Free time. I used to use it to sleep, read books, listen to music, watch movies, play video games, do laundry, exercise, talk to my family, and cook my own food. I can do some of those things on the commute to and from work with apps, but it's not the same as when I had free time. I think google or facebook bought it and quietly obsoleted it in 2006. I'm still looking for a replacement. Someone suggested Activity Blocks or HabitRPG, but they don't work the same.
- figushki 10y agoSomeone else suggested Timely and Toggl, but you have to buy a subscription to really get the most out of them. One of the best things about free time was that it was free for the full version.
- hammock 10y agoWhat is it/what does it do? (One of those names where a Google search doesn't exactly get you what you want)
- projectramo 10y agoJust to be clear: we all know this is humor and he literally means free time, right?
- hammock 10y agoHaha I completely missed that. Saw the time tracking apps follow up comment and didn't think twice.
- chrisshroba 10y agoDon't worry, I was uncertain about it too!
- figushki 10y agoIt was genuinely useful, though. I used to use it to compile my kernel. I couldn't run Gentoo without it.
- ams6110 10y agoPretty easy to get it back. Cancel your home internet, mobile phone, and maybe even cable TV. You'll be back to the 1990s when you had hours of spare time.
- Piskvorrr 10y agoAlso, get rid of the house (and mortgage), get a divorce and send those pesky kids to an orphanage. And perhaps a way to magic away 25+ years, if you are serious about 1990. (But yeah, mobile internet is a free time black hole)
