I tried counting sheep, but there’s one I always miss.

Terrible Coworkers (lampinc.net)

I find it mildly infuriating that some coworkers think entering a break room gives them license to play loud music over speakers, use obscene language (especially to and about other coworkers), and disrupt the fifteen minutes of peace and quiet some of us crave in the workplace....

nsmnc,

The post pertains to break room etiquette. The header image is a break room.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that OP isn’t exactly well liked by their colleagues…

I'm not nearly insecure enough to need the validation of other people to function; that's a weak disease.

Anything that gives workers more breaks is good.

You've got me there; lung cancer and heart disease do make for irrefutable excuses to cut out.

Anyway, my complaint was more about the smell of smoke and how it lingers on clothes and in the air for nonsmokers. It wasn't mentioned in-post, but I'm constantly hearing wet coughs as well, which is both disruptive to my workflow and is just gross (especially in a post-pandemic work environment where people refuse to even cover their mouths or use sanitizer anymore).

I'm sorry but comparing coffee/tea to nicotine is like comparing OTC Tylenol to illegally obtained OxyContin.

nsmnc,

There’s no need for fake platitudes on the internet.

On this, we agree.

Aside from smokers getting extra work breaks, the things you’re complaining about are not mildly infuriating, they’re other people’s personal choices that don’t impact your ability to do your job. They’re examples of completely normal experiences that nearly everyone has to deal with - mild annoyances at best.

The community is listed as 'Mildly Infuriating'. The few examples I gave in my post are things I personally find mildly infuriating. I don't know where you work, but in most places of employment, a certain standard of professionalism is expected.

You don’t get to police what people do on their breaks. You don’t get to police what people do to their bodies. You don’t get to police what language people use when talking amongst themselves.

Where in my post did I suggest the actual policing of the behaviors I found irritating? Or did I just list them?

If you’re so offended by bad language and music, wear some noise cancelling headphones on your break. That will have to added bonus of stopping people from talking to you at all, so you can get that decompression time you need in order to do your job properly. You should definitely start taking your own non-smoking smoke breaks if your boss/HR won’t address the issue of smokers getting additional break time.

Headphones are restricted in most work environments, hence the speaker loophole.

I've got nothing against free speech, but there's a time and a place for shit talk. Why is that up for debate?

The break disparity wasn't the issue I was addressing. And asking for additional breaks for myself does nothing to fix the issue.

nsmnc,

I love running into people like you. Cream of the crop.

nsmnc,

The number of breaks allotted to those who smoke was not the point.

I moved into my own place to get away from habitual smokers, yet I'm forever doing laundry to get someone else's smoke out of my clothes.

nsmnc,

I made the assumption it would be Cheap Thrills, and not Cheap Thrills (ft. Seal Paul). That being said, I had to cut the video off five seconds in.

I'm sure there's talent, but you really picked the worst version to cover, I'm afraid.

nsmnc,

I agree.

Number four just hits different.

nsmnc,

I don't regard this as a valuable addition to the topic at hand.

nsmnc,

I've had problems with every client I've used, wefwef included. I've just decided not to access Lemmy from mobile devices anymore. Problem solved.

Sorta...

nsmnc,

Federation existed long before Lemmy.

nsmnc,

Uncertain as to why this would infuriate anyone.

I do, however, find the incorrect use of the word 'perfectly' in this instance mildly infuriating.

nsmnc,

As someone who has never had a Reddit account and only recently started using the site prior to their API pricing 'announcement', I can only make an educated guess as to what 'Karma' refers to.

That being said, I feel like Lemmy, as a federated alternative, and its users should stop using Reddit as some gold standard.

nsmnc,

I mean, technically, the additional fifty years aren't mandatory...

What's the best RSS feed out there?

So far all of my experiences with open source RSS feeders have ranged from mediocre to disappointing. Either I have too little control over how the app itself works (Nunti, You Reader) or the interface looks too messy. Feeder looked like a really option but the lack of organization didn't convince me. Are there any other...

Read You

There's a slight learning curve, but it's the most organized mobile aggregator I've seen so far. You can customize the following:

• theme

• landing page(s)

• refresh rate

Among other things...

You can separate/group your feeds into local accounts which can be renamed. You can also create subfolders for each local account. I had about four or five local accounts myself:

• Apps (i.e. GitHub Releases)

• Privacy Blogs (i.e. Proton Blog)

• News (i.e. The Guardian)

• Technology/Security (i.e. Superuser)

• Entertainment (i.e. Digital Trends, etc.)

Each feed you add has the option to allow Read You to send push notifications so you are alerted of new articles. You can edit how little or how much an article loads upon being tapped on (i.e. visible header images, blurb or full text, internal or external browser tabs, etc.)

This is the best open source option for mobile users, in my opinion.

Despite all this, I now exclusively use Fluent Reader on desktop, as mobile just doesn't do it for me. There is a 'Fluent Lite' for mobile, but it is vastly different from the desktop version and I do not recommend it.

Hope this helps.
