I ban Slack through my hosts file at work. If someone wants to interrupt me, they have to get off their ass and come do so in person.

- richardwhiuk 10y agoWhy bother installing it then?
- stronglikedan 10y agoParent probably means the web version (if there is one - I don't use Slack), judging from the mention of the hosts file. I've had to do things like that, due to my personal lack of self control.
- general_ai 10y agoExactly. I also ban FB, Reddit, and much of the other bullshit at work (and on work laptop). HN is not banned (yet), since SNR is not zero here.
- rootlocus 10y ago> FB, Reddit, and much of the other bullshit If they're bullshit, how come you lack the discipline to abstain from checking them? > HN is not banned (yet), since SNR is not zero here. I might be misjudging, but you make it sound as if you're pretentious about the content you consume when actually you're placing external constraints trying to prevent yourself from consuming bullshit. In that case, more discipline would be the healthier solution.
