I fucking hate Aptos. It makes my work emails (Outlook) look "quirky" and that is NOT what is needed.
I had the unpleasant experience of being in a group that applied SCRUM to research. Yes, the work involved software implementation, but research is largely antithetical to SCRUM. Yes, you need good research practices but a key aspect is that you don't know where you will end up. The stand up meetings became 30 minutes twice a week. Arrrg.
And, you know, boil the water. Or bring chlorine tablets or a water filter.
You could thin it out with water too. Soylent comes as a premixed beverage or as a powder if you want it cheaper.
I have ended up in a "view all and block" mode rather than a "subscribe to a curated list" mode because of the smaller community. That means I need to block a lot more communities I am not interested in and users that are just... Outside my window of civility or politics that I can handle. Raging tankies, for example.
I was up in Montana near Kalispell in August 2008 and definitely experienced people target practicing and the rounds were uncomfortably close to where I had previously pitched my tent. That was scary.
I think that having the opportunity for live fire + hikers/campers in the same space is a recipe for disaster. No one ever walks across a gun range.
At least BLM could make zones that are designated live-fire areas so campers know to keep out, and hopefully rangers don't have to do much enforcement.
I have blocked a lot of users and communities. I don't need to see a ton of stuff about and I don't need to deal with people who lack critical thinking skills. The "permit all and block" strategy works better with Lemmy being small and federated to keep learning about new communities.
Thank you for repeating it. It is important to indicate when engineering break even occurs. Before that... Neat, but still a long way to go.
Love how being a woman always gets you an asterisk.
