@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I had organizing issues and thought of my own solution, that became what I use daily.
First I set a priority with the famous priority matrix:
- A: Urgent and important
- B: Important but not urgent
- C: Urgent but not important
- D: Not urgent and not important
- E: To delete or reprioritize at the next iteration
Then I take at hand only five tasks to actually do, they can be less than five but not more.
The rest of them is to be forgotten until the tasks are done.
if I need to take another extra task I must decide what I take down from the 5 “active” to keep being within the limit.
The backlog should be around 50 tasks at most of context I have “Work” and “Personal” as context with a count of 50-60 in total right now.
I also keep four important management rules:
- No due dates: With this approach everything is handled manually, so you need keep caring about your to-do list over time without it growing indefinitely like a dumpster.
- If I’m not doing it get it out of the “Active” list: The tasks I keep are what I’m doing and care at the time I put them in “Active” on weekends I take down everything still pending from work, that helps my mind a lot
- Read everything everytime: Each time I decide to add a tasks to the active list I read every single task in my backlog, a max limit is needed to keep it contained and have only a meaningful selection of them, if something has lost its meaning off it goes!
- Tasks, not events: If I have it in my calendar then it’s not in my backlog, a tasks is something I DO while an event is something I ATTEND TO
I’ve been using this for some time after getting inspired from a playthrough of Pokemon Emerald 😉 and noticed the care I put in selecting my moves after they learned them since they are limited to four.
This is also used by one my colleague and he seems to have a positive feedback about it.
@prologic@twtxt.net it’s made for normal texts, it’s not for terminal or any other monospaced tool so it’s normal to look ugly in there.
Also, from what I know fonts are usually made mainly in black on white so I think they haven’t polished it to work with different contrasts yet.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Well, I actually did a couple of times, I did commissions for flyers, business cards and wedding invitations so I’ve played a lot with fonts.
Sometimes the choosed font is unreadable to me so I write in simple sans then apply the font on the text.
@prologic@twtxt.net nice, I’ve managed to install Go 1.19 the other day, hope to get my hands on some code.
Last week a colleague from another department came to me and said: “We must make a ChatGPT chatbot for our project because it’s so cool!” 💩
I kindly sent him to hell, “If you want it so much just have him make the code for you”.
Why is everyone thinking that shit is smarter than them?
@prologic@twtxt.net Oh 😣
I’ve noticed the image/videos filter in lists, maybe I noticed just now and was already there… 🤷
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Usual fonts are fine for me, but OpenDyslexic is like a super booster, great for everyone, I’ve seen some reading apps have the option to use it.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de now you do, 😸 I personally only met two people, one at work and the other was a little boy who was the child’s of my own teacher, he had a very low self-esteem because of it, just like me in my early days.
The worst is having it going undiagnosed, to others you just don’t like school and don’t want to put effort, that’s was hell until my teachers noticed and made me do a checkup for it.
If I had to say what really affected me because of dyslexia in my daily life was only within school, out of there almost everything can be overcame or avoided with technology or alternatives, now only handwriting and math are still an issue (digital texting, dictation and calculators are now at hand for me 😎).
Hey everyone!
Back alive after getting my second tooth extracted (2/4 done).
Anything interesting happened in yarn?
@darch@twtxt.net it can work, but I’m not sure about the mobile version.
What was your idea?
@darch@neotxt.dk the logout in the list of sections with the settings is not the best for me, it feels as if it’s not supposed to be there, maybe a wider separation would work?
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de I forgot to tell you why: I’m dyslexic.
My issue is been able to write something that’s at least readable…
If it’s not in all caps it’ll be a mess (apart from my usual mistakes), even a child’s handwriting is wonderful to me.
If I wrote in a readable way my hands hurts after a couple of minutes, luckily we have computers now. 😋👍
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Go for it!
@prologic@twtxt.net Yes, we’re getting there! 😎👍
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club so many fans! 🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m bad at handwriting so I envy you, I wouldn’t be able to write that beautifully.
@prologic@twtxt.net even though an invite system might be good to some I’d refrain from using it, someone like me wouldn’t be able to join with it apart from a self-host alternative but it’s kinda hard to get within the “circle” of interaction with someone else at first.
What I can propose is something like the form @akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee once shared, a set of questions that can be used to identify a human or bot and maybe show the reason it wants to join, the trick here is to maybe have a “non-verified” user that the pod owner could review and accept or remove based on it’s answers.
@codebalion@twtxt.prismdragon.net I also got COVID this summer, apart from the fever I had light symptoms, but it lasted a whole month.
After that I had several months of leg nerves pain caused by it, luckily it healed completely thanks to constant exercise.
Please be sure to get a checkup on any possible side effects and hope for a great recovery. 🤗
@darch@neotxt.dk yeah, here a reference to what I imagine: https://m3.material.io/components/navigation-bar/overview
@darch@neotxt.dk personally I haven’t looked at the logout until now but to me it feels weird to have it where I’d expect a follow button.
I think having it on the main menu is not so bad.
A solution I can think of is having two split set of menu, one for navigation (with hamburger on mobile) and one always visible (profile) with maybe the logout and settings on the same level.
