Should you learn something unrelated to coding?

You should! Here’s why:
✅ Increases enjoyment and fulfilment in personal life.
✅ Broadens perspective and develops new interests.
✅ Nudges your brain to form new neural pathways.
✅ Improves problem-solving and critical thinking.
✅ Reduces stress and improves mental health.
✅ Increases relaxation and ability to recharge.

@0xF21D well, good news:

I test it regularly manually on @MastodonEngineering / #Mastodon because @Gargron et. al. can't be assed to implement proper feed URL support.

  • So far it works just fine with no big issues.

  • (It'll compain about the commented lines but if you just delete the empty & comment lines it'll just work out of the box)...

If you find a proper way to update (not replace/merge) blocklists via Mastodon's #API (without having to spin up a #git or similar) I'd love to see that, but alas the destructive nature of some devs kills any incentive for me to unfck this mess or even submit it to #GlitchSoc #developers...

Pitch Besides manually adding a CSV file for blocks under /settings/imports , the option to automatically pull and update / overwrite blocklists would be greatly appreciated. This could also provid...

I think the #LightPhone3 is better than a shitty "#ProducedEwaste" #Android 8.1 brick from China but I don't consider it worth the premium asked [U$D 799 MSRP, U$D 599 preorder] for it.

I think people can get a better experience buying a #degoogled #Fairphone with #eOS and just put #RelaunchX as an #eInk-optimized #launcher on it and have a better option.

  • But I guess given #ForProfitHealthcare in the #USA is expensive I can see why a lot of people would rather buy such a device and sell their old one than seek therapy if they are susceptible to shitty patterns that #developers harness to maximize #screentime and #revenue.

Can't have #doomscrolling or #microtransactions if it doesn't support #NSAbook's #apps or shitty #PayToLoose #games...

What I do have to say is that #MKBHD acknowledges that he isn't the target audience and "that's fine"...

  • I just think that requiring people to sign up to some account just to be able to add/remove #Apps is a major #nope in my book.

I stayed off #GooglePlay for longer than it's being called like that and their "#lightOS" is most likely some tightly locked-down Android...

  • It's just an insultingly high pricetag for < $200 internals and the best feature they have isn't even the phone but offering a "no frills" plan which seems okay (by #USA standards!) but still...

I think people would be more accepting if it was a $299 or even $399 device, but at a price of a @monocles #phone whilst being way less versatile it's just not worth it.

  • Cuz it's not even a super "secure" device or offers something like a "concierge service" where the device price is artifically high to filter out average #WageWorkers without much disposable income...

3 ways that great software engineers demonstrate empathy…

🟢 They empathise with the problems and frustrations felt by their users, making them more likely to be able to solve their user's problems appropriately.

🟢 They empathise with the stress their product owner is under to deliver their project and recommend the most appropriate technical solutions based on the circumstances.

It's Richie

For over two years now I've been working on the revival of a community calendar that was built in the heady days of the sharing economy before Uber and friends extracted every ounce of community goodwill in their thurst for profit.

A FOSS self hosted community ecosystem calendar (like say one for the local indie band scene) seems like a natural fit for the fediverse.

I've been unpacking some ideas for how this might work in the discussions on the code repo.

Would love folks to give it a read and give any feedback.
