Just my opinion, but extra long hours, high-intensity, going hardcore... These are variations on "crunch mode", which isn't so much a shipping strategy as it is a symptom of planning and organizational failure.
It also doesn't work if you want to maintain shipping quality.

Regarding my last post. "Art isn't dead, you're just stuck watching corporate sh**" (Disney/Marvel/DC/EA Games/Blizzard/ Activision)
I was talking with a friend about it.
90% of what I consume is indie media. Bcz I learned habits that allow me to find cool indie stuff seamlessly.
But it can be hard for ppl who are used to just consume what is trending, to just go off the grid with their media.
Maybe we need something like a "manual to abandon corporate media". It could be a Zine.
Hi @Mastodon we're sure you've got a lot on, but the Oceania section of the Join Mastodon directory is very underpopulated right now! Our Kiwi mates are carrying a lot of the load for our region and I'm pretty sure their internet is based on tin cans and string.
If you take a peek at your inbox, we're in there waiting and keen to help! Chuck us on there, mate!

Bonjour
Est ce que vous connaissez une université qui a ouvert un serveur Mastodon ?
qui commence ?
To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.
For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).
"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.
There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.
It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.
Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.
And, for the lazy / #BanLawns crowd:
> Free bee housing for the lazy

> The BEST way to encourage lots of native bees in your yard is to just stop overdoing the yard work. Make a pile of stems from last year’s perennial garden somewhere in yard, and they’ll naturally break apart and be found by solitary bees — Monarda and Asclepias are some of the many perennials that are hollow. And leave dead trees (or logs) so that boring beetles do their thing and leave nice tunnels for the bees. Finally, leave some patches of your flower beds unmulched so that ground-nesting bees have some ground.

Here are some reasons why cheap mason bee houses can end up hurting bee populations. I live in Pennsylvania (USA), so some of the issues might be specific to my location. And to the species that live here, of course. Check with your local authorities for more detailed advice. 1. Nesting blocks, tubes, reeds are […]
