I think what's even a better attention mechanism is my late internet strategy.
I didn't bother to register an internet connection at my workshop, and I only have a mobile "flatrate" with 2G slow there.
It's amazing how precious your value of time instantly gets, and you have to get innovative for all sorts of tools.
GitHub Issues? Nope, need to build a caching browser extension [1]
Google? Nope, need to build a browser extension that blocks the damn consent banners...because the JS for consent banners takes 3 minutes to load while happily displaying the unclickable results in the background.
Duckduckgo? Nope, doesn't work via TOR and blocks you as of late.
The general web? Nope. Browsers are too stupid to cache anything. So I guess I need to build my own web browser as well [2]
There's just so much noise in web sites these days, it's absurd. JS, ads, web fonts, tracking gifs, banners, gdpr consent banners, cookie banners, analytics...
All noise, not signal. It's time to browse the web differently. Instead of blocking noise we should start selecting signal.
