The tough thing with creative endeavors is that you really just need the motivation to start and continue making anything, it can be inexpensive stuff. The important thing is output and making it a regular thing.

That being said, gearing up for a new hobby is always fun if you can afford it. But you can absolutely make short films on an iPhone.

Woww I had a CD-ROM of Lemmings and I always felt so sad for the lil guys. Thank you for sharing that link!

Same here, we can build this community the old fashioned way by just sharing and engaging ❤️

Same - I regularly use vim on servers when I have to, but I can only remember some super basic commands. Most of my coding is done in a basic text editor like Sublime Text or Notepad++ or an IDE.

I do get the appeal of becoming fluent in Vim or emacs and theoretically attaining giant productivity gains. Although for me at least, text editing is not where all my time is wasted. I lose my productivity the old fashioned way: attending unnecessary meetings and wasting time solving the wrong problems.

Wow I am oblivious & just realized this is humor! my bad - this is great content

Interesting post! I really hope you’re wrong lol (I love SQL).

Go scream at the top of your lungs somewhere loud like a busy highway overpass. Weirdly works!

Similar situation here - working in data and struggling to turn off the thoughts! I’m going to try meditation too.

Thanks for sharing! I really want to get my family on Matrix now.

We have not been able to find a solid chat/video call app that the entire family (various ages and tech aptitude) can effectively use. We’ve been bouncing around to various apps since COVID lockdowns started. We had been using Slack for a while but the video calling in Slack is unusable now.

I’m wondering the same thing.

I am a long time signal user but I just started using Matrix yesterday and now I’m very curious about whether Signal or Matrix is better somehow in terms of security/privacy.
