She had to pick what to read too!
I think I’d last a week in that job, I’d end up choosing weird stuff and getting fired

I can do this in the Elk web client for Mastodon.
If you’re having trouble with the web client you use, it might be worth checking out

Feels like a variation on this old quote:

The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.

I find that if I really like a product, I don’t want to have to go to the trouble of finding a new one in future if I lose/break the first one. Often, even if it’s something that you wouldn’t realistically expect to break, I’ll buy a few of it just in case, like clipboards, or document cases.

Another is consumables. For example, I bought an unusual eraser holder that has replaceable inserts for it. I really like it, so of course I had to buy 20 years’ worth of inserts because I can almost guarantee they’ll stop making inserts before I’m finished using the product.

For bulk food prep, it’s often easier to work in batches. For example, I might make 5 days’ worth of breakfasts at once, and store them in the fridge. In that case, I need 5 * <number of people> worth of containers. I also need to account for contingencies: what if a guest stays over? I don’t strictly need that many identical containers, but it makes for a good system

wiki.js
It has a few UI editor options, but I can definitely recommend the WYSIWYG markdown editor

I used to do it that way too, but my wife is not technically inclined, so we settled on something with a web UI for editing.
There are a few areas where the wiki is marginally better for me, the main one being the ability to do quick edits from a smartphone.
I do really like the simple approach with a static site builder though

Your own wiki, and your own social media-type service

I post miscellaneous notes to my social media-type service, and save lists and more organised information (including recipes) to my wiki.

Ooh there’s a monospace version too

There’s an Android app with firmware for the watch that supports notifications, so the watch has the potential for smart features

But it looks like there’s no equivalent app for Graphene OS, so in effect, you’re right, no smart features

Commenting because no-one mentioned the Watchy

No way! I didn’t know you could cycle through the results like that… awesome!

Works as long as you didn’t put something silly in your nvim config like

vim.keymap.set("ca", "q!", "echo 'not so fast!'")

takes up a lot of floor space

In an office they could be stacked like bunk beds

I’m not sure where showerthoughts energy ends and trolling begins, but I feel like stupider things have been successfully marketed

But they’re rare compared to standing desks, so I guess no-one’s nailed the marketing yet!

I don’t use a standing desk.
Personally I’m waiting for someone to come up with the laying desk. I want to be fully reclining, with a couple of monitors suspended above my head, and the two halves of my split keyboard on little tables under my hands

Burn a book! Save a tree!

The ecosystem is not so healthy on the server side, and I think the API documentation is a major factor.
The project has been sitting on this for many years

You could say it’s an improvement over BlueSky because with Mastodon you can host your own server, but if you don’t like their server, then you’re out of options

Mastodon builds on the ActivityPub protocol with its own API, but the last time I looked into it, the documentation of the API was poor, so it was difficult to develop for.

I haven’t looked at the BlueSky docs so I can’t compare, but it sticks in my craw a bit seeing the words “friendly for third-party devs” being used in the same sentence with Mastodon

I love the flat earther energy in this
