So I’ve been using it intensely for a couple of days. I think it’s a very good match for what i wanted to do. (multi-doc switching + separate note taking, with color). I do have a couple of enhancement requests that I’m going to submit to the software team. Quite nice battery life for pure reading as well.

I’ll share my experiences in this community once mine arrives.

feels much better, well done to all involved!

FATE is something I’m planning to expand

Bundle Of Holding for everyone’s rpg fix :-D

Their plan is definitely to leave locations where working conditions are not in their favor. Not so lol for the people losing their jobs, though right? :-(

Also note that they reference inflation, but this ‘only’ impacts this place by means of wage cost.

I think it depends on your personal state of mind. Some people might enjoy being deconnected more and others just the additional ‘buffer’ of time around worktime.

I found that even one additional hour per day to spend on family and enjoyment was improving my work output in a way that it almost negated the one hour of worktime lost.

Thanks! I hope your Lemmy instance thrives and achieves what you intended!

I thought as much, no harm in being nice, when in doubt :-)

Hmm, sounds tasty :-) but Dutch, French or German would also work for me :-)
