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
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.
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.
Psyops
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?
Right? There are a handful of users that I’d expect here but don’t see
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.
2 of my jobs are food service and the third one is retail.
Fucking kill me.
Well, I’m also posting in [email protected]. I think that says everything.

I work in IT.
@ThePicardManuever probably too busy posting to respond.
Homeless, I just spend all day at the public library. Where do we go to to trade in all the upvotes for cash?
Either the Dennies or under the 4th st bridge.
That’s perfect, that’s where I communicate to people what the voices are telling me! I expect they’ll just start showering me with money when I begin the ritual ejaculation.
I poop… A lot.
I push buttons on computers and wait for things to be done. Sometimes I have to look and find out why the button push didn’t do the thing.
In other words, IT.

Remote work to a slow computer.
