Interesting. I’m not sure I want fully decaf coffee, but I could see some people might want it.

I metabolize caffeine quickly. So I’m one of those that can drink coffee and it doesn’t affect my sleep. I never get hyped up from it. Never have, even when I first started drinking it. But I am addicted. I get the classic headaches if I don’t have it. So it might be nice to taper off caffeine.

If I were to become wealthy enough to have this luxury, I would probably goof off and video game the first month. I say this because it’s what I used to do when I was in school and had summers off.

After the boredom kicks in, my brain usually shifts to more creative endeavors. I imagine I’d do some of the projects I used to love. Calligraphy, creating my own language, photography, astrophotography, light gardening, travel to see museums, hiking, visit parks, read, wood working and carving, small projects around the house. Oh wouldn’t it be grand!

He’s adorable!

I'll believe it when I see it. I remember as a kid reading popular science magazine. We were supposed to have flying cars and be working 20 hour workweeks by now because automation and efficiency would give us more free time. Instead, it drove down wages and made people have to find a way to scrape together even more hours of work to try to pay the bills.

Oh my, does he need a lot less UV than a typical beardie? I've heard that these guys are hard to properly keep because of their sensitivity. I have a leatherback, but her needs are more typical.

Dang, now I want brownies too. hahaha! Awesome work.

mouth open...looks like he's got that gecko attitude!

I intend to stay here on beehaw. It will take me a while to get over the habituated behaviors I had with reddit, but the quality of the posts over here is high. I don't feel like voices are getting drowned out over here. So reddit won't miss me. Over time, I won't miss reddit. All good things must end.

Now time to enjoy watching how new communities and the software driving Lemmy develop.

That's my thought too. Even before this, I felt like I was reading automated posts and chat bot responses on reddit. It seems like a zombie forum where most of the "people" weren't really real, it was just recycled content, laugh tracks, and being force fed content posted by reddit itself (versus users) scraped from other places.

I'm having issues with it too. I think the massively increased load must be causing the interface to misbehave. Nothing like finding all the bugs when volume is high. fun!

Anyway, I tried yesterday to find a post/thread that I'd commented in. No amount of sorting in that community was bringing it up. I could only find it by following the comment link in my profile. So right now, I have the feeling that I'm missing a good bit of content while also seeing older popular content still dominating my feed. I'm hopeful that they've noticed these issues and will see how they can rectify them eventually.

Y'all have done a wonderful job. I'm in this for the long haul. I've donated once and will again. I think I'll set up a recurring one this time.

I work in tech in a financial aid office. We regularly get slammed with last minute changes from the govt with little details on how they need to be implemented. So we deal with high volume, high detail (because money is involved as is auditing), and high intensity/speed. It's an ugly mix. I feel like y'all could be in a similar boat. All I can offer is hang in there. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. We support you and I bet you'll discover some crazy talent in these communities that has the intellect, time and energy to help out.

Interesting times to say the least.

I think I'm running into a few bugs too. Nothing like putting a system under strain to discover all the kinks that aren't quite worked out yet. I figure lots of things work fine until you put enough load on them.
