how's your week going, Beehaw
  • Bit rough. I’m doing the job of about 3 people this week as colleagues on leave. Lots of questions I don’t know the answer to and trying to catch the important things and let other stuff go. Time-boxing the day as much as possible and trying to draw strict lines between work and home.

    Forced myself to leave the office and take a walk for lunch.

    Hopefully I can sleep and not worry too much before it’s rinse repeat, tomorrow.

  • Why do people not hire experts?
  • I wouldn’t consider myself to be an expert, but I have a niche skillset, coupled with knowledge in a specific key industry.

    There are probably only a handful of people with this particular combination of skill and sector.

    It doesn’t make me especially special, but it is niche enough to make non-compete clauses post-contract, unenforceable.

    Other people think I’m an expert but I’ve seen enough to know I’m not.

  • McConnell appears to freeze while speaking with reporters in Kentucky
  • Not weighing in on opinions about the fella as I’m British and ‘not my politician’ but, just showed this to my wife who is a specialist in geriatrics for the NHS and she said she’d refer him for a scan querying either a vascular event or vascular dementia.

    Best distro to start with

    Hi!

    I’m a long time Mac user, but I want to set up a laptop or mini desktop (something not too old but powerful enough for image editing, really just for photography workflow), and try a Linux distro with FOSS tools for this purpose. I’m done with Adobe.

    I’d like to scale one day to having a NAS of some kind.

    I’ve experimented with Ubuntu before but it felt a little noddy, I just didn’t like it. Any recommendations? I’d like something with a decent community that would tolerate my noob questions.

    Many thanks.

    What's the best Android/iPhone app for Lemmy?
  • I third Memmy, but the amount of times I’ve gone to close a comment thread and it’s brought up the new comment dialog. And I can’t rotate an image to landscape, had no idea how often I did that. Still, old Apollo habits die hard. It’s a great contender.

  • What is a website everyone should know about?
  • One of my favourites is newsnow.co.uk.

    Browse with an adblocker. It’s brilliant for aggregating news from a huge variety of sources, and the facets/filters allow for some powerful searches.

    Please visit it. I don’t want it to die because I love it so much.
