Still very cool to think about
And thank you for the app link, if I ever get flexible enough hours I wonder if that sleep schedule would help my somewhat unhealthy relationship with sleep
I definitely agree some of the issues they cite are more complicated than they need to be
It would be awesome to base schedules around sunrise (especially sleep, your routine sounds very nice), but the wild variance the further you go from the equator might make that unruly.
Depending on the time of year my schedule would “shift” around multiple hours due to latitude, people in (southern) Norway would have to shift around 6ish hours, all the way to the extreme arctic circle where the sun doesn’t rise/set depending on season
I think I could adapt where I live, but I feel like “time of day” would lose all meaning without also knowing time of sunrise, whereas right now I can be reasonably certain how “active” the world is in any given timezone at 9:00 or 23:00
It is definitely interesting to think how different it would be to base everything around sunrise (you’d never really say let’s meet at x time, it would always be relative to sunrise), I just struggle in thinking people would be able to break the routine of relying on nice round numbers for time
As much as timezones are a pain (I’m a programmer who recently finished working on an international calendar for an app), I don’t think getting rid of timezones is a great idea. https://qntm.org/abolish
I think a much better goal would be getting rid of daylight savings. THAT causes so much headache for little reason nowadays

I guess my concern is that as a user who created their account on programming.dev, it feels like it’s coming out of nowhere. I like browsing the communities here, I hadn’t seen the original post on the other instance before this thread, and if I had missed this thread this whole instance would just disappear seemingly randomly.
I’m a programmer by trade and by hobby so when creating my account I went with “the programming instance.” Now I’m hearing that because of a thread on a different instance (lemmy.ml) this instance is defederating with programming.dev.
I get that you can migrate to another instance, but if decisions on defederation can be made based on the actions of one person this could definitely happen again, and I don’t make a habit of following an instance admin to make sure I agree with everything they say. It seems exhausting and unsustainable to constantly check other instances for inter-instance conflicts just to see the communities I like/want to be a part of
It’s a great feature, but the “inter-instance politics” of it are exhausting.

I get that you can migrate to another instance, but given how this is going how can I be sure this won’t happen again and I’d lose access to instances out of nowhere? It seems unsustainable to constantly check other instances for inter-instance conflicts just to see the communities I like
I agree with separating from different minded groups, but these are the words of one person who set up the instance who definitely doesn’t speak for the “programming group.” I feel like action could be taken against the individual without basically punishing the entire instance
I have no idea, but that would be pretty cool
The PDF multitool I’ve been using is Stirling-pdf, which has support for adding/removing passwords
Funny enough, I also learned about this tool from a previous edition of this newsletter haha
You can even hook up tachiyomi to your home stuff through something like komga as another source
I let syncing run in the background all the time, the app has a ton of settings to configure when it runs so it respects battery/data usage
Android reports the app has used less than 1% of my battery in the last 19 hours
Just waiting for the achievement reenabling mod so I can play with some of the real nice QoL tweaks
