I love this community

I tried Gemini and it periodically failed to set timers and reminders. When I asked it the date next Tuesday, it got the answer wrong. 🤷‍♂️

It looks like a pretty minor change, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

I'd kick a couple of bucks towards a membership. I'm pretty sure I've dropped cash on my favourite instances at some point.

I'd be surprised if that kind of model could pay competitive developer salaries. Existing media platforms got started with mad VC money until they had a user base large enough to justify huge ad spends.

yes yes, but the robot cannot strike, you see, because one robot must make the strike motion, another robot must second the strike motion, and then all the robots must vote. if there is no robot to second the strike motion, then no robots may vote, meaning the strike cannot pass.

you only get one body so may as well look after it

That's a really good way of putting it.

this is the only thing I’ve found that allows me to escape my mind and be in the moment

That's what I really like about snowboarding and inline skating - if I'm not focusing on the activity, I take a tumble, so I have to pay attention. I don't know if either of those are something you'd enjoy, but maybe give them a shot?

I'm really sorry that's how things ended up for you. Best of luck.

I have a sedentary job as a software developer so it’s good to be more active.

...

would you continue this hobby even though it’s wrecking my hands

As a software developer who also has fucked up hands, no. This is your meal ticket. Don't mess with it. Being depressed with a job is way better than being depressed without a job and a disability.

I've actively avoided activities that use my hands because I don't want to mess them up more. It sucks, but that's where we're at.

I don't know what activity to recommend. I do leg-centric stuff: swimming, inline skating, snowboarding, and soccer. I don't know if those would be good for you.

Edit: sorry. That came across as hostile. My hand situation is managed, but it still gets to me. I'm trying to say that you should take care of yourself and your hands. The short-term gain of an activity that messes you up isn't worth it.

Exercise feels great, and I hope you find something that works for your mind and your body.

Yeah, I'd like to use the network, but the reviews are pretty bad. That and the lack of UWB makes it seem pretty weak.

What you should not do:

Experts have for years pointed out that’s a bad idea – and now Apple is officially warning users not to do it.

“Don’t put your iPhone in a bag of rice. Doing so could allow small particles of rice to damage your iPhone,” the company says in a recent support note spotted by Macworld. Along with the risk of damage, testing has suggested uncooked rice is not particularly effective at drying the device.

What you should do:

If your phone isn’t functioning at all, turn it off right away and don’t press any buttons. The next steps depend on your specific circumstances, but broadly speaking: dry it with a towel and put it in an airtight container packed with silica packets if you have them. Don’t charge it until you’re sure it’s dry.

I enjoyed that brief Android Chrome experiment where the browser supported moving the address bar to the bottom. Now that feature has been made available on iOS, but remains AWOL on Android.

How can I crosspost? (sh.itjust.works)

With the website there's a handy crosspost button when I'm scrolling a feed. Is there similar way to crosspost with Sync?

Lens manufacturers say that anything other than a microfiber cloth will damage the coatings on a lens. But microfiber cloths eventually pick up crap and they look like they're a pain to wash.

How do you keep your lenses clean? Are you using cloth/kleenex or microfiber cloths? If you use microfiber cloths, how do you clean those?

This is one of those tips that sounds cheap, but I've really enjoyed it.

Instead of lemonade, put a drop of lemon (or lemon concentrate) in water. It's most of the taste, but you aren't drinking a tonne of sugar. I use this to add a bit of flavour to my water in WFH.

Edit: fixed typo. Thanks Jeff.
