I just made a couple of searches with teclis. I have to say, it's not bad. It's clearly not complete and I get several empty searches. But the content of the results are of higher quality than what I get with Google or DDG. Nice w

News is always biased. A more interesting question is, do you need news to be unbiased, or even, do you need any news at all? I highly recommend reading "Avoid News" from Rolf Dobelli from 2010 [1]. This essay was published long b

Pen and paper. At the end of the week I review the notes and if it's important enough I rewrite the notes on a personal wiki. For notes I have a(n) (paper) agenda with on the left the week overview and on the right notes. Best agenda e

This is what helped for me for years: I stopped having discussions regarding opinions based on fake news. I usually just tell them that I don't have an opinion on the matter and that I don't care what their opinion is. I prefer to

I think people are usually not paid for how much work they do or how skilled they are. People are paid by how much responsibility they have. If I screw up, and my solution ends up in the final product, my project manager will (and should!)

Similar here, pen and paper for almost all notes. If I want to keep it for longer I might add it on my personal wiki. But I try to keep it simple and stupid. I feel people spend too much time focusing on how to make/digitalize notes in
