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
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.
I’m a spy for Facebook and or the Russian/US government. Maybe something to do with China on the side too, not sure. In my free time I shill BP products to the children in my neighbourhood and have a passive income clubbing seals during my winter break. Due to a debilitating sense of laziness, I invite food delivery workers into my home and have my way with them in lieu of payment. At night I climb unto my roof to look at the star(s) whilst perching over the street and mutter to any night joggers about being vengeance incarnate. My interests include anime, dog-walking, and folding paper cranes.
Called it.
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?
Hi it’s me
🤣 Abso_lutely_ none of the usual suspects have chimed in here.
Obviously nobody wants to brag about being a jobless nerd who posts on social media all day.
Psyops
I work in IT.
Reddit was like that 15 years ago.
I own a couple small companies, and I blow off steam with Lemmy when I have time.

Nurse manager. I browse when I wake and during dinner. Sometimes during work breaks. I don’t really post. Mostly comment. Doesn’t take long to comment
“IT Support”.
Shore support specialist for this production system (server cluster) used offshore. I spend most of my time “available, on standby”.Apart from the jetlag it’s not too bad, actually. I’ve had worse jobs that didn’t take me to the far corners of the world.
Remote work to a slow computer.
Professional procrastinator, PhD
