I switched from 40 to 30 (6h @ 5 days) two years ago and it’s been magical. I get the same shit done in 6 vs 8 hours (because realistically I can’t concentrate for 8 hours straight, so there is some empty time in there anyway) and have more time in the day for myself. And I still make good money even with the pay cut.
The last time I got really fucking sick and had to stay off work for two weeks I played a lot of “Sticky Business”.
You design and sell stickers. Its cute, chill, wholesome, scratches my creative itch, and is just distracting enough for all the being-sick stuff going on, but not so complicated as to trigger a headache.
Even nicer?? That must be absolutely heavenly!
Spekulatius! It may be called speculoo in english, but it doesn’t have an english wikipedia page so I’m not sure. It’s a dutch spiced biscuit and I love it, could eat it all year round.
One thing I have with controllers is, that when I do the old -Syu and there are OS level packages in there, steam won’t detect any controller until I do a reboot, even if the OS itself detects it.
Other than that there are some games that have full controller support but still only work with steam input. It’s trial and error with every game.
Also in i3 steam doesn’t like being tiled and wants to be floated (does not react to mouse inputs otherwise), but in hyprland it doesn’t care either way. If you’re using i3 or something similar, maybe this is related?
A long time ago my when my little brother was in first grade, he got a homework sheet where he had to unscramble a bunch of names. I thought this scrambled version sounded cool, and have been using it as username everywhere ever since.
There is a popular question “If you were to lose either sight or hearing, which one would you chose?” and my answer is always: i could live with never reading with my eyes again, i couldn’t live with never hearing music again.
So yes, music is a big part of my life.
I use it as a tool, to support a specific mood or situation. For example I have a few playlists that help me get into a flow state for work (the Brotato OST is great for this, also my anime playlist). I use a specific album to help me calm down when I’m having a bad headache. I listen to epic music while cooking or doing housework (recently: Two Steps From Hell).
But I also listen with intent, especially for my favourite artists, or artists I just recently discovered, or albums I just recently bought. I like to find my favourite song in each album, so I want to listen closely, and sometimes write down my thoughts about a song, or quotes from the lyrics.
And I also make music myself: I am a member of a local women’s vocal group/choir. The genres of music we’re singing isn’t really something I would listen to at home (metal doesn’t really lend itself to be sung by 40 women with a median age of 50+ unfortunately) but I’m not necessarily doing it for the songs themselves: it is just so much fun to sing together! I love hearing our voices come together, I find immense joy in joining my voice with others.
So, yes: music to me is art, and content, and community.
I love music.
“Die Solidargemeinschaft soll nicht für Therapien aufkommen, deren Wirksamkeit über den Placeboeffekt hinaus wissenschaftlich nicht belegt ist”, heißt es in dem verabschiedeten Antrag. Die Kostenerstattung suggeriere eine Wirksamkeit homöopathischer Mittel und führe Patienten in die Irre.
Eben! Das ist, was ich seit Jahren in jeder irl Diskussion über Homöopathie sage.
I love turtles (and tortoises, and terrapins) and this is a super cute rice! 💚🐢
Oh thank dog, it took way too much scrolling to find someone here that shuts down their workstation overnight. Unless I actually have something long-running that I want to come back to in the morning (which is rare) it just makes no sense to me to leave it on while I’m asleep.