Haven’t put much thought here right now, but maybe literally splitting the UI with a second bar could help with the accommodation of those buttons, on mobile one can even become a bottom navbar, always visible and thumb friendly.
Dunno why, it’s usually working.
I too replied to other before, maybe because I used the mention completion.
@eaplmx@twtxt.net Hey, the repo is there, open for you and everyone else.
Hope to get your feedback and/or contributions!
@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks, it seems to have two spaces after the username, but maybe it’s just because it’s mentioned from another pod?
@prologic@twtxt.net I’m almost having an identity crisis, reCAPTCHA isn’t the only one I’m missing lately…
@prologic@twtxt.net The mention here is not working?
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club It sure is! 😈
@eaplmx@twtxt.net Is it like, where you have passive income given to you by a screaming dude?
@eaplmx@twtxt.net Yes, I already did it but it’s broken (on Google Drive).
I just managed to get the file emailed to me directly as an attachment.
I guess I really am a robot… 🦾🤖
@prologic@twtxt.net change my account type to bot, I’ll be the first bot on Yarn.social! 😎
F***CK! Why can’t I ever solve that
damn reCAPTCHA?!?!?! 🤬
Today I had to download a file from Google Drive and I gave up after sightseeing half the planet’s bikes and traffic lights for more than 5 minutes.
What’s wrong here? How you manage to solve it? What’s the trick? Please help me…
@eaplmx@twtxt.net maybe by adding some mechanics to manage or terraform it (I like the planet exploration idea).
@prologic@twtxt.net Nice, I use the “Table mode” plugin for vim though.
This can be good for making quick tables outside of my editor.
@eaplmx@twtxt.net being able to share my view with others who can reply in a meaningful way, non tech people would look at me in confusion. And I live in an area with basically medieval aged neighbors.
@eaplmx@twtxt.net I switched to Vector Pass (dog fooding) as my main Password Manager, nothing else before except for my brain.
@eaplmx@twtxt.net Hey! Thanks for the interest, the app is already accessible but not the repo, I also was planning to add a Passphrase option but didn’t have the time yet.
Gimme this weekend and I’ll try to put out everything for everyone to use and contribute.
I also plan on a CLI version of it (in Python) for anyone interested.
@prologic@twtxt.net nice headline!
Yesterday I got an unexpected call…
An unknown old lady requested me to put a song live for her on radio.
She was confused when I said she got the wrong number, she insisted and asked me for the right number.
She started complaining when I said I’m not the radio station.
Has anyone ever had a similar experience?
@prologic@twtxt.net They already know how it works, it need to be different to not be bypassed.
@prologic@twtxt.net actually it works, another use is too have a custom page when opening the site when offline, using workbox v3 it’s as simple as adding a line in the configuration.
More advanced uses I’ve seen in a blog is too allow downloading posts when online and show a list on them when offline, super smart way to handle lot of pages.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci cool link.
I think honeypots is becoming commonplace, I received even yesterday a spam mail from a client site with a simple honeypot, maybe a question like, “Do you want an account (write Yes if so)” might work.
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net I often use Gimp for pixel art and photo editing, I use the others (MyPaint and Krita) for everything else.
Also Paint.net don’t run on Linux, so I can’t try it out and I don’t want to rely on Wine for it.
@prologic@twtxt.net I can’t say for iOS but on Android with both Chrome and Firefox the “Add to homescreen” is a bookmark, adding a web manifest it become a “Smart” bookmark, adding a service worker too makes it become a full fledge PWA with the whole install process and standalone app (for Chrome at least).
@eaplmx@twtxt.net I use it too, I even have an alias:
DEFAULT_WEATHER_LOCATION='JUSTAMOMENT CITY'
# Usage: weather [CUSTOM LOCATION]
function weather() {
curl "wttr.in/${1:-$DEFAULT_WEATHER_LOCATION}"
}
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org let’s make a library on Pypi!
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Won’t a simple manual confirmation within a day or something be enough to filter out bots? Or a Captcha on register?
@eaplmx@twtxt.net Wait why Paint.net over Gimp?
Isn’t Gimp a free vanilla software too?
Also, I add MyPaint and Krita over Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint for painting and illustrations.
@eaplmx@twtxt.net about the Web manifest you can take a look on one of my own in my app Vector Pass
The requirements for a installable PWA are a web manifest and a valid service worker (even if empty), I recommend workbox V3 for that.
@prologic@twtxt.net Some time ago I said to be working on a personal take for a PWA, I haven’t stopped or forgotten, it’s just taking lot of time with my other activities, same for gitxt.
Hope to get something up soon. 😉
@rebelljoe@twt.nfld.uk Interesting! Is it a clone of Tron?
Got 42GB off! 🎉🎉🧹😎
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I think it’s a good approach, but in my case a friend with a shop shared my business cards with their clients and other shops he worked with so I sometimes have calls from strangers looking for me for works or commissions so I usually keep my phone at hand (or at least know where it is).
If I didn’t do that, I too wouldn’t use my phone at all some days, except for things I read or research.
