If bluesky seems a bit "dead" to you, check in your feed settings that you don't have the minimum likes turned up to see replies.
If you have that on, you're going to be missing the most recent comments that haven't accrued likes yet

A gouache painting, with the various parts of the process to figure out values and composition. Colours were a bit muddy but I'm mostly happy with it.

Got this Epomaker Skyloong SK61 off eBay so now I have 2 cute keyboards 😍
Stock sound was horrible but o rings seems and the new keycaps seem to have improved it quite a bit already. Might invest in new switches at some

So yeah, might drop the web blog for now and focus on skilling up in deep learning / Python for data science etc. With family and fulltime job I only have a few hours a day to myself to do these things so have to choose wisely

My gripe with web dev is that the tools seem to get outdated at lightning speed. Like the course I was doing was only like 2 years old and so much was undoable because outdated. So if I don’t use this in my day to day, it’s a pain to improve and potentially irrelevant on short term anyway

I want to continue working on my blog and have something for myself, but I can’t help but lose motivation…
Because I went back to work & truly love my job, it consumes all my thoughts 🙃It’s amazing to apply the Python x ChatGPT 4.0 x Probability Theory x Data Analysis combo. It’s coming together

Please Xandra listen to yourself, learning is good - but sometimes you need to learn the easy things first before you try to tackle 5 hard things at the same time
It’s important to get the reps in, don’t try to lift 500kg out of the gate

I wonder how many people in ancient history that got exiled managed to live a low key life with their community still 🤔Or just moved somewhere warmer. Was it a blessing in disguise?

Failing utterly on my exercise goals. How on earth did I do it last time?! I feel like all my extra energy is being sucked up by learning to code this time. Though technically there should still be time to just fit in 3 * 30 mins a week. It’s not the logistics it’s the mental power is spent 😩

Meta launch a competitor to Bluesky in 2 days.
"Threads", the app will grow rapidly due to the direct pipeline from Instagram.
Media is touting the app as another outlet for disgruntled Twitter users.
It would be in Bsky's best interest to send everyone mass invites today and make some noise. 🙃
