I have been enjoying the board game Galaxy Truckers. It balances planning and luck. And best of all, it's designed to be finished fairly quickly, it does not go on for a long time. There are 3 levels of complexity depending on how short or long you want the game to be #boardgames
Thrilled with open source task management software Zim. I switched over to using it recently #opensource #linux #productivity
Anti bitcoin
I do not think legitimizing #bitcoin is the way to go in this era of global warming and climate change. Instead I'd like to see mandatory warning signs, like on cigarette packets, except that this is a warning for financial health
#selfcare tips
I made these changes for myself and it really works
1. Check news sites only once a day.
2. Stay logged out of social media, even #mastodon , even on your phone apps. Log in as needed to check or post, but log out afterwards. This provides just enough of a barrier of friction to not check social media more than needed.
Implementing both of these together means that you are less likely to wind up doomscrolling and more likely to be productive and live life. At least that is what happened for me
Stranger things
So disappointed in the 1st episode of the latest season It was like they expected everyone to remember what happened before, or to do homework about it. It was like watching an episode of a soap opera that I didn't care about. After the last season came out, there's been a pandemic! Ppl have their own lives! I don't think I can watch the rest of it , sadly
I have been reading about #tiddlywiki It reminds me a lot of #processwire even tho the use cases are very different. In common, they both have "everything is a page" and user custom fields
Hmmm. I was looking to resuscitate my Diaspora account, only to find that the pod has since been discontinued 😢 I'm now looking for a pod to join. #diaspora

Cryptocurrency is basically environmentally unfriendly currency with relatively high exchange costs (gas money) and no safety guardrails and regulations that banks have #cryptocurrency

I still sometimes catch myself thinking "No! Don't click on that thread! If you do, the algorithm will present you with a bunch more of those, whether you like it or not".
Then I remember "It's OK, this is Mastodon. There is no algorithm ". It's like waking up from a bad dream #mastodon
Hi! I like #coffee, #reading, hanging out with friends, listening to music, #Linux, #gardening, #ruby / #rubylang and more #fedi22 Not republican, democrat or any party. Pls do not assume my viewpoints will necessarily be the same as yours. I respect your right to differ. In case you have a follow, no follow, or block policy: I'm pro life, pro adoption and think abortion should be rare and reserved for medical reasons. There should be no stigma to unwed women who have an unwanted baby and adopt it out, they are heroes. About rights: I feel the most basic right of any woman (or man) is the right to life. I care about rights, in this case the rights of the unborn who cannot speak up for themselves. You need not agree with me to follow but if any of this actually offends you pls don't follow, and of course just block me if you don't want me in your audience.
