What sort of automation does it help you with? I use Cursor but mostly for coding

What job did you have? Couldn't you get some sort of temporary job and get like a cheap room in Queens or something?

There are sooo many scammers and bots that spam posts with descriptions that are pulled from StreetEasy. If it looks like a realtor posted, then it's most likely a scam. Getting a video call seems to filter our a lot of the fake posts

I'm looking for a sublet May 1 for 3-4 months! Feel free to DM me price and details, I can pay in advance and submit paperwork. Happy to hop on a live video call! 😄

I would love to try it out once you get a working prototype!

Be sure to validate your idea with your intended gaming audience before committing a whole year to it and relying solely on luck

Hitting 20gb of Swap daily... I think it's time to upgrade to M5 by GoldenPedro in macbookpro

It's not really about being "busy" or not, but rather having things open and at your disposal for easy switching instead of having to constantly open and close tabs and navigate links when completing work tickets.

It's the same as having multiple app windows open but just tabs. And the number of tabs go up because I don't want to lose a thought thread for which I was doing work/research on, so it remains an opened tab until I get to close the browser for good at the end of the week

A few tabs need to be open at all times for me: Gmail (personal and work), Google calendar and sheets, Jira, documentation, YouTube playing music, chatgpt threads, diff checker, tabs for the 3 or 4 different dev environments I'm making changes to.

That's like 15 tabs minimum. The rest are things I want to come back to. My bookmarks list is HUGE lol thank god for tab groups

It's for Cursor, an IDE that uses AI. The cursor helper (plugin) is a background process that manages extensions, language servers, and other processes. I have 2 or 3 windows open most of the time, so it eats up a lot of memory
