🚀 Breaking News: #CodeMirror now supports #collaborative editing! 🛠️ Just kidding, it's the same old story with a "very boring" #design. 🤦♂️ Marijn spent time exploring 'interesting' ideas, only to land on the groundbreaking conclusion that... none worked. 🥱

Considering #SpeakNoEvil a #horror #movie. It’s an overstatement.
Also considering it a #drama is too much.It’s one of those #movies that every #scene is more #boring than the one before. It only becomes a good #thriller the last 30 minutes, but for that you have to spend 1 hour and 30 minutes.

“Always know that real progress is often invisible, boring, repetitive.” - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Your success will often not involve huge home runs that have you cheering with joy. It will come about through small bunts, working the bases, advancing slowly but surely towards a goal, and muttering about the pace.
Treat your progress as such.
Right now, this can be a challenge. After all, we live in a "highlight reel" culture. We see the successful keynote, the published book, or the smooth career pivot and assume that it all happened in a flash of inspiration. But in my 36-year voyage, I’ve learned that the most profound breakthroughs and the biggest wins are rarely the result of a sudden lightning bolt. They are the result of the quiet, daily discipline of showing up when it feels like nothing is changing. Playing the clubs. Putting in the work. Advancing slowly but steadily.
I did a lot of small events in rural America and small towns in Canada before I hit the big stages of Las Vegas. It was often boringly dull, excruciatingly tiring, and sometimes, with a detached audience, not terribly motivating. But through that, I learned that success is often built on "invisible progress." The small steps that get you closer to a big goal.
For me, success and learning are about the hundredth hour spent in the lab struggling with a Linux configuration.
It’s the years of writing a Daily Inspiration post without missing a single workday.
It’s the repetitive act of studying a disruptive trend long before the world notices it.
It was spending time on stages that sometimes I did not want to be on.
Most people quit during this "boring" phase. They mistake the lack of immediate feedback for a lack of progress. They want the dopamine hit of a "win" every day. But as a practitioner, you have to realize that you are building up your skills, capabilities, and knowledge.
The amateur waits for the quick hit.
The master relies on patience and effort.
Success isn't a sprint; it’s the compound interest of your daily discipline.

When Project Shortest Route got started, it had state-of-the art #boring tools but apparently no understanding of the infeasibility of drilling thru the planet. Their progress reports started out normal, but got stranger: "Day 442: We've reached the lucid zone. Day 753: The granite won't SHUT UP. Day 800: discharge material smells like buckwheat & clover." Then the reports stopped altogether. It's thought they vanished, but no one is sure as those who investigate also va

The Mad Frank's Dreams: Post 7 Mao Dreams No More
#FanFic #TheApothecaryDiaries
#Wss366 Boring #MastoPrompt VisitorBy the time Chue stirred, the simple millet congee prepared with ample, if common, vegetables had grown cold. It wasn’t prison slop. They evidently were going to treat their prisoners humanely.
She attempted to rouse Mao, who only groaned in response. To Chue’s relief, Mao’s eyes now reacted normally to light, and she drank a trickle of water poured into her mouth.
Having done everything she could to help the woman, Chue sat down and inventoried the items hidden in her robes: her flags, some candy, and a few coins. She unfurled the string of pennants and began playing with them to keep herself entertained, while thinking about how to use what she had found the next time she had #visitors.
When that grew #boring, she took a nap.
A groan from the bed woke her, and she was at Mao’s bedside in an instant.
Mao stared up in a daze, then asked, “What happened?”
“Chue thinks The Mad Frank kidnapped us. He’s been seen with Shaoh agents. The Shining Prince thought I should keep an eye on you. Chue has failed.”

It's that day of the irregular period when I break out the old bit and brace for something. Second time in the last six months, which may show that modern boring technology is failing me?
Anyway, since we can't afford a riser-recliner I'm making a heavy frame to sit the existing chair on, so it's easier to get out of. This needs two different bit sizes, so two braces ... why not? First time in twenty years I've come armed with both of them.

In response to my post about "blunt" prose. March 28th #writerscoffeeclub
Thank you @EmpyClaw I will be sure to read it as soon as I dream it up.

An amusing article regarding the enshitification of human thought and creativity. And yes, although you can’t do it from the archived copy, it is not difficult to tell the deference between AI generated quotes (hoover they were done) and the real thing.

An interesting explanation of why ‘AI’ generated prose is bland an unnatural. And that is before the other snafus. And some new phrase for my vocabulary, ‘semantic ablation’, ‘metaphoric cleansing’, ‘lexical flattening and (in this context), ‘structural collape'

The truth is, most introverts and sensitive souls are not wired for loud, fast, overstimulated lives. We thrive in simplicity. In consistency. In calm spaces that allow our nervous systems to settle. We come alive in spaces where we feel safe enough to be our full selves. A “boring” life gives us room to reflect, to feel deeply, and to live in alignment with who we actually are, not who we were told we should be.

Ah, another brave soul attempting to document the earth-shattering epiphanies gleaned from their #mundane #AI encounter. 🤖🎉 Just what the world needed: another thrilling tale of #deterministic #simulations and performance numbers, because clearly, there's a drought of mind-numbingly #boring AI #posts. 🙄📈

A riveting tale of someone accidentally #learning too much about #Linux #syscalls while playing with a #RISCV simulator—because apparently, everyone needs to know how deeply #boring the "execve" call can be! 🚀 Spoiler: it involves passing filenames, arguments, and environment variables—mind-blowing stuff, right? 🙄

Not that this is any novel observation, but I do appreciate that it did just about all the #boring stuff for me, and I don’t have a problem with computers doing boring stuff so that humans are freed up to make truly consequential decisions.
Of course that leaves a lot of room to #argue over what “boring” and “consequential” mean. The process and the outcome of that societal discussion are definitely consequential!

Sometimes, being a #Temp has its advantages.
One of them is that I can or rather could tell the #Boss of the #Company who borrowed my #Workforce that I'm not suitable for the #Job, and leave anytime without consequences.
Another is that I don't have to search for work at the place myself. If there's nobody who is capable of showing me what to do or better how to do the task, I'm getting #Paid for just sitting around.

Last night's semi final in the #RWC2023 was #boring and #predictable
So I suspect today's game will be also. Not a great advert for the game and it's ruling authorities.
Maybe there will be some questions as to why the draw took place so early?Why the two tier nations aren't treated equally? and why some of the decisions taken favoured the established teams.
The two quarter final games were the best advert for the game - pity they weren't the semi final matches or even the final.
