Very very interesting, and stupid

How many years?

The amount of utility I accidentally extract from my phone over the course of a day on one charge is pretty incredible.

Interrupt your habits.

• Uninstall the app, if you use that.
• Log out in your browser.
• If you use ublockorigin, add reddit.com to the custom block list
• Use a password manager, change your password to something you can’t remember. Then in your password manager, put a prefix on it like (take-a-break), so you have to go through the hassle of editing it to log in.

You don’t need to be up to the minute or even the day for most of your interests, you can catch up when you have time to do so intentionally.

Interruptions cause you to slow down and give your will power a moment to catch up and intervene.

You still have brackets, but they’re at every $0.01

Hey thanks for the deep context & lore, that was refreshingly orienting!

I’m ok with continuing to talk to people who aren’t ready or willing to understand that.

I’m not sure if I want Google to be the ones to do that. Ideally there would be some involvement from a proper standardization body like ITU.

But in my shallow understanding of RCS, it seems like a good candidate. I thought I read that Apple was starting to roll it out this year…

Looks like it doesn’t do RCS

Good thing it’s a wiki!

Thank you

Commodity hardware & open source software for the win.

When my Western Digital NAS was never going to get critical security patches, I was so freaking glad to find out that they just used software raid… I threw the HDDs in a Debian server and never looked back.

It’s certainly nice to have things that are turn-key, but if you can find your way around any OS, just avoid proprietary everything.

On the contrary, I learned nothing first and I struggled pretty bad.

After a while though you start to get a grasp on things.

0.8, 0.9, etc…

Isn’t building a CRM a sort of rite of passage for tech entrepreneur failures?

Grayjay can stream nebula, so there must be a way.

Never thought about that before, but now I’m curious: what exactly makes a gang not a cult?

Chatbots can’t “admit” things. They regurgitate text that just happens to be information a lot of the time.

That said, the irony is iron clad.

It’s easy to worry about it, when the change wasn’t even necessary and has no effect if we’re to believe it was written in good faith.

Case in point, this amendment pretended to close a loophole which didn’t even exist. Wisconsin law already prohibited non citizens from voting. It does not pass the smell test, being as haphazardly written as it is now.

In the context of these definitions, I think “qualified elector” just means a voter.
