Old timer here, I have been using pinboard for a long time: I have never used any kind of integration, just manually curating my links when I have the time. I feel that it's unfair to call the site "in shambles": I never had

Happy for Jetbrains, I have been using their products for years and they did increase my productivity. Lately most of their producuts are suffering of atrocious performance issues, both on osx and linux [1], I hope that they manage to sort

I lived in Saudi Arabia for two years and did Ramadan, out of not wanting to offend my Saudi colleagues who were fasting. As a practictioner of fasting, I don't think that "modern" Ramadan has much to do with fasting anymore

I don't think that a sudden 3 days fast will bring any immediate benefits (perhaps some weight loss), on the contrary. I see fasting more as a long term, life choice. I do feel more energetic and sharp during fasting. I recently did a

I have been on a 18/6 and 20/4 fasting protocol for 3 months now - few up and downs but mostly sticking to it. The obvious results are weight loss (not so much, I'm within my BMI targets). I can confirm that my mental sharpne

Was going to say something along this line. Is disheartening to live in a first world country (center of Berlin) that happens to have the strongest economy in the Euro zone, and have such a slow internet that I can't even watch Netfli

Great idea and execution. I love art and I buy once in a while from galleries, but I'm often turned down by the steep prices. Any plan to expand to Europe?

But what if pods are inherently "closed" as you imagine, but a company would actually have to pay a fee to access some of the data and run whatever algo they want. Would this create a society where low income persons would be pere

Why would people accept their data to be harvested? I guess money could be an incentive, which is quite interesting because it would fundamentally revert the power dynamics between the big data abuser and the people. Lots of food for thoug

One way Inrupt approach could work is through Trans-national regulations (e.g. EU). I still believe that a major change in the way data collection tactics are carried out should come from "below" (the people) rather than some inco

Just tried to sign-up on Roam. The sign-up page redirects to some tracking site ( https://trackcmp.net/redir?actid=66602... ), which is blocked by my pi-hole. Not looking good.
