When it comes to #tasks in #Obsidian or elsewhere, I prefer a more proactive approach rather than relying on notifications. As with everything else in the Timeline System, I'm looking for direction; the specifics of what and when I'll do it depend on the situation at hand.

#Tasks
“Canva co-founder #MelaniePerkins wrote to staff on May 5 to unveil #Canva’s official #AIGuidelines, two months after it axed the majority of its #TechnicalWriters division and directed #engineers to complete the bulk of their #tasks using #AITools.
The COACHES (weaselword for manager) said the company had recently directed them to *formally assess* the way employees, known internally as “Canvanauts”, use AI in their six-monthly PERFORMANCE reviews. They also said the company has #automated the #writing of these #reviews.
A company spokesperson denied these claims in a lengthy statement but said Canva does “ENCOURAGE” employees to “reflect on how they’re using AI in their work” on an informal basis and said they use an internal tool that assesses performance reviews against their internal metrics after a human has written the
(No dissent tolerated)
“We’re incredibly committed to helping our team thrive in this new era of AI. We’re making significant investments in upskilling across the entire company, with a strong focus on learning and experimentation,” the Canva spokesperson said.
“Our #investmentstrategy in this space aren’t about #replacing our TEAM’s #judgement, #creativity, or #craft, but scaling them so we can spend more time on the projects that move us closer to our mission and make a difference for our community,”
(Emphasis note on TEAM, not individuals)
For a consumer facing software company, the last place I’d be removing human input would be where the technology touches customers. The usability, instructions, reliability through Engineering, Art and crafting of a product.
Where do you cut? Accounting, excessive management (top & bottom) and back office. This is the difference between an accounting/MBA and an Engineering / consumer focused company.
No wonder the technical staff are looking at #Unions. JobBot unleashed by the *Boss Class* to replace technical staff. 🦾🤖🦿

This is sort of a review of Focalboard but also a critique of other platforms and really just some rambling...

In the year 2025, someone decided to write an article about optimizing the least exciting task in the universe: running `./configure` 🤦♂️. Spoiler alert: it's still as thrilling as watching paint dry while counting filesystem timestamps. Time travel must have broken if we're still discussing this in the #future 🕰️.

I know some people like to keep a list of completed #tasks in #Obsidian, but in my case, all I see is a big mess, which is especially chaotic on my recurring tasks notes. The good news is that there is a solution for those of you who are experiencing the same anxiety.

Do you have an #Obsidian homepage? What's on there? 🤔 Mine gives me instant access to #tasks, #trips, #projects, and family info. It works as an efficient #dashboard to what matters most.

#unplugTrump #nextcloud #calendar #tasks
Habe angefangen, Google Kalender und Tasks nach Nextcloud zu migrieren.
Kalender und Tasks zunächst nur in NC abonniert und vorläufig Tasks.org installiert und mit DAVX5/ICSX5 synchronisiert, weil die NC Tasks App noch keine wiederkehrenden Aufgaben kann.
Nutze Vivaldi Browser und habe für die NC Apps Progressive Webapps, PWAs, eingerichtet mittels: Tab der geöffneten App zum Startbildschirm hinzufügen und dann "installieren" wählen.
Toiling — rejoicing — sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a night’s repose.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) American poet
“The Village Blacksmith,” st. 7 (1840)

Do the Right Thing?
I don’t want to go into details but here’s the deal.
I have something to do tomorrow and I don’t want to do it. Originally, the plan was for my wife and I to do it together. It involves driving for an hour and a half, doing something that may not take a lot of time, and then driving home for an hour and a half. As of now though, my beloved bride needs to work tomorrow so if this happens it will be me doing it alone.
So there are two options. One, I do the right thing and I go and do this task. Two, I don’t do it and I stay home and run errands for my wife and just be here with her, which is absolutely what I want to do.
Frustrated sigh… If I do this then it will help someone out and if I believed in karma (which I absolutely do not) then it would be a good thing for everyone, karmically speaking (is karmically a word?). I just selfishly do not want to do it because it is going to take up the entire afternoon and most of the evening and I really just want to spend time with my wife.
I am probably going to do it. Like I said, it’s the right thing. The other person involved has already done a similar thing for me. It’s only right and proper for me to do the same in return. I just don’t want to spend three hours in the car round trip.
Ugh… I didn’t expect this post to feel so negative. I really just thought it would be an unemotional stating of the two sides of the coin and instead I feel like this reads like I am pissed off and defeated by the situation. It’s not that big a deal. For me, it’s not that big a deal. For the other folks involved it is, but me being involved is a microscopic piece of it. Ugh… I don’t know what I am saying anymore. I’ll shut up now.
On the upside, the Boston Bruins appear to be putting an end to their 10 game losing streak by beating the shit out of the Whalers tonight. Too bad it’s WAY too late to have any meaning. Ugh. The Red Sox got rained out today so they are going to play a double header tomorrow. Maybe things will go well and we’ll get to spank St Louis twice in one Sunday. That’d be nice.
