The tough thing with creative endeavors is that you really just need the motivation to start and continue making anything, it can be inexpensive stuff. The important thing is output and making it a regular thing.

That being said, gearing up for a new hobby is always fun if you can afford it. But you can absolutely make short films on an iPhone.

Woww I had a CD-ROM of Lemmings and I always felt so sad for the lil guys. Thank you for sharing that link!

As a lifelong peanut butter cup fanatic, this initially filled me with rage. Can’t stop thinking about though…

wwwwwwwwwwwwwhAT’RE YOU DOING HERE STUART?!

Double King

I don’t know why this is cracking me up so much 🤣

Same here, we can build this community the old fashioned way by just sharing and engaging ❤️

Commenting! 💪

We’d like to go ahead and offer Janus the job right meow 👨‍💼🤝😺

Same - I regularly use vim on servers when I have to, but I can only remember some super basic commands. Most of my coding is done in a basic text editor like Sublime Text or Notepad++ or an IDE.

I do get the appeal of becoming fluent in Vim or emacs and theoretically attaining giant productivity gains. Although for me at least, text editing is not where all my time is wasted. I lose my productivity the old fashioned way: attending unnecessary meetings and wasting time solving the wrong problems.

needs a little of this

Working great! And Jerboa too.

@sunaurus@lemm.ee Thank you so much for all of the hard work you’re putting in here!

This makes sense - still getting my feel for how this works!

This is great 😂

I am down to talk about anything honestly - but just off the top of my head right now:

Can you think of a good analogy to explain databases to complete beginners?

The ole ‘filing cabinet’ analogy is used a lot but I am looking for something fresh. The students will be epidemiologists / public health people that are very science literate but not necessarily tech-savvy.

Wow I am oblivious & just realized this is humor! my bad - this is great content

Interesting post! I really hope you’re wrong lol (I love SQL).

Seems confusing to me too - but yeah hoping the Reddit replication noise drops off here after the API changes (and that everyone moves to Lemmy!)

Same exact experience for me. It hasn’t been too difficult to pick up the Lemmy basics. I only ever lurked on Reddit and here on Lemmy I’m trying to be more of an active participant.

The Jerboa app not working due to the lemm.ee server not being upgraded to v18 was confusing at first - but then I found the conversations going on and I understand why we haven’t upgraded yet. I’m patiently just using the lemm.ee website directly.

Go scream at the top of your lungs somewhere loud like a busy highway overpass. Weirdly works!

Similar situation here - working in data and struggling to turn off the thoughts! I’m going to try meditation too.
