College teacher / composer - Lemmy is pretty much the only social media I still use. I already feel disconected from my student's reality but whatever.
I own a couple small companies, and I blow off steam with Lemmy when I have time.
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.
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 ๐ฒ
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.

Have you tried fiber?

Remote work to a slow computer.
Linux, the answer is obviously Linux.

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.
Psyops
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.
apprentice bench jeweler, but during the day all i really do is wait on customers so i end up with WAY too much free time. i get to make all sorts of cool shit tho!
Professional procrastinator, PhD
Web Developer
Shhh don't tell anyone lmao
@ThePicardManuever probably too busy posting to respond.
ITT: none of the power posters I was thinking of. Suspiciously silent now, eh?
Obviously nobody wants to brag about being a jobless nerd who posts on social media all day.
๐คฃ Abso_lutely_ none of the usual suspects have chimed in here.
Right? There are a handful of users that I'd expect here but don't see
I'm a lumberjack in Antarctica when I'm not moonlighting as a future historian.
I'm a software developer and there are many times I have to wait for something (a program execution to finish, clarification about a task, etc.) and thus have time to open tabs for lemmy and other non-work-related websites.
I might not meet your criteria though because I don't usually create "several new posts daily" nor do I comment anywhere near on all threads I read (because I don't comment where I don't feel I have anything useful to add).
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.
2 of my jobs are food service and the third one is retail.
Fucking kill me.
I don't have a title per se, but I can say that I work with information security and vast amounts of data. I have ADHD so doing "mindless" things like quipping on Lemmy, sudoku and word search puzzles helps me think. It is also why I often comment with images. So I might be commenting or shitposting, but in the back of my head I am thinking about how to restructure a query so that it will return in seconds rather than minutes.
EDIT: It is also why most comments are edited. I comment now and return to spell/grammar check later (if at all).
hundreds overall? You say several per day. I easily do that. Thats not even a lot. Now if you mean hundreds per day then woa. Anyway I am currently unemployed. EDITED - ok posts several a day and comments on everything. That is a lot. I read it wrong initially.
