  • Not sure why this is being downvoted. My main takeaway is just that while taking a break works for a lot of people a lot of the time, for this person sometimes it doesn’t.

    People are different and sometimes if you are new to something, it’s helpful to see both the popular advice (take a break) and that it might not always work for some people (this poster).






  • Usually people who explain “woke” in such a manner seem to be the types who are actively hostile to LGBTQ+. There are a few LGBTQ+ people who do make it their entire identity instead of one facet of themselves and I understand how annoying that can be, but at this point I’m a lot less likely to believe “this is someone who turns ‘How is the weather today?’ with a stranger into a trans rights discussion” and more likely to believe “this person just hates trans people and is trying to frame the trans person poorly so I resent the trans person and not them.”

    Adult woman checking in. Aside from the feet in the air, this is my preferred programming posture! I hold this position easily for hours before getting sore elbows.

    I am also small and a young adult not too many years away from teenagerhood. I hope your comment never becomes true for me with age. Looks like as long as I just maintain weight I should probably be safe, my shoulders are not getting any wider any time soon.




    1. What does my project do?
    2. Can I express that in a concise way?
    3. Can I make it cutesy and memorable? Maybe with a fun acronym or alliteration?

    If I can’t come up with anything I like, this is one of the only few areas in my life where I am comfortable asking AI. I am also very bad at names. But you already did that step, so sorry that that is not too helpful!




  • Getting certain programs to work on my Linux machine does take extra time as opposed to if it were Windows, but it’s counterbalanced by all those times I’d have to look up how to get the WiFi option back and try every single thing on the list because it was never just one simple solution that worked each time… also I don’t get hit by unwanted forced updates, and now I update voluntarily without fear of even more unwanted telemetry being stuffed in there.

    But if I just wanted to browse the web, check my email, shop, and do my banking, Linux would work out of the box better than Windows 11.


  • I usually don’t, which is completely sacrilegious as a musician, but I’d rather be playing it myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    If I do bother, it is usually Broadway (have not seen that here yet!), the pop music of my childhood, classical, classic rock, or anything I have ever performed before. Around Christmastime I have a dedicated Christmas playlist which is just Christmas songs.

    50/50 if I can have music on while programming. Sometimes it becomes background noise, sometimes my brain starts focusing hard on the music and I need to not have that.
