Sent to my state representative. Thanks!

This thing just never worked for me. As in, the product was broken in several ways all of the time.

People try to be overachievers by exceeding expectations and then are often late or delivering a broken product.

It's hard to tell perfectionists not to be perfectionists though.

Sounds like TRRRRRRS

I am not remembered for the technology I put in place, the tickets I close or the outages I help remediate.

But when I left a job I'd been at for 5 years, I found again that I am remembered for how I make people feel when I interact with them. Just by being myself, I'd been kind to a lot of people who really needed to hear kindness, and I helped a lot of people get started when they were struggling.

What I do in the digital realm will disappear decades before those people forget who I am.

Or just use PlayOn to record your shows.

We're all the way back to recording movies from TV with our VCR.

Notifications get rolled up all the time, if I've received a lot of messages in Signal or Teams, I just have one notification in the dropdown for each group, even though I may have "received" 50 notifications from that group.

On emails, reply-chains are prevalent, so I can read the latest one and usually not have to open 20 emails.

I have some services set to email me events, transactions, and notifications, which I don't need today. However, sometimes these sites go offline, discontinue a product, remove the ability for you to view prior information or contributions, archive old data, change their ToS to something you can't stand, any number of things that might mean that data is now unreachable to you. So for those emails I just sort them off and they're archived.

My stats say my phone gets ~140/day. I definitely ignore 99% of them, just like my 10k+ unread emails.

I got some old celeron N4100 4gb RAM/128gb NVME Thinkpad 11Es for $50ea with the power adapters. With as useful as they've been, I'm sold on doing something like that in the future.

I've definitely used WP in that manner as well. At that time there were plugins that would render the pages out to static HTML in object storage. I'm sure there still are, but possibly not the same ones I used.

I just prefer not to use or manage WP whenever possible.

That's pretty impressive! I hope they can keep up the momentum at Asahi.

All of these and then some.

A small part is that I'm supporting the underdog.

It's not created by a company that sells ads.
