@Catwoman69y2k I've concluded that much of the "join xyz platform for updates" mentality comes from the one-two punch of both web browsers ditching RSS and Atom and Google ditching Google Reader.

Say a free software project maintainer writes a development blog. The audience may or may not already have an RSS reader installed. This means the project maintainer might feel responsible for recommending a reader application for all 7 major platforms (Windows, macOS, desktop Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome extension, Firefox extension). Otherwise, people will land on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_feed_aggregators and experience analysis paralysis.

I guess one disadvantage of protocols is that platforms have tended to do better at landing pages than protocols. Is there a page to which a blogger can refer visitors who have never used RSS before?

Though be warned - they are known to wear many disguises.

You know, there are a bunch of noting systems for Emacs - vanilla org-mode, org-roam, denote, org-gnosis (the odd one out - used for spaced repetition), but too much choice leads to analysis paralysis. :cirnoCry:

There’s a delivery delay for the aida cloth I ordered, so instead of stitching, I’m still on my phone, favoriting patterns

All I really wanted was something to do besides doom scrolling and instead the project I initially wanted to make has changed about 1000 times and I’m starting to freak out about the thing I wanted to do so I wouldn’t freak out

#AnalysisParalysis #CrossStitch

So recently I was having some #AnalysisParalysis with my #Games collection. Those I own, those I wanted to play, those I haven't finished yet, and missing trophies too. It was like 3 or 4 days stuck like that 😭

Watching a video about it on YouTube of Healthy Gamer GG gave me some insight about the issue and ways of reducing that kind of symptoms.

Mainly I reduced my options, lowered my attachment to my #PS3 and gave myself a longer time limit for completing my objectives, to reduce the anxiety

Every time I think about joining a #peertube instance, I start looking at hosting my own. Then I start thinking that's just overkill for my needs (but could be fun). Then I just go back to not using it at all. #analysisparalysis

@NeanderthalPride
#Writing novels when #ActuallyAutistic

Structural Editing Woes & Mission creep - things go off at tangents.

I think too much about back story then desperately want to include it all when there's too much material already.

I end up with chapters that could combine in any order, rather than flowing in 1 purposive direction.

I then enter #AnalysisParalysis trying to order multiple timelines, PoVs, sub-plots, scenes, chapters & character+thematic arcs.

Too many variables!! 🙄🤯

@HipsterDM it could have been worse. There could have been TWO doors, and the group had to decide which to go through. #analysisparalysis

On spot... #waterfall #analysisparalysis

I might never get to play #BaldursGate3 ... if my group doesn't make it through character planning & creation.

4 hours and counting.

Good grief. 😳

#AnalysisParalysis

@iain Same in our group, that's why we allway play at our place.
I will post of cause, but first I have to learn how to teach this monster and than need the time to play. :) We take our time while playing and (some of us) are keen to #AnalysisParalysis - that will be fun. 🤣

Took down the old card table #electronics #workbench and put up a dining room table version. Not at all in the final state, especially the megajanky power situation. But I've learned over the years that the only way to avoid #AnalysisParalysis is to Just Do Something (#adhd)

The empty builtin bookshelves will also be filled in pretty short order.

Uh oh, trying to build a personal website (separate from my #blog) and am now on hour 2 of trying to pick out a #StaticSiteGenerator. Have gone from Hugo to Eleventy to Next.js to Gatsby with no end in site.

I just want a basic site that includes a resume subpage - why am I making this so difficult?!?!

#AnalysisParalysis

Does anyone have strong feelings one way or the other about getting the DJI remote without the built-in display vs the one with it?

I have an iPhone 12 Max Pro which has better screen brightness than the remote (820 nits vs 700 nits). So aside from faster setup, what’s the draw?

#drones #dji #AnalysisParalysis

Wife ran headlong into the #Mastodon #instance #AnalysisParalysis effect (not sure if there's a better term for the hopefully-short-term variant of this which is more "all the free instances are falling over") & decided to just go join #cohost instead.

Wonder what'd be less effort to create/maintain: a 2-person Masto server, or a 1-person Masto-to-Cohost bridge? 🙃

damn i think i get why everyone on the webside keeps using framework.

The #AnalysisParalysis is real if you wanna start form zero, but the key is to just make a div on the page. It's just a program. Like any other

but we build things from zero (some relative zero at least) all the time, what could there be to building a web app without relying on any framework?

I have so many things I’d love to code, like finally finishing Crafting Interpreters or writing my own Redis server or writing a program that generates mazes or raytraces an image but it’s really overwhelming 😖😖😖

Edit: oh, and how could I forget the humble text-to-speech bot?! Which I actually did start working on a little bit here: https://github.com/heyajulia/say-bot

#Programming #AnalysisParalysis

Going to start a new show and wait for the BF to make me start it over. Or maybe finish my Downton Abbey rewatch. Or start one of my latest library reads. Though I should probably eat something. Not supposed to live on coffee and seltzer alone. #AnalysisParalysis

Cute song about #anxiety and #AnalysisParalysis

I should follow its advice… :x

for the last 3+ weeks i’ve been working with a self-wielded sword of damocles at my own throat, because i could not stand the way the company i work for was treating its developers.

today i feel redeemed. the powers that be finally seem to recognize from whence their powers derive (hint: it’s devs) and are starting to come around to how to work with us.

bottom line is: align yourself with the people who want to #GetShitDone, and not the people in love with #AnalysisParalysis.

but heck, #ymmv

Many #Microsoft #Windows users often find themselves:
- Frustrated by awkward, confusing, repetitive, or time-consuming workflows.
- Disappointed with the user interface and its limited customization options.
- Wishing they could just install #MacOS or #Linux on their machine, but can't because of hardware or policy constraints.

There are thousands of custom apps, #ShellScripts, #RegistryHacks, and other tweaks out there which we can use to make Windows more intuitive, faster, easier on the eyes, and tailor it precisely to our individual whims.

But part of the problem is that there are so many options! How do we know which ones to use? Which ones are safe to install? Stable? Actively maintained? Supported by a thriving user community? 🤯 Welcome to #AnalysisParalysis; Having too many options is roughly equivalent to having no options at all.

Fortunately, #LinusTechTips has a video that covers 95% of the mods I recommend to every Windows user. Check it out:
