Steady steady rain in #Bywong.
No lunar eclipse, but masses of little froggies moving about in the night, looking for their next damp home. Will do an eclipse another time. the rain is absohoppinglutely marvellous.
There's nothing quite like overflowing the last #watertank in the string. I can loiter endlessly under the shower. I could learn Italian.#amphibians #frogs #eclipse #KristinaOlsen #wastingTime #blessedAreTheRoofmakers #canberra

Late ’90s Nostalgia: Wasting Time Drops Anthemic New Melodic Punk Single “Ripped Blue Jeans”
Photo by Jonathan SohnToronto’s melodic punk lifers Wasting Time are back with their new single, “Ripped Blue Jeans,” out December 12th via People of Punk Rock Records. The track is a nostalgic rush of anthemic hooks that captures the heart-on-sleeve energy of the late ’90s punk era, echoing the honesty and grit of bands like Alkaline Trio and No Use for a Name. Serving as the first taste of their upcoming full-length, Are You Out Of Your God Damn Mind?, the single is a reminder of a simpler time, before algorithms, soundtracked by sweat, stale beer, and powerful melodic pop-punk.

Do you know what I really want?
ONE BUTTON to turn of ALL AI assistants on my damn computer. Every single one. With one press of a button, rather than doing it for every single program or site separately, and doing it again, and again, and again, after every single fucking update or restart.

OK, @nextcloud, I gave up: Re-uploading my 25 GB of data on a fresh installation. Let's hope, you're more reliable without the baggage from a migration from a previous @ownclouders (that might have had their own unnoticed problems already). 🤞

This sentence in the morning affirmation by @nlowell upthread caught my eye as so universal and familiar: "So much to do and the day slips through my fingers like water." A lot of water thus flows under the bridge.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
It is better to lose health like a spendthrift than to waste it like a miser. It is better to live and be done with it, then to die daily in the sick-room.

Essay (1878-04), “Æs Triplex,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 37Sourcing, notes: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

We have a new machine.
I'm setting up SQL-Server.
That's not for someone short on time, it seems.I'm applying the old "mouse over the progress-bar" trick to see if anything's changed over the last 30 minutes ...

My experience of avoiding #Mastodon for a whole week 💪
I figured out that timelines are really bad. They trap you in this weird slot-machine-like game where you pull the lever over and over again.
Timelines are polluted with interesting topics and unimportant posts. A perfect mix for gambling.
You barely hit something good, but if, you get a small dopamine boost, which holds for a few seconds and as soon as it's gone, you keep pulling the lever over and over again, until you wasted a lot of time or fall asleep being exhausted of scrolling.
There is nothing social in timelines. It's only an invention of big tech corps to keep you on their platforms to consume more ads and get more data to sell.
Even if timelines are in order on the fediverse and not manipulated by algorithms, like those from #facebook #twitter or #instagram, it still has it's flaws.
A good solution would be to only show the content of a person I follow, who uses a specific hashtag I follow, too. Both should match, not only one of it. The timeline would be very short and not as long as it normally is, which is a problem, too, because if someone posts something at a wrong time, the post goes into the void without anyone seeing it.
Why are #timelines a thing in the #fediverse?
Wasn't the fediverse something without ads and for the people and because it tried to be social?
Why do we have those #addictive and #notsocial mechanisms here?
If someone knows a better system or tool, which is content based and more social, please let me know.
btw. my #productivity went up the last week a lot, because the very first thing I did in the morning was something useful, like working in the garden, working on the next youtube video, reading a book or learning. With social media I would've wasted the time scrolling and that's only what happened in the morning! Imagine the rest of the day being as productive as those mornings...

Will I be able to avoid Mastodon for a whole week?
Bets are open! 🎲
The last weeks I figured out that I often didn't check off the tasks I planed for a day and after checking my tracker*, I figured out that I am using #Mastodon longer and longer.
In general I don't get #addicted to social media and even help others to get rid of it or reduce it. I fight #entertainingmedia and even wrote articles about it in a blog series called #cleandopamine (https://utopify.org/clean-dopamine-journey-to-the-good-happiness-bringers.html)
But now it looks like, I lost control!
And as a #punishment I will block Mastodon on all of my devices and go #coldturkey for a week.
I will comment on this #poll as soon as I am back. So I hope it will be next Saturday 🙂
Let's do this 💪
* = I've coded my own #tracker years ago, which is simple to activate. After I sit down in front of my PC, I hit a key combination, choose an activity and a timer starts, which is shown in the status bar and after I stop the time, it gets added into a database (The starting process is done in 2 seconds, try this on a smartphone...).
I do this for years to see, which activity needed the most time, how long I worked on important projects and where I wasted time.
Currently the numbers for #socialmedia are too high!
