There's something interesting in here about the persistence of legacy systems that I can't quite put my finger on. Rest assured I will be consumed by the thought for the remainder of the day.

On Kbin I search for this: @trendingcommunities @ feddit.nl (no spaces)

And subscribe to the community/magazine in the search results.

For you it's probably available at: Lemmy.world/c/trendingcommunities

Hard disagree on the boring person part. What software are you working on these days?

Did I write this? Hello me.

My wife is that way. If she's making lists or planning a project or anything else that she really wants to remember she'll hand write it. For flow, like writing a short story, she'll type.

I meanwhile lack the handwriting gene entirely. It's too slow for me and I lose my thought before I've had the chance to put it to paper.

There was a study done on this kind of mentality. Researches invited pairs of players and before each game flipped a coin to designate one player rich and the other poor. The rich player was then given more money and an easier set of rules. At the end of the game they interviewed the player that inevitably won, and in all cases the players reported that they won because of key decisions they made while playing. Not one mentioned they got lucky with the coin flip.

Greetings from Oakland! Hope you kick ass!

Self-hosting projects! Excited to dig more into docker and portainer. Today was a database, knowledgebase, and dashboard. Tomorrow who the fuck knows but I'm psyched.

Mission accomplished

Outer Wilds. A lot of games have a high level of replayability, but your first playthrough of Outer Wilds is something you never get back.

The most permanent solution is jank that works.
