> We certainly can’t consume our way out of the environmental crisis by buying metal straws, vegan shoes, and electric cars. But what conscious consumerism has to offer [...] is a constantly growing awareness of the impact our daily lives have on the environment: “It’s a surprisingly engaging and enriching process to think more deeply about each product that has been made or grown for us by considering the chain of events that brought it about.”

I really love plants and house plants. Also everything is a mess because when you have an infant, if you take even one day off from tidying you are under water.
The stand is 3d printed though I might work on a sturdier setup.
Elementary seems to have regressed when it comes to touchpads :/ gonna try out Pop_OS! and see if they have similar issues
Setting up windows on a laptop for work and this straight up sucks. Linux out of the box 99% of the time work better.
Seriously hard to take anyone suggesting "windows is good now" seriously. macos has serious warts but at least it works.

Re-did my personal website https://www.jasonstiebs.com/ working on a blog post for my "website generator" tool.
Slic3r’s gcode is so much smootber than Cura.

this morning I finished a long writeup of the #cyberdeck construction process across four different prototypes, starting over a year ago to the mark IV build I completed last week

Goals for the week:
- Plan my next raised bed garden
- Ship my hyper minimal website/blog engine.
This might be fixed if you run a SASS with multiple customers. But as a contractor or consultant you don't always have a choice. Especially when faced with laying off staff or working with a disgusting human.
Owning a business is in many ways freeing, and in other ways it forces you to be nice to those who give you money. Even if you despise their world views.
My only goal right now is to cut my expenses and retire early. That way I can burn every single bridge I'm forced to maintain so that I can continue to exist in capitalism and support my family.
