For real?! 😮
I know what leek is, but I always felt certain she was holding celery. Now that you told me it kinda makes sense! Learning something new every day 😅
@helene
@helene On this picture we see Hatsune Miku holding celery in each of her two hands. Does she have two jobs?
Something to think about 🤔
@chjara First I've read your post, then the one in the attached screenshot, and then a friend of mine sent me this video: https://youtu.be/AXXfhzSgLL0
Somehow it all falls into place so I decided to share.
Yes, the tank has its wheels made out of orange slices. I suppose it does count as experimental 🤭
@thor Yeah, I've read about your interview. I actually think you should go for it. I know it's not the pay grade you are used to and you might have to postpone upgrading your equipment and even worry about using it carefully so it lasts longer 😅
But it is the opportunity doing some things differently that might be good for you. Even if you fail, you can always go back to your old ways, so why not?
@thor Same here exactly! I've hated going to the country in the summer, there were no laptops and I couldn't take a computer with me 😂
I've hated trips to the seaside for the same reasons.
But it does feel different as a grown up — some tasks that require little to no thinking are not tedious anymore and even might be fun. The computer is not the only source of fun anymore and with all the "social" activities even might be tiring. If you are thinking about not using it, it's the same for you 🤷
@thor But living in the city and doing your job sometimes requires you using a computer and if you are in front of the screen, possess certain traits and habits, it's hard not to fall into that rabbit hole 😔
Maybe you need some similar experience to take a look at your life from a different perspective. I know it's hard when you need to make a living and have someone to take care of (even a cat), but think about it.
@thor Yeah, same here. We're about the same age and I've had a computer since I went to school. I know what you're talking about, it just doesn't feel right without it.
The experience I've described above helped me reassess some things a lot. Now waking the computer from sleep is not the first thing I do in the morning, I follow the proper routine. After all, I can get away not using it at all: I have a CD player, I read paper books and I have my phone if someone wants to contact me…
@thor When I was hiding from COVID, I've moved to the country. I had electricity there, running water albeit not hot water and even gas which was scarce, so everyday tasks required much more effort, esp. cooking.
I had a laptop with me, but I didn't use it that much, even when I had spare time I preferred reading.
It did make me happier in a way, but I think such life is unsustainable unless you want to move out of city completely.
Finding proper balance is the right thing to do though.
@thor @dowodenum
Let us not forget that it is nothing like tech in its level of unambiguity and precision, and likely never will be.
Even DSM is a good place to start. Russia is way behind on accepting disorders like this and treating them so I know the other approach quite well, when society treats those as just personality traits: "You're just lazy and need a good kick up your butt, get your shit together!"
It helps other people get what they want from you, but it rarely helps you be content.

"Outsmart the city" 🤭
@inari Ни в коем случае не обесцениваю, но субъективно мне кажется, что конкретно в РФ качество упало ещё сильнее, не смотря на то, что формальные требования стали соблюдать. Благо, сейчас у потенциальных разработиков есть pet-проекты, у дизайнеров есть портфолио, и т.д. Так что оценивать при приёме стало значительно проще.
@Rezard
@inari Тут и сравнивать нечего. В развитых странах образование — дорогое, иногда непомерно дорогое, предприятие, сильно меняющее дальнейшую жизнь, и гарантирующее не только определённый уровень знаний, но иногда и некоторые актуальные практические навыки. Такие мемы всё же изначально были про СНГ, где уровень коррупции высок, а само образование часто бывает оторвано от реалий рынка.
@Rezard
@thor I didn't realize Peer Gynt is all Norwegian, both the music and the original play. I've never even given it a thought 😅
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
