About 3000 physical books. Many of them I bought as part of a collection, the best one being a compilation of classic sci-fi (500 volumes). The number of physical books is quickly decreasing, though. I'm giving out most of the read one

tbh when I saw the author's name and photo I thought this was Nim's Dominik Picheta ( https://github.com/dom96 ) and the content type + quality was a bit surprising...

I wouldn't call it "badly designed", but certainly heavy. I've opened a free account with ClickUp. It _feels_ a lot snappier in Chrome.

I've used Firefox only for a few years (up until last month or so). I'm no expert and would actually like to know, from the experts here, if the following is my subjective experience or not: I find that for not very heavy or for h

There is no technical solution that FB offers that couldn't be replaced easily. FB itself seems to forget that its major asset is users and that almost everyone that uses FB, uses it simply because "everyone is there". If FB

Textbook frequency illusion. I just rewatched "Fight Club" a few days ago and was thinking "I just saw a movie with him recently!"

I'm all for it (well not making it "shit", but fun and personal). My nostalgia filtered memories are that people spent more time creating stuff (however "shit" it was) than consuming. Your feed was a curated list of

I have ~50Gb so this works well for me: - Local copy on desktop - Google Photos (with upgraded storage) for "everyday" use (sharing albums with family, viewing on phone, etc). - The "proper" backup is done with Kopia to

This may work wonders for others, but it would be terrible for me. This would make me think (obsess) about running out of time and on toiling to make a "legacy". I like the exact opposite, _not_ thinking about mortality or legacy.

I feel the complete opposite way about BBC news. BBC shows, documentaries and radio programmes are some of the best worldwide. But BBC news is often either notoriously pro-government (especially since 2016, when Cameron dictated that govern

They are not victims of the theft, but they can be the product of something (like all of us). If a society instills the values of "every man for himself" and that patience, hard work and helping a fellow human is for chumps, the r

My thoughts exactly. This mindset is present in so many aspects of human society. For instance, drug addiction. Up until recently, people would typically ask "how do we stop people getting access to drugs" instead of "why do

Perhaps I don't subscribe writing "shitty code" on purpose, but there is something to be said about having a code playground where you can explore ideas, API and languages with little care about practices, design or having co

It all boils down to whether people want a PM that is a pathological liar, or one that doesn't even know if he's in a work meeting or a party.

I would argue that since the dawn of humanity, all advancements were only possible because some people made a fuss. "Don't worry, be happy" seems to be a recipe for accepting things as they are. I much prefer "don't

Big fan of Syncthing. And although I agree with people saying that Syncthing and Dropbox are different things, truth is that Dropbox is unbearably bloated nowadays. The app breaks a lot, it's full of shiny useless stuff and it's n

I totally support anything that promotes RSS, but I have to wonder if I live in a bubble. I don't use social media except a single, oft-neglected Mastodon account and get all my info from RSS. According to Newsblur I have ~500 feeds su

The words "care" and "performance" are also overloaded too. I buy the objects but I'm not putting sheets between the pages or building UV-blocking furniture to prevent paper yellowing. I might even give half of them

If we wanted to reduce to the absurd, everything is impermanent. There's bit rot, atoms will decay, everything will fade (or perhaps another big-bang). IMHO, regarding your point on ownership, is what kind of ownership do people want o

People have different sensitivities to the subject of mortality and death, I guess. I grew in a European catholic majority country and I can say death is much more of a taboo and a Bad Subject to discuss in general (at least compared to pro

I haven't actually. I took a quick look at it and (could be wrong) it seems they keep the data on their servers? Data freedom is a biggie for me. I like to have a folder of text files that I can move around, backup as I want and do fun

My journey was somewhat similar (Evernote, Any.do, Bear, Noteplan, Obsidian, LoqSeq) but now I've settled with org-{mode, roam}. There was always _something_ missing from those apps. If you have time and inclination, Emacs can be custo

If anyone already has a Hugo setup, I really recommend org-mode -> ox-hugo[0] -> Hugo. Works great. [0] - https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/
