I’ve noticed some usernames around Lemmy in almost all communities I follow that create several new posts daily and comment in almost all topics. I’m very curious, how do you have so much time on your hands?
This question’s been eating at me for some time, but I didn’t want to directly ask in any of the threads or message the users because I don’t to single anyone out, I’m just very curious. <3
I work in IT.
i shit constantly
Have you tried fiber?

Remote work to a slow computer.
I am a model, I do hydologic and hydraulic simulations. So I often have 1-5 minutes that I have to wait for the PC. The work related stuff to do during the waiting periods is limited.
Are you a physical model or computer model. I didn’t know when they started using AI on hydraulic models this would happen 😲
Btw. Can I know how can I get a job like yours. I’m looking for remote works in around a year with a PhD on hydrology related degree. I have good programming skills, and good hydrology/hydraulic knowledge.
Nowadays I work in urban hydrology and lead our team for general planning/asset management and data management of utilities company for a city in germany. I did my phd in river hydrology and hydrometeorology.
I have to admit modelling nowadays is only ~30% of my job. I oftentimes wished that I would do more modelling, but thus is life I guess. Should still consider myelf lucky that I manage to still do that much modelling, thanks to my team being very competent, thus allowing me to manage with a very low hierarchy and still do some work myself (the pay gap is also quite small, so I guess that is fair).
But remote work is difficult in that business. We allow a maximum of 50% and only 1-2 days per week for leading positions.
ITT: none of the power posters I was thinking of. Suspiciously silent now, eh?
Hi it’s me
Obviously nobody wants to brag about being a jobless nerd who posts on social media all day.
🤣 Abso_lutely_ none of the usual suspects have chimed in here.
Right? There are a handful of users that I’d expect here but don’t see
@ThePicardManuever probably too busy posting to respond.
Linux, the answer is obviously Linux.
Sysamin $$$
Unemployed. I was a software dev, but it has been hard for me to get a job for last 1.5 years. It sucks. Currently, working to set up a small horticulture farm.
Eh, I don’t really want to get into it on my main, but I do have way too much time. I didn’t plan it this way, I swear.
I’m a spy for Facebook and or the Russian/US government. Maybe something to do with China on the side too, not sure. In my free time I shill BP products to the children in my neighbourhood and have a passive income clubbing seals during my winter break. Due to a debilitating sense of laziness, I invite food delivery workers into my home and have my way with them in lieu of payment. At night I climb unto my roof to look at the star(s) whilst perching over the street and mutter to any night joggers about being vengeance incarnate. My interests include anime, dog-walking, and folding paper cranes.
Called it.

I’ve averaged 4-5 comments a day since I made my account. Probably not who you’re asking about but I’ll bite.
I’m a SysAdmin/Systems Engineer- My work tends to be feast or famine in terms of how busy things get, and there’s often times where I just have to “babysit” a long running process or script. Also times where I just need to clear my head so I can approach a problem a different way.
I have a similar job, but I have been in the unfortunate position to be swamped with work for the past month or so.
I have had one task that needed babysitting in the past 3 weeks, and I was so busy that I was jumping between tasks at that point.
Software dev
Quality control manager in a fabrication shop. A lot of my job is waiting for machines to do their thing.
Different job, but same scenario. I hook things up to a machine, run it an hour, swap the next units in, repeat until done. Sometimes there’s other stuff to do, but the basic job is mostly waiting.
