I have narcolepsy so it’d happen uncontrollably, usually when sitting still without talking or moving. Like in a large meeting or presentation where I don’t have an active part to play. Sometimes a sympathetic colleague would nudge me awake. Somewhat career limiting but I was stuck with it for 30 years. I started on medication a year ago and it has been much improved.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Your arm is replaced with aprosthetic, you get a few gadgets with your new arm, what can your arm do?
3·2 months agoI’d look to Swiss army knives for inspiration. Knife, screwdriver, scissors, pliers. A light. Someone said phone holder… I’d have the phone embedded in the arm, positioned to be easy to see and access. Have the lock screen be various health stats: heart rate, Vmax, Time. Usb charging port… Be able to both charge the arm, and charge devices from the arm, maybe with a retractable cable ala cyberpunk 2077. Camera in a fingertip, ideally connected to XR glasses, so I can see behind or under things easily, able to be a microscope. Electric arc lighter in another fingertip.
Facebook started out as invite only for a few years so they might have been looking to emulate its early trajectory. Gmail also started that way.
Note that Crimea is not counted as Ukrainian in this map. Makes you wonder.
Yes, I write more than twice the work emails than I send. I spend 15 minutes on slack composing a reasoned response with examples and references then edit it down to one sentence. Because I know from bitter experience noone reads long form, at least, not for work. They’d rather spend weeks back and forth on one liners with days in between responses, or only when prompted, than answer one email properly and the whole thjng sorted in a day. Even this is too long. But I’m going to hit submit before the urge to edit overhwlems me.





I can’t see any obvious keywords there, it would be very telling to be able to determine what theye filtering on, if we had enough unredacted/redacted pairs to find out
