> Hochschild (1983) suggested that jobs requiring more emotional labor are performed primarily by women. These jobs typically involve creating feelings of well-being or affirmation in others – responsibilities usually assigned to women.
Hochschild, A. (1983). 1983 The managed heart. Berkeley: University of California Press.
I've read the outline of Hochschild's work, and it applies to jobs like waitresses, who have to maintain a positive image in order to do their job, not people in meetings in an office talking about a project. Hochschild herself has mentioned the scope-creep of the concept, critically.
For the team: From the term "personal dashboard," I was expecting something that would allow me to track data that's important to me, locally, like if I want to track my sleep stats and my spending and my food intake and whatever else. That's what "personal dashboard" means to me, and I was excited for a self-hosted, open source, clean way to do that.
Maybe that product exists, but sadly it has nothing to do with this one.
I just so happen to be working on one! It stemmed from my dissatisfaction with the existing meal tracking apps I’ve tried.
Initially I’d wanted to track spending as well but apps like YNAB cover this use-case better than I can in the near term so I struck it from the roadmap.
I’m trying to focus on health: meal planning and workout scheduling in a system flexible enough to make suggestions as your exercise regimen (and thus your nutritional requirements) change. Will also be looking into sleep tracking and other metrics.
Let me know if there’s anything else you’d want to see from an app like this. Happy to shoot you a link to the repo when the MVP gets off the ground.
I think most of the problem I run into is that I don't use a lot of mainstream services. Like, my step count, heart rate, and weight info isn't in FitBit and Google Health. It's in GadgetBridge and openScale. And I'm not syncing it to my computer with Dropbox or Google Drive. It happens through syncthing.
Most of my "system," if I can even call it that, is held together by a whole lot of duct tape and bubblegum and commands I ran one time that I found on StackOverflow.
I haven't updated this in years but this was my attempt at building a real time personal dashboard, connecting various API's and components.
Was pretty helpful for me, basically acted as a heads up display that I could look at to track my stats over the day (steps, meditation, focus time, etc.)
A link in bio is primarily used by social media influencers. It would usually link to their other social media pages, a merch website, and stuff like that. It solves the issue of most social media platforms only allowing one link
The "fall guy" problem strikes me as nontrivial. Even if you add to the law that the CEO always has liability for any data leak, a sufficiently well capitalized company run by someone aware of the liability would simply create a shell company that owns all of that data. You could disallow company transmission of said data at all but that is going to cause problems when trying to actually verify said information . . .
We'd almost certainly have to write a new one, but there are several straightforward ways to do it if we had the political will. An off the cuff example that could certainly be improved:
Definitions:
Government Identification Data includes Social Security Number. Bulk Extraction means any removal of data more than element by element. Unauthorized Third party means any person who the Company does not intend to grant access to. Intentionally Retaining means that a company chooses to ask clients to supply information which is then saved in a way accessible to the company for any reason in the future.
Law:
Any company maintaining Government Identification Data must select someone as personally liable for the security of said data. If the company does not have a person who accepts personally liability, this liability transfers to the Chief Executive Officer of the company. In order for the liability to be considered transferred, the Company most keep on file a notarized copy of an affidavit accepting such liability
Any company intentionally retaining any Government Identification Data must do so in a system that does not allow for Bulk Extraction by any Unauthorized Third Party. Failure to do so is considered Willful Negligence on the part of the company.
Any company guilty of Willful Negligence herein described must forfeit the greater of 15% of their previous yearly revenue or 5 times the Gross Annual Compensation of the most compensated employee. In addition, whomever the company has selected as outlined above shall be incarcerated for no less than 12 months and no more than 60 months.
I haven't been formally diagnosed but I'm definitely on the very low end of visualization. But I'll answer for myself:
While I'm dreaming and unaware that I'm dreaming, it's like I'm in real life. As soon as I start to wake up at all, everything fades to black almost instantly. I recall the experience as if I lived it though dreams are strange so it's far less consistent than a normal narrative.
What kind of memories? I often completely fail to encode and remember highly visual details - like what color hair someone has, what shirt they were wearing, and so on. But I could recall the name of the building in which my college showed the Matrix in the fall of 1999 because I could remember which way I walked there.
I recall audio strongly and can hear the voices of various characters in my head. I can do passable impressions of quite a few characters. I can tell you the story in detail, but if something hinges on a visual cue I will completely fail there.
I mostly talk to myself in my head. It's a running narrative. If you'd like a specific example, give me something more meaningful than "imagining".
If I want to read something and retain it well, I will hear it in my head in my internal voice as I'm reading.
