Not xkcd in this case

I also highly recommend the movie, one of my all time favorites (and not because of this scene)

Still very cool to think about

And thank you for the app link, if I ever get flexible enough hours I wonder if that sleep schedule would help my somewhat unhealthy relationship with sleep

I definitely agree some of the issues they cite are more complicated than they need to be

It would be awesome to base schedules around sunrise (especially sleep, your routine sounds very nice), but the wild variance the further you go from the equator might make that unruly.

Depending on the time of year my schedule would "shift" around multiple hours due to latitude, people in (southern) Norway would have to shift around 6ish hours, all the way to the extreme arctic circle where the sun doesn't rise/set depending on season

I think I could adapt where I live, but I feel like "time of day" would lose all meaning without also knowing time of sunrise, whereas right now I can be reasonably certain how "active" the world is in any given timezone at 9:00 or 23:00

It is definitely interesting to think how different it would be to base everything around sunrise (you'd never really say let's meet at x time, it would always be relative to sunrise), I just struggle in thinking people would be able to break the routine of relying on nice round numbers for time

As much as timezones are a pain (I'm a programmer who recently finished working on an international calendar for an app), I don't think getting rid of timezones is a great idea. https://qntm.org/abolish

I think a much better goal would be getting rid of daylight savings. THAT causes so much headache for little reason nowadays

I would absolutely go to this event

The scout's voice actor (Nathan Vetterlein) used to be super active, but a few years ago he said he'd be going on an "indefinite break" while he focused on other goals he had in life (presumably to do more than just be the "TF2 scout guy").

His linked in currently says he's working as a principle game designer at Wizards of the Coast

But I agree, with the other voice actors getting together and doing all these fun projects it would be awesome to see him again

Blokada 5 has been very nice to me, no root, and doesn't use much battery (android tells me 4% after a full day). Only downside is that it counts as a VPN connection, so if you want to connect to another VPN you have to turn it off temporarily.

Otherwise definitely Firefox with ublock origin

Semantle is pretty fun. For every word you guess it tells you how semantically similar it is to the secret word.

You get unlimited guesses, so there's no shame in throwing words at the wall and seeing what sticks

Well shit. That hit deep.

Thank you.

Haven't tried it personally, but this might work: https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox

Basically, instead of creating a fedora distrobox and installing davinci resolve in there, this is a pre built image that has all the dependencies and such ready to go.

Ooo and there's even a serious looking page "explaining" it as the first result when looking it up on Google

I'm definitely stealing this idea

I love it

Funny enough, that's a feature of GitHub copilot: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/github-copilot#_generate-git-commit-messages

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/write-your-git-commits-with-github-copilot/

TagSpaces is a cross-platform file browser that operates very similarly to a regular file browser except it supports tags

If you're just using Windows files.community does something similar with a tighter integration with Windows

The benefit of both is that all their organization features sit on top of the regular file system so you can continue using the organization you have already

Thank you

I guess my concern is that as a user who created their account on programming.dev, it feels like it's coming out of nowhere. I like browsing the communities here, I hadn't seen the original post on the other instance before this thread, and if I had missed this thread this whole instance would just disappear seemingly randomly.

I'm a programmer by trade and by hobby so when creating my account I went with "the programming instance." Now I'm hearing that because of a thread on a different instance (lemmy.ml) this instance is defederating with programming.dev.

I get that you can migrate to another instance, but if decisions on defederation can be made based on the actions of one person this could definitely happen again, and I don't make a habit of following an instance admin to make sure I agree with everything they say. It seems exhausting and unsustainable to constantly check other instances for inter-instance conflicts just to see the communities I like/want to be a part of

It's a great feature, but the "inter-instance politics" of it are exhausting. I'm a programmer by trade and by hobby so when creating my account I went with "the programming instance." Now I'm hearing that because of a thread on a different instance (lemmy.ml) this instance is defederating with programming.dev.

I like browsing the communities here, I hadn't seen the original post on the other instance before this thread, and if I had missed this thread this whole instance would just disappear seemingly randomly.

I get that you can migrate to another instance, but given how this is going how can I be sure this won't happen again and I'd lose access to instances out of nowhere? It seems unsustainable to constantly check other instances for inter-instance conflicts just to see the communities I like

I agree with separating from different minded groups, but these are the words of one person who set up the instance who definitely doesn't speak for the "programming group." I feel like action could be taken against the individual without basically punishing the entire instance

I have no idea, but that would be pretty cool

The PDF multitool I've been using is Stirling-pdf, which has support for adding/removing passwords

Funny enough, I also learned about this tool from a previous edition of this newsletter haha
