What kind of stuff are you researching now? You seem like a kindred spirit. I just bookmark things after there get to be too many tabs as I like context switching between twenty tabs for hours and get an odd satisfaction out of not using the tab switcher.
Holy fucking shit. You must have so much RAM!
For me:
A Pluralsight course on Windows Endpoint Manager
Various Lemmy tabs
The Economist
This Youtube video about Pakistan
So “we” are not our brains
If our brains were fully connected to our bodies, we would have an innate knowledge of the human body without having to go to school for biology.
I think that’s a good way to get out of scrolling, but not a good way to become a part of a community. I think doing what you’re doing is a good start, but also frequenting a few places (especially more niche communities) can also really help.
I don’t know that we’re watching the internet collapse. I think we are witnessing tech companies respond to growing financial pressure by accelerating their monetization plans, and it’s blowing up in their faces. The result will be the reinvention of the web. I don’t necessarily know if decentralized apps are going to take off, but I do think the internet will shift towards smaller (possibly open source) sites in retaliation.
Remote definitely is not for everyone! I would just like the freedom to come and go as I choose, but I guess that’s not economical from an overhead perspective.
You have IT manager experience, my dude. You’ll definitely find some remote work either back on the dev side or still in management. My company tried to pull this too but joke’s on them because I moved 200 miles away from the office during Covid. The Economist recently published an article which cites a study that says working from home is not as productive as previously thought, because of the aggregate value that unplanned micro-interactions in the office can provide. Not sure I agree…
I love this
