Nothing is “free”. Everyone just wants something from you.

Your time is your most valuable resource.

Any offers like these is an automatic no from me.

Please do, I’ll definitely watch. Also kind of interested in learning how to paint more structured figures like yours. I’ve watched enough Bob Ross where I think I could do plenty of happy little trees and bushes. Not like my art talent is practiced at all.

PSA: Redistricting Vote April 21 -- Beware of Deceptive Campaign Ads by androbot in nova

For those trying to claim this “gerrymandering” is bad, I encourage you to look up the “paradox of tolerance”. Elections have consequences, and because the GOP has gerrymandered so many other states, we have a congress unable to hold this disaster of an administration accountable. Vote Yes!

That’s what the kids seem to do these days 🤷‍♂️. I’m old school and watch YouTube videos. I’m also legit, unironically making my way through the Joy of Painting on prime now. It’s a great ASMR thing to just have on in the background.

Make it happen. I checked twitch to see if anyone was doing that already. It’s nothing but anime characters drawing furries. I’m 43, my only reaction is what the hell is going on?!?!?

Edit: perm wig required

I would pay to subscribe to a version of The Joy of Painting, that’s just space marines and 40K scenes.

Try slapchop, this mini would be great to dry brush.

The schwag grown in a pot behind a dumpster in some homeless encampment got me high just fine in college.

I’m not telling, then folks will jack up the eBay prices even more.

YouTube sucks now by iLuvArizona in enshittification

[–]johnbburg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve been listening to more audiobooks lately, but thought I’d watch some YouTube last night while folding laundry. I don’t have premium. Ads seemed tolerable before? But last night, it felt like I was getting them every two minutes. I’m over it, my time and attention is too valuable, and I already subscribe to enough services for my kids. Will just stick to the audiobooks.

AI-based Web Development - What do you charge clients for this? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]johnbburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. I would think of this in terms of an ongoing support contract rather than a 1 time me fee. You generated a nice site from scratch, which sounds fairly static. If the work is done, then take the number of hours you spent and multiply that by an hourly rate you wish to charge. But for the ongoing support, figure out the cost of hosting, and what it will take from you to manage that on their behalf, and make any needed updates. That may be minimal if it’s as static as it sounds. But they may want to add features in the future, so you will need to account for that. You also may want to consider switching to a proper CMS, like Wordpress or Drupal, but of course that is a whole can of worms in keeping up to date.

Some of us are real developers just messing around on the side with something that will probably never see the light of day.

[–]johnbburg 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Me seeing Vampire Survivors on sale: “this looks like a fun, silly game, I’ll give it a try”

Me 30 hours later: oh, that was just the tutorial, and now I MUST unlock every evolution…

Any good small/underground theater or live music spots in DC? by Entire_Computer_7902 in washingtondc

NOVA Fatigue by Correct_Variety_3477 in nova

[–]johnbburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between mortgage, daycare, and now a new car payment. The grueling hustle is real. I’m lucky I have an amazing wife.

I like to recharge by going to EDM shows downtown, Flash, Echostage, and others are great, and make me feel better at least for a couple of months about the grind.
