@maya My advice would be:
1) Try them out *in person*, and if possible, try them out for a full day (though I realize that especially for cheaper options this is hard to do)
2) If you need to spend a lot of time behind a desk, get two different chairs that put you in different postures, and alternate between them. I've found that this helps a lot. You might want one of them to be a stool instead.
3) The best semi-affordable widely-available option that works for a lot of people that I'm aware of is the IKEA MARKUS. But try it first!
4) Second-hand 'commercial' office chairs can also be a good option. The Comforto 77 is a good option that works for a lot of people.
5) A separate backrest (ie. not continuously attached to the seat) often helps to keep a good posture.
6) No matter how good the chair, sitting for hours on end is always bad for your body. Take regular breaks - use something like Workrave to enforce it, if necessary. I've also found brief equipment-less core exercises to work very well for keeping my posture healthy.

IKEA used to have a *very* cheap and *very* good (if slightly uncomfortable) plasticky desk chair, the ALRIK, but unfortunately it's no longer available :( You might be able to find it second-hand, though!

I had a dream about an Internet forum game where you had to post something worse than what the above poster said. If you couldn't think of something worse you replied with an image that said '100 Parking Spaces'.

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev @pleb@hunk.city Hmm, I was assuming from your description that you want to retain messages until they have been consumed by all expected consumers, so that nobody misses any. If so, you'd definitely need something more specific than just any pub/sub queue. Not sure whether Kafka can do this though.

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev @pleb@hunk.city Or replicated/mirrored queue or something

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev @pleb@hunk.city Something something multi-consumer queue?

@nasser

this town isn't big enough for the both of us so it looks like we should build more housing and get rid of some restrictive low-density zoning

hey buddy look it's like they say: if you can't handle the heat then just let us know ok and we'll open a window or something because it's really important to us that you feel safe and comfortable in the kitchen ♥️

@neauoire @HXLNT IMO they shouldn't just be removed, they should be *replaced* with "this guide/project/etc. assumes you already know the following things: ..."

re: selfie 

@kescher Probably because people who don't do cybercrime wouldn't wear a shirt about cybercrime! So obviously the correct solution is to wear a shirt saying "I would never wear a shirt claiming that I don't do cybercrime", that'd solve it for sure

@schratze If I were a prosecutor, I'd definitely be looking at Musk's history a bit more closely now

you ever think about all that bandwidth, server space and energy we'd save if ads didn't exist on the internet

Hmmm. Is there a way in Mastodon to automatically make all replies to other people's toots unlisted?

@kescher Cute! Not sure I believe trihs eht, though :p

@AgathaSorceress@eldritch.cafe Bonus: no traffic jams for those who are genuinely dependent on personal motor vehicles for transport
