So imagine you're working for a real slave driver

And at least in most of the nations' navies, your life as a grunt was pretty much like that. Dragged into service by press gangs and treated like shit.

Leaving Porto Santo (lemmy.world)

After two months on Porto Santo it's time to head to the Canary Islands.

Since May this year. Currently on Porto Santo / Madeira. Heading to Canary Islands in October.

Return to office has made me quit.

Probably with UKV as the main forecast model to check. Should definitely compare the other models as well to get a clearer picture of what to expect.

Left the engine on the boat and sailed my dinghy to shore today for a grocery run.

Yep. While reading this I opened the camera to take one picture, came right back and Liftoff was back at the top of the feed...

If turning it off or leaving it in another room isn't an option, you could let a podcast lull you to sleep.

I like to listen to The Unbelievable Truth for example. Relatively quiet, not demanding enough focus to keep you awake, but requires some attention so that if you're doing something else on your phone you're going miss what's going on.
Usually takes me a couple of nights to get through one ~20min episode.

Für mich ganz klar ein Segelboot.

Die Nähe zur Natur, frische Luft. Es gibt immer was zu sehen: Küsten, andere Boote, die Wellen und Wolken, Vögel, Delfine... Und während man sowohl intellektuell als auch physisch gefordert ist, sorgt es für eine unvergleichliche Entspannung. Mein Essen bringt mir keiner, aber ich kann Kochen während das Boot mich stetig weiter zum nächsten Ziel bringt, lesen oder dösen wenn die Gegebenheiten passen.

I was going west past Portland Bill to Torbay. The picture was taken leaving Studland Bay at 2:30 in the morning.

 
 

No idea who came up and popularized this UX crime but this isn't the first app I've come across that opens all or most of the dropdown and context menus from the bottom of the screen. Causing a complete disconnect from the action triggering the menu.

Really hope this gets fixed as I quite enjoy this one out of the currently available lemmy apps.

I'm clinging to BlackBerry Hub+ because unfortunately I have not yet found an alternative that does the multi inbox (+ texts, signal, ...) on the same level.

I'm just glad to be back on open water now :D As beautiful as the Dutch canals (and the towns along the way) are, I don't like running the engine the whole day. And especially singlehanded it is tiring that you cannot really step away from the tiller unless you are tied up somewhere.

That's the Langdeel aqueduct just south of Leeuwarden. Part of the Staande Mastroute through the Netherlands.
