  • Feel like I'm never caught up

  • Perfect, thank you!

    I currently use a plain old brown bound journal for occasional reflective writing and there’s something about the physical act of pen to paper that helps me calm down so this may be the way. I’ll check out the book.

  • Do you have any readings/resources you’d recommend on this?

    Right now I’m using TickTick but I loaded it up with so many things, most of which will be abandoned and never cleaned up. Eventually my lists will get too messy and I’ll abandon the software. And the cycle continues lol

  • It’s only further deepening our world’s dependence on tech companies.

    Once large swathes of infrastructure and services are being developed and maintained by AI driven development, now all those companies are dependent on AI. Now they function at the whim of the AI companies. It’s the same issue we’re running into with cloud service dependence.

  • I will never understand how people could be this rich and do stupid shit like this.

    With all that money, you could go find the love of your life, travel the world with them, pay for all the mental and healthcare you need, be fit and live the rest of your life happily with your soulmate AND still even have the capacity to help others if you so desire.

    But instead they do this shit. I hate reality.

  • Kash Patel faces criticism for touting FBI’s work tracking down suspect prematurely

  • Yep this is their playbook. It looks like the meta for the Information Age is to just overwhelm with random noise (information) even if it’s completely wrong or a lie. Which kind of checks out with their whole AI obsession since all these companies are banking on “AI doesn’t have to be right… it just has to seem right”

  • Bossware rises as employers keep closer tabs on remote staff

    Jump

  • Ironically, my manager was someone who did very little “managing” and mostly did hands on work (I work IT), and he just got laid off.

    Meanwhile all the leeches that spout BS metrics that are faulty are all still here. Idiots all around.

  • OpenAI Demo'd Fixing Issue #2472 Live. It's Still Open Months Later.

    Jump

  • Based on what they showed in the demo, that’s not the PR. gpt made more changes than what’s in that PR and also modified a different transform function. My guess is they never actually pushed the actual commit from the demo or made a PR.

  • Fuck that school, their behavior is what allows this kind of thing to continue and turns these asshole kids into asshole adults… and then we end up with modern day US.

  • This is exactly why I started doing it lol. I was getting depressed on days where it felt like I was so busy and overwhelmed but I felt like I accomplished nothing.

  • Dude LSD in the water supply would be better than whatever the fuck is going on in this world right now

  • Federal judge blocks Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to Chicago, rest of state

    Jump

  • I doubt it, because he can just get his goons in the Supreme Court to change the ruling. It feels like these “judge blocks X” events are nearly meaningless. I mean they still do something but in a sane world… we wouldn’t be at this point.

  • Can anyone confirm?

  • Project 2025 group wants huge changes to policy to encourage more kids

    Jump

  • My take on this based on knowledge of the kinds of pieces of shit these people are and the fact that they specifically don’t want to fund childcare programs:

    They want to pick and choose what families they want having more babies and they’re going to take your tax money and funnel it to those families. Essentially eugenics is probably their end goal.

  • Uh last time someone went on a trip with Cheney, it didn’t really end well for them

  • How do you not feel lazy at your wfh job?

    Jump

  • Honestly I used to get this, now I just focus on what tangible deliverables I have and if I’m getting them done in a timely manner. If I am, I take whatever time I need away from work.

    I also like working flexible hours. Sometimes meetings bog me down and I have trouble constantly context switching (there’s something called a context switching cognitive penalty). So on those days I’ll relax in between meetings (other than some minor maintenance and meeting prep work), and then I’ll get some work done after hours when I’m feeling more focused and won’t be interrupted. Though this may not be possible for everyone with family obligations.

    Finally, find some fun projects to do at work in between other obligations. Doesn’t have to be some major thing, but sometimes I’ll find an opportunity to develop minor tooling to help myself or my team. I try to find things that will also develop my own skillset.

    Bonus is that a lot of my side projects get brought up during my performance review.

    The above makes it sound like I work way more than 40 hours a week, I definitely do not lol. But doing things at my own pace lets me get all my work done and then some, and I have a work life balance.

  • “He thought it was funny,” Ms. Pirro said of the defendant in a video posted online. “Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today, because we charged with him with a felony.”

    Does this mean he has a shot at the presidency now?

  • I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this was the start of him stationing goons all over the country to stage a coup at the end of his term
