Totally relatable! As you already pointed out, it’s the “a day” part. I like listening to the radio but I talked to a former car radio tester who said that his car radio is never on and he enjoys the silence. It’s one thing to do stuff you like when you want to, maybe even binge, and another to have a schedule.

I started programming at school and when I studied computer science, another student asked me after the first semester what I’m going to program on vacation. I stared at them and said I have vacation. Now I programm full time and barely in my free time.

“The Dawn of Everything”

It’s a thick one but it’s worth it because it gives you a whole different view on history

“Nothing is fun 8 hours a day” isn’t an advice but at least it’s true

Disagreement is maybe best communicated by the absence of an upvote?

There is a quote “You can not not communicate” but on the internet you can. If I get no upvotes, I don’t know if no one has seen it or people actively ignored it and it’s a bad advice to feel disagreed on when no upvotes.

I personally feel frustrated when I get downvotes but no comments because I don’t know why I’m downvoted. Some instances here in the lemmyverse (like mine) don’t have downvotes enabled so I don’t even see downvotes.

I think it’s best to engage in a conversation if you disagree in a constructive way and downvote without comment if you feel this is beyond help.

Holy hell

Linguistic humor. I know it exists in the lemmyverse but it’s not active

I’d still very much like to HIDE threads I’m not interested in. Otherwise, no matter what stream I choose (Subscribed | Local | All), I keep seeing the same topics, and it can be downright difficult paging through streams to see new stuff from more communities. That’s not good, frankly.

1. You can choose a sorting algorithm. If you sort by “New” you get the new stuff but you can also sort by active, new comments, … to get variation.

2. At least in Jerboa, there is the account setting “Show Read Posts”.

I hope that’s helpful. I’m pretty sure it exists but I haven’t found a history function. I’d like to have a list of the last posts I’ve visited.

For Context: I live in the United States of America.

It’s so cool that you say that! Most Americans just assume they are the default and don’t have to say where they are from.

For Context: I live in Europe

Wouldn’t “most comments” be the obvious choice? I never did that but isn’t it what OP wants?

Edit: I’ve tried it and it shows posts that are weeks old which makes sense. Maybe “most comments per day” would be cool but for now, “most comments” isn’t that useful

Can you elaborate?

Gendern ist meiner Ansicht nach Symbolpolitik die dazu führt dass man sich ewig daran reibt statt über die wichtigen Themen zu reden oder das Gefühl vermittelt bekommt, schon genug zu machen wodurch die wichtigen Themen auch nicht angegangen werden. Natürlich kann das eine zum andern führen und ich habe auch nichts dagegen. Ich sehe nur keinen großen Sinn, grade mit Blick auf Länder die nicht in unserem Sinne gendern und trotzdem in Sachen Gleichberechtigung vorne sind.

Wir hatten am Frauentag eine Betriebsversammlung, die eine Frau sinngemäß mit den Worten eingeleitet hat: “ist ja schön, dass wir so viel gendern, lieber wäre es mir aber, wir würden wirklich was für Gleichberechtigung tun.”
