    This from Larry Wall (of Perl fame) seems relevant...

    The Three Virtues [Paraphrased]

    1) #Laziness - The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure.

    2) #Impatience - Because you are impatient, you will build systems and shortcuts for your daily work.

    3) #Hubris - You have the confidence that you can do better than the status quo.

  7. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.
     
    [Ὄγδοον, ὅσῳ χαλεπώτερα ἐπιφέρουσιν αἱ ὀργαὶ καὶ λῦπαι αἱ ἐπὶ τοῖς τοιούτοις, ἤπερ αὐτά ἐστιν ἐφ’ οἷς ὀργιζόμεθα καὶ λυπούμεθα.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

  9. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Tell yourself, when you feel exasperated and out of all patience, that this mortal life endures but a moment; it will not be long before we shall one and all have been laid to rest.
     
    [ὅταν λίαν ἀγανακτῇς ἢ καὶ δυσπαθῇς, ἀκαριαῖος ὁ ἀνθρώπειος βίος καὶ μετ᾿ ὀλίγον πάντες ἐξετάθημεν.]

  18. Pulled up to the #Costco here in #Kalamazoo. They had a small gasoline spill and the staff were there treating it. The guy behind me, in a hulking giant black Denali just didn’t want to wait, so he pulled along side and menaced the staff person cleaning up the spilled gasoline. I was shocked at the #entitlement and #impatience. The staff shrugged it off. These people deserve what is coming for them. #today #misanthropy

    making my own game was always something i wanted to do but due to #laziness and #impatience, it never manifested; so, instead: i live vicariously through:

  22. Hmm, à 2 doigts d'installer #macOS #Sonoma beta public 3 sur mon Mac. J'ai commencé à utiliser les profils dans Safari sur iOS (avec la beta public d'iOS 17), et ça me manque déjà sur le Mac. Cela dit, iOS 17β, c'est encore un peu la guerre… #grupmf #impatience #beta

  23. A quotation from Austen, Jane:

    «
    Why did we wait for any thing? — why not seize the pleasure at once? — How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!

  27. Ah, well, #impatience comes quite close after the three dots behind "attachments...". so just have some patience.

    Meanwhile, do you like popcorn? It's going to be exciting to see whether Dorsey & bros get a [insert authoritarian regime]-backed sugar daddy or if they get to implode all on their own.
