Trying to find a good place in my daily routine to read articles and not really satisfied with anything yet. This is where a commute was actually useful.

When do other WFH types work this into your routine?

@sarajw @melanie the first sentence of this message made me laugh 😄

@DavidDarnes @melanie this reminds me that a previous manager would use a screen reader to read his articles to him while he was driving 💡

@DavidDarnes I think Pocket might also have a TTS function built in. It's too bad I don't still use them, I'm a Reader by Readwise girly now.

Every time I see somebody walking a husky I ask myself "did you do the reading before you got that dog or was it a horrible surprise?"

melanie,
@melanie@front-end.social avatar

@seldo for our previous neighbors I believe it was the latter. We shared a wall with them and their husky would cry all day long. 😢

What I had hoped for: a modest return of blogging and RSS.
What the internet got: indie content behind Substack paywalls.

FWIW I don’t begrudge artists piecing together income streams to make a living. I do wish we could lean on more “open” patronage, similar to Open Source Collective. Openly sharing ideas, openly giving financial support.

@jasontucker @boogah I’m impressed you haven’t come across it yet! 😂

Am I the only one who finds Discord's UI unbearably noisy compared to Slack? So many little widgets and bells and notifications and colors.

melanie,
@melanie@front-end.social avatar

@seldo yes, and I still prefer using it for fun applications / communities because I associate Slack with work 🙃

Please! Send help! I have stopped listening to any other music than the Arctic Monkeys now. Not even RTJ. And my family is beginning to take notice… 😂

@matthiasott when my husband still used Spotify, he was in the top 0.01% of The National listeners. I say own it! 😄

melanie,
@melanie@front-end.social avatar

@matthiasott I agree! 😄

Me: wants to do CSS like my ancestors

React: ok but what if I got in the way of that idea and left it to authors to decide if they'll accept your valid CSS or not? wouldn't that be fun??!1!

melanie,
@melanie@front-end.social avatar

@5t3ph hehe I love the idea of ancestral CSS

@melanie@front-end.social avatar

Life is too short to finish reading a book you’re not into. You’re literally paying with your life. DNF with abandon!

@keithjgrant I had a bit less than 2 hours left in my current one and I was like “do I dare?” Feels good and rebellious 🤘
