Because you don’t message them generally if they’re away; so away and busy marking helps. The difference you’re describing for not needing to check if somebody is in the office, means you are the sort of person to just show up at somebody’s desk and yap. If not, this new feature gains you no ground, as you’d still need to check if they’re available. If so, you’re already quite unlikable in the workplace.

Yo, I was hoping to chat about fizzing buzzes today. You in the office; wanna grab coffee? If you prefer you can call or we can just chat on slack? Anyway I thought it would be best if we foo’d the bars in that order on project A.

Easy. No naked ping. No pressure. Question already in the open. No expectations. Will find out if able to meet in person. Will get an initial response.

They recently cribbed the Catch Up feature directly from Slack. I’m a big fan of that. Come up with a good feature on their own? Nah.

Who would I ask and what would I say? I don’t know. So no. I’ve spoken to some about them, but get lost in irrational emotion. It’s very strange. So I just leave them to languish in the backrooms of my conscious.

Sounds like you really want to get into some woowoo and don’t want to be challenged on anything like, “Where did you see this? How many times? Where can I see this?”

Sorry. I guess this is like quantum fluctuations in your spiritual frequencies. Probably implies a deep connection to the sky people. Maybe you can see past the dome through the æther. /s

That was a tongue in cheek jibe. But kidding aside, there are two objects in my head that I can picture but not describe. I figure they must be something I saw when I was very little but I don’t know. When I try to describe them I get irrationally upset. Maybe we’re keymasters. Who knows.

This is one of the most clever comments I’ve seen in a good while. I hope you meant it to be as funny as it is and that others recognize the double meaning.

I drink maybe a few times a month and even then not much. The older I get, the harder it is on me. I have definitely taken it too far a few times in life, both in a session and a few times where the habit became everyday for some months. Neither are good. But periodic drink while breaking bread with companions is a great thing I think.

And I make mead and love it. So that goes down the hatch too. We are fortunate not to have formed habits that hurt our lives. Everything in moderation. Not good to overdo it but no sense in teetotaling either.

Has any merger been rejected in recent decades?

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Maybe some sort of longitudinal studies about long term effects. Who knows? But each datum helps.

People will definitely reply about how obvious this is and how we already knew it. But research improving empirical knowledge about any links in any field is still valuable.

The video is shit and I hate this post.


I’m just kidding, bb. I’m sorry I said that.

Following in the footsteps of Hashicorp, Hudson, etc. Zed has chosen to cash in the good will of its now substantial user base and start going to full corporate enshittification. Among other things like minimum age nonsense, they have also added binding mandatory opt-OUT arbitration.

I find such agreements very troubling, because it gives up public funded dispute resolution for private which nearly unanimously benefits larger entities, it lowers transparency to near zero, and eliminates the abilities to act as a class and to appeal. But I worry most will just accept it, as is the norm.

You can however opt out by emailing arbitration-opt-out@zed.dev with full legal name, the email address associated with your account, and a statement that you want to opt out.

I'll just consider my days of advocating for Zed as an interesting new editor over and go back to Neovim bliss.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because it celebrates the harvest and can be treated as a day for gratitude. My family also calls it T. Hanks Giving and celebrates by eating pie and watching Tom Hanks movies.

I’m thankful for many things, this year my puppy. He has been great for my family and my mental health personally. For what are you thankful?

Interesting new logic analysis channel on the scene and it seems very well done.

 

I find the hard puzzles take a long time too.

Said of Mozilla’s recent change to terms and privacy.

 

I like smooth scroll. I love Neovim. So I use Neovide. But I really wanted a nice way to manage instances per git repository / project, including server / remote socket management and allowing files to be opened into the correct instance. It detects running instances and opens into or switches to them accordingly.

This is also integrated into Finder and open via a swift wrapper. So one can, for example, use raycast to quick switch projects.

Check it out if that sounds interesting. There is also a longer video guide on the Usage wiki.

 

This has gotten some attention, especially about a week ago, but I really hope more people will continue to try it and, if interested, support it. It is Firefox, but heavily modified to please a different audience that prefers a slightly different UI than Firefox. It has some of the appeal of Arc, Vivaldi, and the Sidebery extension.

In my view, it is very promising, and all competition in this space is good. Here it is on Github, also.
