Focus on your breathing. You also need an environment conducive to focus. Be sure you’re well rested, have some fresh air, and play some calming music. Taking drugs like stimulants (coffee, tea, etc.) will interfere with this. If you want t

Many come here to feed their pride addiction. Snark and arguing gives one a hit of pride when they're upvoted or praised, which feels good. Even when downvoted, people play a story in their head about being right. Acting out praising t

I don't need any news to function as a voting citizen. When election time nears, I can inform myself of the candidates. And I definitely don't look at news articles to research them. I prefer primary sources (listen to the candida

Taxes are free to file. Just fill out the form(s) and mail it in. I find it way easier than using crap software. No logins, no ads, no spying, no losing my progress. There’s literally instructions for every box on the form.

It’s broken because copying all data somewhere else to query isn’t scalable, technically or financially. Especially when all the observability business models are based on charging for data. The whole observably industry is based on a flawe

All great advice. But I wish I had spent more time asking myself whether I should spend my life eating crap and kissing someone’s butt in order to further someone else’s ambitions. You can play the game, but ask yourself if that’s the game

Those are proxies specific to that service, no? AT posts aren’t webpages, there is no canonical HTTP URL for an AT post, nor is the post an HTML document. Bluesky happens to provide an HTTP browser-based front-end, which is not part of the

AT seems cool — but it’s not built on the web. That’s a dealbreaker for me. I can’t link to a Bluesky post. I can’t use Bluesky from the browser. It’s a silo’d network. The indie web has the right idea: Use the web, build ontop of blogs, de

Why would humans fill the gaps, and not AI? The current media platforms algorithmically curate content. I suspect the logical conclusion of that is to use AI to generate content on-demand, perfectly tailored to what the user is most likely
