Another reason why the chart is misleading is something akin to Jevons' Paradox. Optimizing a monthly task may mean it can now be done several times a day, which can create radical new workflows and change the game well beyond the time saved from the original task.

I can't wait until @AmeliaMN discovers @VisiData
My kingdom for a lightweight csv “spreadsheet” editor. I want to be able to: 1. see data in cells 2. enter new data 3. sort in ascending and descending order 4. save (That’s it, that’s the end of the feature list.)

I bought a new @System76 Linux PC back in June. It randomly hangs under load, now happening several times a day, even with just videochat and mild gaming. Customer service at System76 is responsive but I don't have time or energy to diagnose and experiment with heat paste.

Yes yes yes. There are some things, like customer service and moderation, which are necessarily human-oriented and impossible to automate effectively. Mega-corps create big problems for society and/or their customers when they scale their automatable services beyond this point.

Someone else asked me just last night if there was an interactive version. If you made one I would be love to either host it or link to it. Frohe Weihnachten und ein gutes neues Jahr!

I'm 2 hours in listening to The Caretaker's "Everywhere At The End Of Time", a 6.5-hour ambient musical project intended to evoke the long and terrifying descent into dementia, on the eve of the Winter Solstice of 2020. Everything is fine.
