They judge your performance. It's like a reality show audition. If you know the drill, if you can perform in that one moment, you move into the next round.

If you do a few auditions you get more comfortable with it, otherwise the stage lights blind you and you're out.

Sucks but it will not change in this decade or next. No one who cares is in a position to affect it and those who are cannot afford to care.

I like how thumbs up universally came to be seen as a passive aggressive fuck you across cultures and countries.

People really are the same everywhere.

Have you taken over the weekly question? Back after a long time so I don't know what went on. Looks like the AI hotel street from Altered Carbon in here.

Sucks! Are you sure you did not buy a toy keyboard? That is a very crappy product if they keys are disintegrating. My shitty Inspiron had better keyboard! A cheap Logitech with no mechanical switches would be a 100x improvement.

What you don't have 4 GBs to spare for your network? Your answer is likely no. I suggest you get more RAM and an inspiration to go with it. Linkedin is giving you incentive to get a better rig!

#growing my network and my networth.

Are you vibe coding?

On a more serious note, what the fuck?

@devJs twats are everywhere. These titles are hard earned so I wouldn't generalize that all titles are twatty.

Yeah! Way to liven up the routine. Back to office y'all!

If this trend catches on we should see more entertaining stand-offs in WWE rings.

Keyboard warriors literally smashing keyboards on each other.

That reminds me a senior dev in a team I worked with was so frustrated at his lead after a meeting that he walked off, sat down and smashed his keyboard hard on the desk. He stayed on (the lead left; not due to this incident), but it was good watercooler gossip for years after that.

@tosensei I have to agree. It's a shame that these things are like smartwatches. Toys that miss their potential.

@gitstashio I didn't know it was webapp only now.
Anyway webapp is the only option on linux. I find it limiting and hard to navigate.
I loved the desktop app when I was on Windows.

IPad, well, they are not e-ink displays, expensive, and I think the same ecosystem restrictions will apply like Remarkable. Although there might be some app on iOS which supports notes syncing and exporting in standard format that can work with linux.

@joewilliams007 thanks. I could always play music on phone but the other dealbreakers match what I had in mind and what @C0D4 also indicated.

@spongessuck similar to what I get. I think I got last bottle for $7. It was close to 2 litres. I was comparing it with cafe coffees. Single cappucino goes for $4-5 and $6.5 at Starbucks.

On comparison with cola, yes it is more expensive. But I think it is still a better deal considering it is more caffeine and no hfcs or extra sugar. A whole bottle lasts me about 4-5 days.

@spongessuck how much is it in your area?

@C0D4 I agree. So for now Remarkable is still on the table.

@C0D4 this is what confuses me. The Remarkable display is must-have but the ecosystem is on the other extreme. *sigh

@C0D4 nice! And the display looks awesome! So fucking close to paper! Even though it is so bright outside.

@joewilliams007 erm, could you share your dealbreakers please?

@C0D4 I see. I was hoping I could read and annotate too along with taking notes.
Although I don't have large pdfs.

Thanks for your reviews though. It helps.
I hope rmhacks has a sync feature. I'll check it out later.

@C0D4 thanks!
The cloud lock was what I did not like about it. I want to be able to use syncthing so that I can take notes and later edit them on laptop.

Can you clarify what you mean by 'have to want to write'? Is it that it's awesome at writing and only that?
Seeing as I am looking to replace paper, I don't think that would be a problem.

@jestdotty I got to know about it after logseq. I have tried logseq but never got around to trying obsidian.
I used to love OneNote desktop but don't use it anymore.

@joewilliams007 I never considered Samsung in the mix, thanks.

@Demolishun rofl

Censorship is a code smell for a society. It is not the root problem.

In this case, there are still an advantage from it. Nothing stops a human from creating it. Cartoonists at least, can still maintain a creative edge.

Yeah!

@jestdotty sending a cuppa your way.

@vane I haven't given it much thought to be honest. What you described sounds like extra steps to me that hide things from the user to simplify the process. It doesn't simplify the process for me.
I think if the process of sign up and sharing is simplified, the ecosystem will grow better.
Your focus seems to be on passive users which is a different problem than what I had in mind.

@vane the irony of fediverse not having mainstream content creators despite having better ownership terms and content sharing than mainstream apps, also suggests that something needs to change.
Perhaps they may have better answers on what needs to change.

@vane The intro verbiage needs to be more accessible. It should be easier to understand how the system works and how sharing works. Who can see shared content and who cannot.

Again this can't happen with limited users and devs who more or less work for free.
It would also help if the signup didn't have so many choices.

IIRC the usernames for login/sharing profiles aren't standard either. They had to be qualified with community(?) or maybe that is just with matrix. Not sure about the last point.

@Demolishun shooting self in the foot then.

@TeachMeCode and that may even be intentional as it targets a specific user type. But who would that be on this app? Makes more sense for more mainstream apps.
