    I have been existing in a superposition of both of these states for a few years and really like it.

    During the day I’m a senior engineer on embedded c/c++ stuff. During free time at home I dig in the dirt and build shit and do my “farm chores” like tending to my koi pond. Feels good man.

    I think most people would agree that fresh air, exercise, hobbies, and personal goals are good for your body and mind. It’s still wild when I notice it actually working.

        Your comment was auto-removed for profanity, an admin will review it and undelete it soon if there has been an error. Sorry for the inconvenience.

          Profanity is against the rules here? It doesn’t say so in the sidebar

            No, it’s not against the rules.

            It’s a proxy (albeit a poor one) for abuse, we are trying to prevent new accounts sending abusive messages.

            We are open to other solutions, but we need something, because we kept having spammers sending abusive tirades to other users.

            Please reach out to Spyro@programming.dev if you have any better ideas.

            I believe it is instance-level, or at least that is what I saw in another thread (the instance mods can filter that)

            We don’t like it either, but we don’t have much choice.

            It is to prevent abusive messages from new accounts, and it is a poor solution.
