" quando hai bisogno di un tool desktop per linux, giochicchi per curiosità con Gambas Basic e ottieni in un'ora quello che con le cose moderne ed elefantiache tipo Tauri, Wails o <shudder> Electron otterresti in una giornata piena di lavoro, alla facciaccia delle ui in html.

PS: Lo stesso discorso vale, a maggior ragione, per Lazarus, criminalmente sottovalutato.

I think that #CAMM is a bad design compared to #SODIMM & #DIMM...

Still, just gimme regular-ass socketed Chips & #DIMMs ffs!

  • Also we don't need to make the THINN-nest machines ffs - just make them #repairable and #serviceable and #upgradeable, because #AntiRepairDesign is way more unsustainable than the 0,1% of idiots who give a shit about whether their #DDR5-RAM can do 6400MT/s or 4800MT/s, simply because most users won't notice that at all (unlike switching from a 2,5" #SATA-#HDD running at 5400rpm to an #NVMe-#SSD that maxes out #PCIe 4x connections.

#FACT: #RAM & #SSD|s are inevitably dying due to age and use and like #ThermalPaste need to be #replaceable for a device to work longterm!

I'd rather have a #THICC af #laptop that actually survives my daily use than some flimsy #tablet that snaps in half if I sneeze at it.

  • No seriously, most devices can't even fit proper ports and cooling fans for no good reason whatsoever!

Also I think it's insulting to frame basic things like "stability" as a negative.

Ich habe den „Anti-Planner“ von Dani Donovan. Ich habe Monate darauf gewartet und ziemlich viel dafür bezahlt. (Versand aus den USA. Uff.)

Dass er inzwischen etwas günstiger erhältlich ist, freut mich.

Bis zum 7.12.2024 (also Samstag) ist eine Sammlung mit 30 PDF-Arbeitsblättern daraus für $9,95 zum haben: anti-planner.com/shop/the-anti

(Das physische Buch ist ein Trumm und im Prinzip ein sehr hochwertiges Comic Book, das als Selbsthilfe-Arbeitsbuch verkleidet ist.)

Dani Donovan: The Anti-Planner · The Anti-Planner: Digital Download Bundle (30 PDFs)30 helpful PDF exercises in one sweet download! Some of the PDFs included are: - Procrastination Blackjack - How to Half-Ass It - Task Breakdown - ...and 27 more! These PDFs download as a zip file of individual pages for easy navigation. If you select the "clean" version the PDFs will be profanity-free. *Note: if [...]

Mailbox was supported by a couple 1x6 boards and they were getting wobbly. No doubt helped by bolts on back side rusting to break. The post was cracked in many places but was solid and absolutely not coming out of the ground without a bulldozer.
So I took it apart, cleaned things out, made a new support from a chunk of 4x4, and applied lots of bolts and adhesive. I really don’t want to replace that post. #diyprojects #woodworking #getshitdone

for the last 3+ weeks i’ve been working with a self-wielded sword of damocles at my own throat, because i could not stand the way the company i work for was treating its developers.

today i feel redeemed. the powers that be finally seem to recognize from whence their powers derive (hint: it’s devs) and are starting to come around to how to work with us.

bottom line is: align yourself with the people who want to #GetShitDone, and not the people in love with #AnalysisParalysis.

but heck, #ymmv

#Independent Senator #JoeManchin of #WestVirginia has published an #OpEd signaling his endorsement and financial support of #bipartisanship and politicians who #GetShitDone (#Biden ). 👀 👉 cnn.com/2024/06/25/opinions/pa

So, during the #debate, expect to hear #JoeBiden tout the #historic #bipartisan legislation that he has signed as #POTUS , and to paint #DonaldTrump as “the leader of the #DoNothing #MAGA #Republicans.”

我在dream job短暂的几个月学到的最有用的work trick就是每周,把所有的会尽量压在一整天,同时保证可以book一整天不开任何internal的会。
这一天也叫GSD日。(当然啦官方说法是deep thinking day)

在本人大力推广这个culture的不懈努力下我现在终于达成了周四不开会的小目标——一个小建议尽量不要把这一天选在周五因为lets face it,周五没有人会有心情干活的好吗。

@KatM @selzero well, #Adobe at least has some competition at hand (unlike say #Autodesk!), but in the end, regardless if #AffinityDesigner, #Photoshop, #ClipStudioPaint, #CorelDraw or #Krita - like with a #wacom drawing screen or #iPadPro - these are mere Tools to #GetShitDone...

In the end, it's about setting up a workflow and providing the correct tools for the end user to do so.

Even if that means basically buying half a dozen keyboards and then use a custom dongle to remap all the keypresses to allow a shitton of macros to be mapped on said keys...

It's what I did in terms of #SystemsIntegration and what takes quite a lot of time to get done...

  • So yeah, #wacom owns the #DrawingTablet & #DrawingScreen market because everyone else isn't even halfassing copies to the point of forcing wacom to even consider price cuts at all...

On running a #fediverse instance, "If the community has not already forged and formed itself such that they will self-support, then it's time to let go.

While I don't see #masto as particularly harmful, it and the #fediverse as it currently stands is not proving to be one of the ways to solve actual problems.

Social _media_ is useless to most people, in much the same way as news _media_.

We need social _discussion_, or social _cooperation_, social _news facts_ ? and social _tools_ to #GetShitDone" #openweb #4opens #OGB

@Snoro Shock horror.

When will we stop analyzing and measuring and finding the same things out, then doing nothing sensible about it?

It's embarrassingly simple really. Stop doing things we know to be harmful and stupid, downright destructive and abusive.

We already have the solutions.

But we are not "permitted" to act upon them because the dominant economic paradigm must be overruled.

Governments and corporations WILL NOT do this. They are incapable.

So, what will WE do to #getshitdone?

Replied to witchescauldron

@witchescauldron Yes, I do really feel that the #OGB is a step in the right direction for representing real communities online.

And more importantly, for providing them with _tools_ to #getshitdone instead of an ethereal, vacuous space where we increasingly lose time and life.

We need tools, designed to be used then put down again.
This goes for ALL digital social spaces as well, lest they consume your existence, as you watch the world burn.

Digital piss does nothing to dampen the flames.

@ExtinctionR Okay people, so again, we KNOW this stuff.

What will we DO about it?

How many more years shall we continue to only talk about what is being done?

We seem to be far better at documenting and bitching about the demise of much life on this planet, than doing anything about it - other than politely asking pyschopaths to stop being psychopaths...

We must step outside and #getshitdone using #realworldpermaculture - fix and build up your local community, then branch out from there.
