It may sound rude, but what is the point of it ? I mean, every smartphone has a note app, which do not require internet, so why people will use messageyourself instead of a basic app already existing ?

Like you, I tried several tools for taking notes (work or personnal). However, I didn't succeed using them during a long time. So I switched to little notebook with one pen that is smooth to use. For now I find (quite) easily my notes,

I just have a few try on it and I find it quite laggy. Example : go to -> top devs -> choose one dev -> go back . Here is super laggy. Am I the only one ? (Edit : no i'm not :D)

Exactly, that's what I'm trying to do ... which is not easy :). By doing this, I'm less on my phone & less on my computer. in the same time I delete some time-consuming apps on my phone. One thing I can add is to focus on

Ok so what you are suggesting is to : - create a time machine copy on an external HDD - put the new SSD in the computer, restart it - get the copy of time machine on the new disk Will it be possible to reboot with the brand-new SSD inside t

What could work is to drink water with your old cup of coffee. That might sounds bullshit but, but your body is accustomed to have the coffee cup in hands. It like a smokers that have to have somthing between his fingers, and that's wh

We love meat too. What I do is trying to not go to McDonalds or fast food so often where meat are mostly sh*t, but rather go to a local farmer and buy fresh meat. Maybe twice a week.

I'm facing the same problem. I still have my account for now. What I'm thinging is that if I delete it, the ones that will contact me with an other way (messages, phone, email, ...) will be my true friends and not only fb friend.

One way to reduce the time you are using it, is to uninstall it from your phone as drKarl said. If you still want to be on facebook or messenger to keep a link with your friend, go only with your computer (if you have one) and limit it 15-2

It depends on what you want to achieve. Taking simple notes => MacDown, as iDemonix said. Complex documents (long reports, mathematics notes, ...) => LaTeX. (TexMaker for example). It is totally worth it to spend 1 or 2 days strugglin

First, I deeply think that "world" (but first, your family/friends life) will be improved with a real social life and not only with consumer goods. By social life I'm not speaking of sharing the last meal you eat on ins
