@JustChapman I listen to electronic music for which singles and remixes make it impossible to keep up with using physical media.
Bandcamp would be an option, but discovering new artists is unfortunately better for me on Spotify.
I also like listening to podcasts by the labels, it helps discover new artists.
I usually follow anyone back and it's very rare that I intentionally unfollow a mutual, but I just unfollowed someone whose account I realized is primarily promoting grind culture. Absolutely not.
No, I do not have 12 working hours on weekdays and 16 more on weekends to "create wealth." Sick of this pervasive ableist, capitalist, anti-humane attitude.
"You SHOULD be able to--" no I shouldn't and I can't! That's the whole thing. Let me rest FFS.
Attal dépassé par le conflit en Nouvelle-Calédonie? Matignon rappelle que "Gaby" a travaillé sur l'Outre-Mer au cabinet de Marisol Touraine. "C'est mignon", ironise un conseiller. Curieusement, ses anciens collègues que j'ai interrogé discrètement ne se souviennent pas de son action pour les Outre-Mer. "En vérité, il ne veut pas s'en mêler pour couler Darmanin", persifle un bon connaisseur du dossier. Le sens de l'Etat, toujours...
It’s funny how minimum wage in the US is given per hour. In France it’s per month. Right now it’s ~1400€ per month after taxes, assuming a 35h workweek (french standard).
In the USA, you are only supposed to be looking forward to living for the hour. That’s it. Cross the bridge when you get done with that hour.
Oh and in France minimum wage is indexed on inflation. But not any kind, inflation measured for the 20% lowest income households.
Alright americans, go live your best rich person hour from two years ago.
Hey babe wake up, the new psoul account just dropped: @psoul.
I decided to move my #pixelfed account there as I just want push notifications for my posts, which Ivory will enable but couldn't get to work in Vernissage. I also hope the art will be more aligned with what I'm interested in: drawing, painitng, sci-fi, fantasy, photoshop, illustration, illustration, 3D modeling etc. My feel is that pixelfed, at least pixelfed.social, is very photography focused.
I’m looking at the #aurora intensity forecast and I think I missed the boat; last night was the night.
I’m missing out on 2024: no eclipse, no aurora. Lock me in a cave at this point.
@cynthiarose I’m refreshing the NOAA website every 5 minutes now thay the sun has set. I’m ready to bike up a hill.
We’re still out of the forecast zone…
They do mention though that “[During other G5 storms] aurora has been seen as low as Florida and southern Texas (typically 40° geomagnetic lat.).” #aurora#SanFrancisco
I was back at my first job at iRobot. Some manager I currently follow on linked in last night had re-hired me.
I was excited to just make money again.
Howerver, I didn’t go to work on my second day because of burnout/depression.
I didn’t go to work on my third day because of the anxiety caused by not letting my employer know what was going on.
On the 4th day I went to work. They mocked my apology when I finally talked to them. While I was gone, manager and his friend coworker stormed the corporate housing I was staying at and put all my stuff on the street. They kicked me out and kept mocking me…
And for today: unplug your laptop.
This incoming geomagnetic storm my disrupt electricity transmission. It would be a shame to run out of battery when there is now power
