Morning all! Iā€™ve been up too late tinkering with this new experience and my eyes feel like theyā€™re hanging out on stalks, so Iā€™d better lay off the revenge bedtime procrastination and hit the hay. Gā€™night all!

Oh DT peeps, I finally did it. I bought a new curved monitor from Officeworks. This one of anyone is curious https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/samsung-23-5-fhd-curved-monitor-lc24f390fhexxy-salc24f390. And damn man, although it was only $147 thatā€™s a lot of coin for me. The buyerā€™s remorse sets in hard when I canā€™t actually touch or see or use something I spent large amounts of money on

Is a curved monitor going to be as revolutionary as everyone keeps telling me it will be? I was gonna pay the extra $30 and get the 27", but Iā€™d have had to catch a train to Wangaratta and hen cart it back, not ideal

I like my curved monitor. I wouldnā€™t describe it as revolutionary because it is curved, but it does keep all the bits of a large screen at a better viewing distance. Having enough screen space to work on multiple documents at once is definitely a great thing though and well worthwhile.

Fabulous to get up and see a new daily thread. This manual setup for everything instead of midnight magic will take some getting used to.

Maybe we need a ā€˜create daily threadā€™ roster? Iā€™ll do a day, if someone explains how

Instead of a roster everyone on the old DT at midnight could vote for someone to do it. It is just a new post so doesnā€™t require anything special to do, although I think it needs a mod to actually pin it which can be done later.

The only requirement is that you come up with a good title ;)

I think for now itā€™s fine with whoever is up around midnight. I was a big supporter of the midnight smile club :D, starting a new thread is a similar thing. No need to bust your chops over it at the moment.

But learning to create a bot to post a new thread automatically is just the first step in my cunning plan. I will then be able to move on to creating my own personal bot army. First we will take over the Aussie Zone, then all of Lemmy World will be mine!!! I will throw all the people off and have pristine communities filled entirely with perfect, rule-following robots. Oh, wait, did I say that bit out loud šŸ¤

Itā€™s all good! I was just up at 12:30 and saw one hadnā€™t been posted yet so I did the honours. I think itā€™s fine with whoever is up before one is listed donā€™t the posting, but obviously finding a way to automate that process would probably be best in the long term
