Social media woes 

@dosnostalgic oh no

if you're open to the idea, i think there's a set of userstyles that hide other people's likes from your timeline if that's the only thing stopping you from following them

@LongLevy in my case, i take off the month where business is the slowest

my pitch was that burnout is extremely bad, and this is a pretty good way to help avoid that

actually, helping others with burnout is a good strategy to raise awareness too--and it helps others!

the idea is that even though i'm out, if something bad happened, they can message me if i'm really needed, and until i'm back, there aren't new features and stuff

@LongLevy oof, one of those

i work for an extremely small company too, but everyone knows what i can do

maybe you can start drawing attention to your abilities somehow? maybe by explaining big things you overcome? maybe by detailing things to look out for, and why they matter without getting long-winded?

if you mange to make your value known, a lot of things become significantly easier to negotiate--and that might include breaks to do things you like!

@noctilucent ooh, that's not shabby at all!

i telecommute most of the time, and it's basically great! the hardest part is self-control, but if you use things like the pomodoro technique, or keep a kanban with the promise that you won't over-complicate it, you can often be extremely productive, and feel nicer overall about it

@noctilucent good luck..!

if you've decided what you want, avoid being ambiguous and i think you'll do fine! ^^

@LongLevy oh no

depending on what your work is, maybe you can negotiate certain time off in exchange for added responsibilities?

i do that to take december off when i can--but maybe you can do that to scratch your art itch when you feel it?

going back and trying to write Common Lisp really makes me appreciate how simplified Clojure made a lot of things

like, with-slots, destructuring-bind, multiple-value-bind, let, and let* in Common Lisp all can be handled with Clojure's let macro

heck, Clojure vectors basically remove half of the reasons why you'd ever want to quasiquote (especially outside of a macro)

huh, neat

gboard's glide typing randomly decided to break on me, and clearing its learned words fixed it

i really wanna know what word did that for, uh, experimentation reasons :ms_smirk:

@thefishcrow@cybre.space niiice!

even now, i really like mine--it really is a nice piece of hardware

good luck with rebble..! ^^

@sugar (but yeah, they sure do love their lawyers, don't they?)

@sugar ah! i gotcha

i was mainly asking, because it would make the sine wave of demeanor on your timeline make a little more sense :ms_kiss:

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i was perusing codl's git repo a little and yeah! it seems like upstream things get merged in pretty often

like, i'm seeing stuff being merged 4 days after it appears on upstream

huh, cool!

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz it seems awoo still doesn't have it, but it also runs on glitch social, so it might take a bit to get upstream features

(hmm, i wonder if chitter is on upstream)
