Your choice. But you could go for a run instead of gaming or mow the lawn, make your front yard look nicer, start a YouTube channel or a website for some interest, learn to code and write a passion project, do some creative writing and publish your first 200 page novel; the list is endless. All of those things are work, but most things in that list are FUN. Sometimes downtime can be spent working. I spend my time reading and contributing to Wikipedia and supporting FOSS projects like this fantastic social media site! Because… this site doesn’t throw shit at me with intent to grab my attention with some advanced creepy algorithm. The code is publicly available. These fediverse socials are the only ones that aren’t extremely harmful.

You don't need gaming, it's a way to waste time.

MacBook / Linux Server combo is meta.

I ignore them. Since January 2022 I've used exclusively macOS & Linux and you can't go wrong with that. macOS for my daily driver work laptop (M1 MacBook Pro) and Arch Linux for my home server, though I do enjoy using it a lot for work and if this mac ever stops working I will definitely build a framework Linux laptop. Nothing comes close to FoSS, don't have to put up with most of this proprietary business-oriented software.

Unfortunately not too active we might need a daily discussion thread

Too many people work a 9 to 5. I sleep a 9 to 5, but 9pm to 5am.

Once a homeless beggar told me “there’s an ATM right there you selfish cunt!”

Worked a late night now I have to do it all over again. I miss the lazy Sunday’s. But oh well this will improve my life in the long run.
