I’m unemployed and that phone doesn’t ring, I have some much free time but I’m anti social… So I stay at home almost all day and only go out if I need to buy something or an interview comes up. Aside the house chores and videogames I don’t do anything else.

What you do when you have lots of free time?

Edit: I forgot I’m online studying for a driving license, but is so boring I forgot I was doing that.

        Lemmy is open source software, and the lemmy.ml instance in particular—the instance you are posting to—is especially focused on open source software development, so you shouldn’t be surprised that many people are talking about open source software development.

    I like hiking! I personally stick to easy/intermediate trails because I’m just there to enjoy the foliage and the animals, but it’s a nice use of extra time and energy.

    Been trying to find a group to explore some of the riskier trails with because I know I’m missing some beautiful views, but yknow… scheduling

    This hasn’t happened for me in the last 35 years, but if I am, say, on vacation? I like to read books, exercise, eat at restaurants.

    If you are feeling isolated, it’s really good to go get coffee at the same place everyday. We tend to discount the value of weak social connections, but they are the glue that holds humanity together.

    I myself spend a disproportionate amount of my free time debugging open source software (and filing bug reports and patches).

    Like us, you could waste time answering your questions with genuine enthusiasm and interest when you clearly don’t give a shit about yourself or anyone else

        Judging by your username, you left Reddit when they did the API changes, but aren’t really sure where you’ve ended up. Kudos for that! Seems like you’ve stuck to your principles.

          I left Reddit because you can’t comment anything there. REMOVED, REMOVED, REMOVED, BANNED. Fuck that place

            Looking at your comments here, I can see why that was happening to you on reddit.

              You can’t stop freedom of speech. As long as I’m not insulting anyone (who isn’t insulting me) me and anyone else should be allowed to say whatever the hell I want. And Reddit used to be like that before everything got so controlled

                You can’t say whatever the hell you want, actually. For example, “No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.”

                  Modern society sees everything offensive nowadays… oh, that’s racist. Oh, that’s sexist… common

    Man, I’ve been disabled since 2005, so I feel the pain of having to find purpose and satisfaction without a job. I miss working, though I would have preferred to be able to work less and still make a living lol.

    I find that diversifying my interests helps. I have a lot of down time where being productive isn’t possible (you know, chores and such), so I’ve had to find multiple things to do while recovering from activity. But you can only play so many games, read so many books, do so many crosswords, etc.

    Meditation is a big plus. Learning how to be in stillness is a powerful tool.

    Picking up skills is a huge benefit. Doesn’t have to be anything big. Just watching some videos and reading up on something like sketching can fill weeks of down time, and then you either learn a new skill that’s useful, or improve an old skill (I used to be pretty decent, but years of working and not drawing had atrophied my sketch skill). Could be anything like that with a low investment in supplies.

    If you are capable of it, pick up some coding. Doesn’t have to be enough to do anything, but you’ll have a better understanding of things.

    Keep your brain active is what I’m getting at. There’s zero pressure to be good at anything you try, it’s all about the process, the exercise of your mind to keep the boredom and ennui at bay.

    Learn a skill you are passionate about, painting, drawing, sculpting, sewing.
