The tough thing with creative endeavors is that you really just need the motivation to start and continue making anything, it can be inexpensive stuff. The important thing is output and making it a regular thing.

That being said, gearing up for a new hobby is always fun if you can afford it. But you can absolutely make short films on an iPhone.

As a lifelong peanut butter cup fanatic, this initially filled me with rage. Can't stop thinking about though...

I'd rather increase my monthly donation to support lemm.ee on GitHub than see ads here

Same here, we can build this community the old fashioned way by just sharing and engaging ❤️

Same - I regularly use vim on servers when I have to, but I can only remember some super basic commands. Most of my coding is done in a basic text editor like Sublime Text or Notepad++ or an IDE.

I do get the appeal of becoming fluent in Vim or emacs and theoretically attaining giant productivity gains. Although for me at least, text editing is not where all my time is wasted. I lose my productivity the old fashioned way: attending unnecessary meetings and wasting time solving the wrong problems.

I joined lemm.ee and I'm honestly really liking it so far. @sunaurus@lemm.ee is doing a great job!

However, I'm wondering if I should create a new account on programming.dev (or somewhere else) to be closer to where data science / data engineering conversations are happening.

Or maybe there's a way to promote !dataengineering@lemm.ee to folks on other instances? (I didn't create this one but I'm hoping it's discovered by others soon)

Interesting post! I really hope you're wrong lol (I love SQL).

Thanks for sharing! I really want to get my family on Matrix now.

We have not been able to find a solid chat/video call app that the entire family (various ages and tech aptitude) can effectively use. We've been bouncing around to various apps since COVID lockdowns started. We had been using Slack for a while but the video calling in Slack is unusable now.

I'm wondering the same thing.

I am a long time signal user but I just started using Matrix yesterday and now I'm very curious about whether Signal or Matrix is better somehow in terms of security/privacy.
