How do you prevent burnout at work? (beehaw.org)

I have a friend with ADHD who is struggling with burnout at work right now, and I realized the same thing has happened to me (autism) at pretty much every job I've had before my current one. After a while (a few months to a few years) the workplace politics becomes unbearable, or culture becomes too toxic, or managers straight up ignore our feedback.

So what do you do to prevent emotional burnout at work? Or have you found a job that doesn't burn you out?

Edit: Y'all, your responses are making me want to create a neurodivergent commune where we just do whatever we want.

Tesla threatened to sue buyers who resell Cybertruck without written permission by dark_stang in c/technology@beehaw.org

[-] dark_stang@beehaw.org 70 points 7 months ago

This thing was announced over 4 years ago. Tesla has been taking preorders for 4 years. It's a little late to change the agreement. Then again, I can't imagine ordering this thing 4 years ago and still wanting it after everything Elon has done.

I'm amazed at how many professionals use Macs because Apple seems to hate power users. I had to use a Mac briefly recently and was amazed to find they still don't have window snapping.

It also had no idea what to do with my monitor, couldn't even detect the correct resolution. I'm guessing if I had bought a $3000 Apple monitor it would have worked immediately. But had to dive into "advanced settings" just to set the correct resolution.

If everybody could stop using Twitter, that'd be great.

Republican Mike Johnson has secured enough votes to become House speaker by dark_stang in c/politics@beehaw.org

[-] dark_stang@beehaw.org 68 points 8 months ago

So the full Republican party supports this guy, who:

thinks gay marriage should be banned
tried to overturn the 2020 election
wants to ban abortion

Tesla now offers a $43,990 rear-wheel drive Model Y in the US by dark_stang in c/technology@beehaw.org

[-] dark_stang@beehaw.org 49 points 9 months ago

With all the issues Tesla has (poor build quality, lying about range, blatant racism in factories, Union busting, Elon) I don't know why anybody would buy one. There are several better options at this price range.

Anybody else having this issue (attached screenshot). Landscape mode is fine. I'm guessing this is an upstream issue. Text alignment is all over the place.

Anyone else want to just want to abandon society and go live in a commune? by dark_stang in c/chat@beehaw.org

If you can find one that isn't a weird sex cult, let me know.

Amazon CEO reportedly told remote employees: ‘It’s probably not going to work out’ - The Verge by dark_stang in c/technology@beehaw.org

[-] dark_stang@beehaw.org 155 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

When COVID hit and the company I was with at the time went 100% remote, upper management discovered our productivity went up. That same company started forcing people back into the office as soon as they could. Watching a team of executives intentionally harm their company and try to justify it was wild. It wasn't about being profitable, it was about control for controls sake.

AMD Announces The Radeon RX 7700 XT & RX 7800 XT Graphics Cards (www.phoronix.com)

Finally getting some (closer to) mainstream video cards from AMD. Still feels overpriced but a lot better than $750 for a 7900xt.

I want to switch to Linux but there are a few major hurdles. by dark_stang in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] dark_stang@beehaw.org 55 points 10 months ago

If you depend on a piece of software for your career, you shouldn't try to force it to work on another OS or some hardware it doesn't have support for. Just run Windows.

You could try using a Windows VM, or even doing GPU passthrough. But do you really want to troubleshoot that for 2 days when an update breaks everything?

Backwards compatibility is the best feature of Xbox, and I don't understand why Sony is so far behind on this by dark_stang in c/gaming@beehaw.org

[-] dark_stang@beehaw.org 48 points 11 months ago

Sony changed their CPU architecture every time until PS4/5. The only reason some PS3s could play PS2 games is because they had also had PS2 hardware in them. Xbox has been x86 the whole time.

You were a sysadmin then became an attorney? How do you have any faith in humanity left?

The Most Prolific Packager For Alpine Linux Is Stepping Away (www.phoronix.com)

Heads up if you're using Alpine images to host your services or run build pipelines. Alpine's packages are going to be less current unless some others maintainers are found to pick up the slack.

So a data architect writes an android app and it doesn't go horribly? (beehaw.org)

It was me. I'm just excited that I published something and wanted to tell somebody about it. Especially something that might actually be useful to people (instead of just used by other businesses). It's not often I'm let out of the data warehouse cage these days.

Here it is in case anybody else needs an app to remind them about all the stuff they have laying around that needs to be constantly maintained.

I also made the satire app Antifa Recruiter a while back and updated it today. Just in case you need something to pull out at family gatherings.

Anybody else create anything fun or useful this week? Or does anybody have any constructive feedback on Maintain that could make it more useful?

AMD is releasing (what appears to be, still need all the reviews to come in) a beast of a mobile processor. 16 cores, 32 threads, and 128MB of L3 cache.

Even if they win, this dude is a literal war monger fascist. Not better or worse than Putin.

FediPact is an Organized Effort to Block Meta's ActivityPub Platform by dark_stang in c/technology@beehaw.org

Every time a big company gets into an open source space, they try to take it over. Hopefully everybody in the fediverse recognizes that.
