Right—and in the loose model that I use to make sense of it, crypto/web3/blockchain/whatever becomes the setting. You actually don't need to understand a whole lot about any of that stuff to get involved. So to generaliz

> Again the fashion for extreme flatness, with square icons and buttons that disappear into the background are shown to be counter productive and user hostile. Any sources for this? I tend to share this sentiment, but have never really r

Oh yes—I should have mentioned the glossary. Thanks for calling that out—it is absolutely necessary in making it an enjoyable read. Once you get a grasp on it though, it's pretty easy to infer meaning of new words as you go.

When I retired my social media accounts a couple of years ago (facebook, instagram, twitter) I remember a distinct feeling of triumph that felt worthy of sharing. Like I finally opened my eyes to see them for what they really are... but in

I don't disagree, and it's not facebook's responsibility to teach people how to identify manipulative content, but that viewpoint is too narrow. People blindly trust facebook because it is positioned as a safe place on the in

Going on two years of 16/8 IF myself, but I'd say that it absolutely was life-changing for me. I initially lost about 45 lbs (217 – 172) in about 10 months, but have since leveled out between 170-175. Beyond the weight loss, I not
