Only an existential crisis? What about existential crises?

Ooh, which drawing app did you use for this?

Oh! Hey, it is cool! Sorry to have rained on that, it was a fault in how I was reading it more than the way you wrote it, I think

I'm confused on your use of "but" here; are you aware you can do likewise within Mastodon (and in some more interesting ways, Misskey & its forks) and third-party apps without another tool (Skyfeed) or any coding? Regardless, I agree that custom feeds have a lot of potential, albeit I've not found many that demo it yet.

Oh! Duh! I knew I was forgetting something. Yeah, Windows/Android.

Apart from the HackerNews sort, wouldn't this also be feasible with a list on Mastodon/Akkoma/Misskey of news accounts (unofficial and official)?

While Lemmy doesn't have enough people for each product category yet, have you checked out the community [email protected]?

There's also [email protected] for broader discussion, but it's not gained much traction yet.

Anyways. I know you probably wanted a story that was more interesting than depressing, but that’s just one that really stuck with me from that point in my life there. I don’t think that’s a normal experience for a Night Auditor to have, so I wouldn’t take my experience as a reason to dissuade anyone from taking the position, but you asked for a story, and so you got one.

Even a depressing story is interesting in its own way, so I appreciate it all the same! I can see why the experience stuck with you, it's a rough situation to find oneself in for almost all involved

For those interested in discussing their job searches, did you know there's a [email protected] community? Not terribly active at the moment, but given the discussion here there seems to be some potential interest

Is Feddit.de still online? I see "Server error" when visiting...

afterthought
btw this suggestion was most in line with what I was wondering about

Any odd stories from that job?

Do you suppose most may only be half or quarter-reading too?

 

By novel I mean not emulating an existing popular platform, e.g. Lemmy-Reddit, Mastodon-Twitter, etc.

 

Would pillow fort engineering become a more serious field?

 

Emphasis on individual online space, so not a forum/federated platform, more like maybe a blog or portfolio or anything else more experimental. Suppose the full gamut of tech familiarity from unfamiliar to familiar.

Original Title:
What advice and cautionary tales would you give on setting up one's own individual online space with today's tools?

 

You see this with some apps (I think ReVanced is a popular example?) and games occasionally, and I've never been clear on how they do it.

 

Personally I find myself checking out fiction media from all over time.

Original Title:
Supposing no technical hurdles to experiencing a piece of fiction media, does when it came out influence whether you check it out?

Original was convoluted as I wanted to try to bypass convos about the technical accessibility of the media (i.e. wouldn't if I had to get a VCR or cassette player to watch/listen to/etc.).

 

This community may have been a fun mistake in hindsight, unless...?
