Time estimations being labeled MD's.</p>

I ended up remapping ‘jj ’ in Vim to exit insert mode so hardly ever used Esc.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@scy" class="u-url mention">@<span>scy</span></a></span> the closest I think is man-hours. We generally don't do it by day, I think?</p>
<p>A question for native speakers of <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>English</span></a>:</p><p>In German, when estimating (or charging for) the time a certain business project takes, we often use the units "Personenstunde" (PS, "person hour") and especially "Personentag" (PT, "person day"). This differs from calendar days in that you can do 5 PT of work in one day if five people are working on it.</p><p>Is there an equivalent term in English? Does it have an acronym? Is the gendered "man-day" still the default?</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/business" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>business</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AskFedi</span></a></p>

I don't think that existed as a GUI option. Does it exist now?</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://functional.cafe/@loke" class="u-url mention">@<span>loke</span></a></span></p><p>FWIW, I don't claim to have a solution either.</p><p>Like any software developer, I do have _opinions_ on software security. But I'm on a side of the Dunning Kruger curve that knows enough to know I don't know enough.</p><p>(Which side? I'm not sure.)</p>
I for one started to care more when my videos started to be banned on those platforms, alongside some of my posts. Videos and posts that were educational and I never made any money off of them. So I, being hurt, started to care more about using other platforms. Thus, pain. That combined with my understanding about how these platforms like ytb, twitter, fb and the like operate, that they are in fact businesses/markets and not "networks".
So I think that's one way for people to start to care about changing some of their digital habits: to be extremely pissed off at those platforms, while at the same time have some curiosity to try something different.
It is very difficult, but from my experience what works is to be an example. I moved and gave no fucks about the other platforms so if anyone wanted to follow our TROM project or me, they had no choice but to move too. I made a bunch of people switch to these other alternatives.
