A few tools to de-enshittify/enhance specific websites.
I don't have to tell the Hacker News crowd how junked up the web has become.

TL;DR we're not responsible, go talk to LinkedIn.
Sorry, I mean I want to view my soc media feeds in this dashboard. I'm familiar with those tools - they are for mass posting of content.
Worth clarifying what 1 credit gets you. "100 credits per month" is meaningless unless it's clear what that buys.
Yeah, this can work. Also, hunter.io.
LinkedIn won't provide contact emails.
It's called 'State Street Dodge'. You play a bicycle messenger in 1990s downtown Madison, Wisconsin, rushing important legal documents across the isthmus. You ride a super sweet freestyle BMX bike, and you rack up points for doing tricks, jumping beer truck ramps, riding up walls, and dodging the ever shifting throngs of college students, hayseed tourists, and harried bureaucrats. Bonus levels let you switch to skateboard, Rollerblades, and fixie. Soundtrack is awesome. Lots of Easter eggs.
It's sad that this process is so broken that it takes a skilled coder to roll their own, just to get good, organized information.
We were promised jetpacks!
In many cases, I believe it is. Consider Tim Ferriss' book 'The 4 hour work week' for example. It had lots of creative ideas, and many folks used them successfully. But by the time the book was published, the market had changed. Google Adwords used to be Hella cheap, which is part of what enabled methods described in the book. But they're not anymore, and there's too much of everything.
OP here. Great comments and ideas, all. A few notes: * Talon is pretty great * I think the market for text to speech and voice control is huge, and maybe Dragon/Nuance rules it because of their patents, but oh, does it suck. Like being stuck on Windows 95 or something. * Voice Recognition is in fact currently good enough to get real work done efficiently * Serious RSI can't be fixed with ergonomics or better devices * If there were a modern alternative to Dragon, it would solve a chunk of the problem
It's true that computer control currently requires a lot of customization, but I see no practical reason why we can't at least make simple commands fast and accurate, i.e., 'create new html document in VS Code'.
Dragon Pro, voice recognition software. Awful UI, known bugs that never get fixed, incompatible with critical applications like web browsers. Why? It's my understanding that they have no real competition. If you need to "drive" your computer with your voice, Dragon is all there is. In fact, it is pretty limited without the addition of Voice Computer, which allows you to command Windows to do certain things, like switch programs, etc.
Dragon is so important to my workflow, while so shitty a program, that I would pay three or four times its cost for a competing product that actually worked well.

RespiraWorks invites you to a conversation with the volunteers who are inventing an open-source ventilator to assist in the fight against COVID-19.
We are a group of over 100 doctors, engineers, web developers, artists, project managers, and software programmers in 6 countries, all working together remotely. We will talk about where we were when the pandemic started, how we found each other, how we came together to design a ventilator, what skills we are using, and how we are collaborating with so many people around the world.
Note to other readers - Windows' speech to text, while function, has inferior voice recognition to The Goog.
Whoa. How did I miss that? Thanks!
Are there any add ons or widgets that enhance it?
Thanks everyone - good feedback.
This is truly horrible. These kinds of looping gifs have all the appeal of watching 4-year-old pick her nose.
We'd be glad to help. We have a stable of designers with different aesthetics, I'm sure we'll have one to match.

I'd start a foundation that funds research on medical 'open secrets'--treatments that show great potential but can't be patented and hence do not get funding consistent with that potential.
I suppose the ideal mentors will have experience in the music industry, online marketing or social networks. We're not looking for especially tech-focused advice, but rather people who can advise on business directions and marketing approaches.
I've used a 26" TV, set to a relatively low resolution (1366X768), as a primary screen for a few years now. I have a secondary 19" monitor next to it.
The low-res and relative large size of text, etc. allows me to sit further back from the screen, reducing eyestrain.
If you're going to do this, make sure to confirm the native resolution of the TV/monitor you're buying is exactly what you want. Or bring a laptop to the store and plug it in and try it.

Did you just use Google ads to draw traffic?
In some cases, paying an attorney $100 to draft a letter on law firm stationery, and mail it certified US Mail, will prod the client to pay you. I did this once.
The Steelcase Leap has been great, you should check one out in person. It has many different little adjustable elements to fit your torso. I chose it over the Aeron because of its adjustability.
Make sure to get up and move, stretch, walk every hour or two, it will help save your back.
I've had good results with JakPrints.com for a printer.
