How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 18 hours ago

Yes, fully agreed! Yeah at the moment I need to save money, but working less, like 80% seems like a great thing. If one works 80% then one can rotate the days so every other week is a 4-day weekend. Luckily I have no co-dependants at least

Thanks for the book rec but as I mentioned in other comments, I know that there won't be a job which I'll enjoy doing 8 hours a day for the rest of my life. I even enjoy my current job sometimes, but I still rather be without it if it was possible. And I've also tried different sectors already... Either way, I'll check out the book.

Can't say I have large issues with my job tbh. It's fine. I sometimes even enjoy it. But yeah, I'd rather not have a job at all if the world was made like that.

For sure. I have a steady meditative practice, but still, it takes a long time to change one's mind and it's easy to forget...

I don't really hate my job to be honest. It's just that, no matter what I'd do for pay, it will never be anything I really want to do. I'd rather spend my spare time pursuing whatever studies, hobbies, exercise or random leisure I really want to do. Capitalizing on your interests doesn't lead to anything good, at least for me. People always say, "try to find your dream job!" but for some people, there will never be. Because capitalism and 40 hour work weeks are unnatural in itself. But yes, mindfulness and meditation is key, still.

You know, before work and everything starts again... sometimes I feel like I'm obsessed with min-maxing my weekend because of the limited time I have. So I usually feel quite guilty if I end up slacking too much. And I tend to be quite aware of how much time I have left. Anyone else that has this issue?

Greek yoghurt with stuff. Because I can. (And am lazy)

It looks really good. Always glad to see these kind of publications still existing.

France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. in c/technology@lemmy.world

A reminder that the people voting for these laws do not understand technology. They don't get it. Yes, this law sucks, but even if it passes, I'd be really surprised if it was actually enforceable.

Borrowing e-books in the EU just became a lot more complicated as libraries move to closed ecosystems in c/technology@lemmy.world

Apparently many libraries, including the ones in my country, are moving over to a system where you're not allowed to digitally download the epub file anymore. You're only allowed to borrow the book, and read it, in a closed ecosystem: an app. This per definition then excludes the majority of e-ink readers that don't run Android. This is due to Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on the accessibility requirements for products and services (Text with EEA relevance) (source) entering into force June 28 this year.

As the Adobe DRM solution hasn't been updated for years, it isn't capable of fulfilling all the requirements that this law lays out without endangering the DRM solution. Text-to-speech is one function that isn't fully supported by Adobe for example. This means that there are apparently two directions to go for full compliance, Readium DRM which is barely supported as well or a closed app ecosystem.

This is frustrating on so many levels, especially if I would like to borrow an ebook in my native language that isn't available elsewhere on the web, which is often the situation for books in my language (and I'm guessing most languages outside of English). The alternatives left is borrowing a physical copy, or buying it.

The enshittification of everything continues...

How and where do you watch shows and movies? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

On the couch by the TV, in a chair by your desktop, on your bed with a laptop..? I usually prefer sitting by the couch by the TV and don't really get how people can just survive having a laptop, or to sit in an uncomfortable chair by one's desktop.

How's it going for centralized reddit-like platforms like Tildes, Discuit, Squabblr? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As someone else mentioned here, these other centralized platforms often advertise heavily on subreddits like /r/RedditAlternatives, and they do seem to have some people on there. Does anyone know if they are attracting a lot of people or why people prefer to join other centralized sites before joining e.g. Lemmy? Are they a "threat" to the growth of fediverse platforms like Lemmy, Mbin or just experiments that'll fail sooner or later?
