@vertigo Well I just moved across the country and my stuff isn't here so I haven't had much time for projects lately. If I'm posting too much political/economic content here I can try to confine that more to Facebook.
Most of the content I was seeing that was annoying/depressing me was boosts, so I've unsubscribed from a few folks' boosts to avoid needing to unfollow them entirely.
@vertigo Well maybe I can figure out how to post more project content then. Hopefully you'll find projects related to the house or to adapting to a different city/state/climate interesting :D
@freakazoid Since it is incredibly improbable that I will ever own a home, I must live vicariously through those who do. :)
@vertigo I suppose it depends on how much you want to stay in the Bay Area. There are plenty of places in the country where housing is a lot cheaper relative to available salaries. Especially when you count remote roles. I'm making the same as I made in the Bay Area, and I'm about to be interviewing for remote roles that pay significantly more.
@vertigo @ajroach42 has been posting regular project updates, incidentally!
@freakazoid @vertigo Thanks for the hat tip. Some recent projects:
- Making videos way too small: https://retro.social/@ajroach42/107595166462917351
- Jumbo hand made toys: https://retro.social/@ajroach42/107584598058013935
- Exploring newly public domain music: #PDMusicList
Lots of other small and medium sized projects in the works (#jupitersGhost, repairing and upgrading a vintage omnibot, robo sumo, building TVs and scifi props, #spacelarpcafe)
@freakazoid Understandable; moving is a major time-sink. :)
But, just to be clear, I'm not ask for curtailment of political/economic content. If it's relevant to you, then I argue you should continue to post it.
My comment is just me reflecting on how the times are changing, really.
