It’s very pretty; but it’s also a little sad - that there could be demand for a big red flashing IRL “busy” indicator.
If I’m busy and if it happens so often that I can reliably buy a device like this, I would instead prefer to adjust my work environment to not be distracting, and to inform people that they should contact me at some other time.
I guess this may not always be an option.
- blitzar 2y ago> sad - that there could be demand for a big red flashing IRL “busy” Busy is the virture most people want to signal most of the time. Next time someone ask how things are tell people you are not busy, its elicits a similar response to telling people your distant uncle died.

- blitzar 2y agoLying is also a sin and 90+% of the time when people say they are "busy" they are not.
- ndndjdjdn 2y agoDepends what you mean by busy. I use the "free" designation option to plan work in my shared calendar. I am busy but I am also free for a meeting if needed. In server parlence this might be an async batch processing job. Peope who do 0.8 hours work and collect a full time salary while playing golf and pretending they do 8 are rare I suspect.
- blitzar 2y agoI am talking about the "cult of bussyness" form of busy, most people can get their 8 hour day done by lunch even at a leisurly pace. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/busy-work-productivity-job-slack-emails-meetings-b2512674.html https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/busy-work-productiv...
