@datagrok An "algorithmic timeline" like Twitter is pushing might help filter the firehose a bit, but I can't trust some piece of software to determine what's worth reading for me, so the anxiety of "missing out" would still be there. The most effective way to tackle this I've found is to just let go and disconnect from sources of input that aren't good for me. I've never ended up regretting an aggressive pruning of my following list.

@datagrok I've felt this tension in many forms, between Twitter, Mastodon, RSS feeds, or IRC channels. I'll find, say, a person posting things that interest me, or who created something I like, and subscribe to them. Then their posting rate overwhelms my rate of information intake, degrading my experience, but I feel bad about unsubscribing.

@taknamay Yeah, static type labels are definitely not addressed by these. Thought they might prove helpful. -

@taknamay Are you familiar with SRFIs 49, 105, 110 and/or 119? They all seem to address your exact issues and use-case. -

Do people have probabilistic reading or something? I swear *nobody* bothers reading anything I write before asking obvious questions. #argh -

For once, something works as intended - Konsole's no longer ignoring my locale and defaulting to ASCII. *FINALLY SOMETHING WORKS RIGHT*. In conversation from quitter.se permalink -

I just realized that Elm is bad Haskell transpiled into bad Scheme. In conversation from quitter.se permalink -

Welp, my university email is now broken for three days almost consecutively. Seriously, how am I at a 'University of Technology' again? In conversation from quitter.se permalink -

Anyone know of a replacement for the 'Add Bookmark Here' extension? It's broken in the most recent Firefox. In conversation from quitter.se permalink -

This breakage is due to version drift, which has been flagged for *a month*. I normally like Arch, but this shit is just frustrating. In conversation from quitter.se permalink -

Did I also forget to mention that Arch doesn't package gst-plugins-bad, forcing an AUR build? And that said AUR build is broken? #ofcourse In conversation from quitter.se permalink
