@misc drink some kefir or take some probiotics. It can really help if it’s GAD. Helps the gut brain nervous system and body and immune system regulation.
@misc all of that is to say that it will take far less time than you think.
If, for example, you are thinking about mobile development, you should easily be able to make “functional” apps in less than new year. How much less depends on how much time you have to devote to practice.
There is a bit of a gap between it technically does what I want, and it looks, feels, and behaves the way I want while doing that.
@misc admittedly, that last bit involves a lot of yelling at your computer. THings like "what the !#$&*| Do you want from me?!" as a result of framework features that were released half-baked, or with crap / no documentation, or seem to have a glaringly obvious missing feature that really, really should have been included.
Everyone we’re aiming for with this already has an X account, so you don’t have to do anything but grab the tweet data from a simulated web browser. Seems like this would be hard for Musk to block, and it would be a nice side benefit to make him spend resources to try.
Getting by without an optimal task management system: mildly stressful all the time
Finding an optimal task management system: intensely stressful until you succeed
@misc In my experience:
—"Optimal" is a moving target for personal task management systems. Mine have changed over the years, responding to semi-regular reviews of how my current system is working for me.
—Cultivating acceptance of a good-enough or better-than-good-enough system minimizes overall stress.
I feel like every time I see something about "such and such celebrity is a zionist, let's cancel them" it links back to some comment of sympathy and support for Israelis they made on, like, October 10, but elides the timestamp.
Similarly, I think some immediate statements from SJP and DSA chapters and whatnot, that they're still paying for, were made before the scale of attacks on civilians was apparent.
If we want to condemn, we have more than enough material from recent months, we don't have to go back to the peak of Fog of War.
I've reached a point where I have a bunch of recurring subscriptions I don't use. It's exciting because when I finally get around to cancelling them, I'm going to be so rich!
At this point, I think Threads and Bluesky are each preventing the other from engulfing the decentralized social web, and I think it might be the best possible scenario for the growth of a non-corporate segment (here).
@misc They’re also expensive. 😩
A fucking expensive hobby to have. All those ridiculous shit they need and then you have to charge your bike, and then even the stupid lights cost a fortune and we didn’t talk about the wheels,..
