It's sad to think that Crapple kills this.

Looking forward to potentially trying on GNU/Linux. Do you know how it'll be packaged yet?

YouTube has been retarded for years. I remember when they did it to gun channels. Several times now. Adpocalyse. Didn't they go after Bitcoin at scale years ago too? They just keep doing the same dumb shit. Automation probably plays a role now more than ever. Could be something related to that

I think people place way too much weight on federal votes and what it says about the person who cast it. I've done it in the past.

Funny enough, I actually found similarities to concepts in some of my CS courses. Maybe some brains just do this sort of thing more naturally than others.

I don't know if this is even relevant but I'm reminded of this thing I do that I now call a practice tree.

As an example, when I want to perform a new procedure or technique with a patient at work, I'll practice in my head hundreds of times. I'll create potential problems and solve them (like branches on a tree). I've found that when I actually go to do the thing, it's as if I've already done it many times. This isn't perfect and I miss things, but this thing has benefitted me a lot in life. I do it for interviews, investing, security, planning, etc. I even have conversations in my head with myself when making decisions. It's similar to the practice tree, but as just sound sometimes. I don't know if there's a name for this, but it basically helps me look far into the future and view things from many angles. And honestly it can go too far. I only became conscious of it in my mid twenties because it was holding me back. Now I use it as a tool.

I don't know if this is a thing for most people. I suspect it isn't from my general life experience.

This is also a great example of how America will occasionally pretend to have a free market and then use it to show how free markets don't work.

That isn't our situation but yeah things can always be worse 😂

I think there's a broad misunderstanding of what multitasking actually means. Multitasking is reading a book while driving a car, not reading a book and then driving a car to a place and then reading the book again.

I guess you could read a page, drive a mile, pull over to read a page, and so on, but you're going to finish that book very slowly and take forever to get home. Neither task will get the best of you and you'll waste a ton of time and energy on the switching.

That's what multitasking actually is. There's a very real cost to slowing down, stopping, and accelerating again. That's where the losses happen.

You can change the scale and there are times when walking away to work on something else is productive (I do this when I am frustrated). But that isn't the same thing as multitasking.

Here's a common example from my own job. I'm expected to fill out a report for a specific event, but I have someone asking me to do something for a patient, and another person asking me to do something else for their patient. I can't realistically do all of this, and so I'm forced to switch gears constantly. I can prioritize and I do, but the list simply doesn't stop growing.

Ah, finally, back to this report. Where was I? Oh yeah... Type type type... "Hey, Matt, can you...?" All day, every day. And I'm leaving the job because I literally can't do it. My mistakes have massively increased and there are things I just dont do. Like I'm supposed to but I literally can't in the time and space I have so I break the rules and don't do them. This makes me feel like shit, and I just can't do what is expected (multitasking). This is the burnout.

The equivalent would be to have my manager meet with me while she's on a virtual meeting, but she doesn't. She closes her door and puts a sign on it telling people to fuck off. Because she can't actually multitask either. And I can tell you for sure that she just lets some things go too. In my case, me. I can't recall the last time I was able to secure any serious amount of time away from their meetings, and there are three of them managing me.

This is what many jobs expect, not what you're describing. They want you to be in two places at once and it's just a retarded thing that needs to die. I've had several jobs like this and they explicitly wanted the ability to multitask. Turnover and burnout is always incredibly high.

Multitasking isn't just switching between tasks either. It's attempting to do multiple things at once, with focus on each thing. Almost no one actually does this, even though many of us are good at pretending we do. All I'm saying is we should stop pretending.

Now obviously this depends. Your employer may very well have their own definition and expectations, but I think my experience is pretty broad from my research on the topic.

Although this did make me question whether I actually *need* everything in one service. River looks very nice for most of what I do that isnt loans. There is probably a loan specific product.
