Tried Obsidian multiple times, can't make it work for me. Tried Zettlr a week ago, same result.

Somehow I seem nobody noticed anytype - https://anytype.io/ They're still in beta, looks like they draw inspiration from Notion but it's more closer to what I need.

It's true because advertisers and publishers measure "performance" (hence revenue/prices) based mostly on views & clicks. You will be amazed how many farms are in the open but hidden. And we're not talking on those stupid easy to catch traffic boosters, it's an entire industry behind.

I :) really don't care as long as having a tiny fraction of conversation with 'a machine, LLM, whatever' makes me feel good. I don't question my washing machine neither I expect it to do it with me, but for 'a chatbot'.. it will feel awkward to 'hear' it like a tin-can 'there's no I in Me' :)

Meetings are bad, all should just admit that. They are the lamest things that tries to substitute all formal/non-formal on-site meetings (please read it coffee/tea/snacks breaks).

Online meetings just sucks.

Why?

They waste time. If they happen in the first part of the day, they just dry-out those before-1pm-doers (I include myself here). If they happen in the 2nd part of the day, half will be just tired or waiting for it to be finished.

Countless times no solutions are made during a single meeting, you require 2-3-4 meetings, it can be a full week before something is nailed.

Now, I might be a bit too old but for many-many-many years before "zoom is the new king" thingies, most of us managed to do amazing thing by simply using async comms (emails, docs, chats).

I wish we can turn back to those days simply because it worked well, the additional stress/pressure current meetings are throwing to many of us will result in higher burn-outs rates.

So 72% of developers and designers will work only via their mobile? Can't wait to see more of those huge fonts, 5 words per page and 'tap here' cta :)

Just wanted to add that prices are also rising because of higher transportation costs (sea, land, air), all are on the rise.

Don't think they are affiliated, it's just something that I mainly use as a companion for uBlock to help me quickly generate filters etc.

Also you can use this for uBlock https://letsblock.it

1st I make use of uBlock Origin filters and I blocked all distracting sources (social media, reddit, etc)

2nd I also blocked via browser any images so I have only text

3rd I try to learn or read about things that fit into my interest zone while avoiding anything else

4th Since I live with my gf I try to spend as much time as possible with her (talking mostly), this way we're both off the distracting internet sources

I value my time more since I'm in my mid 40s, I don't think I waste my time on the internet if I'm reading about something that (see point 3)

When I was a child and right after high-school, the internet was either non-existent or not-accessible. But I do believe that it's the most beautiful thing invented in the last century, it's mind blowing how much can you learn/see/find if you don't waste your time into scroll/click spiral.

If you know where to look/search, there are treasures everywhere on the internet.

Yup, a plus from me about the clean 90's look, hope it will stay that way.

Searched for a term, gives +400k results, up to page 80 and still going. Another big plus from me since I just love to search low ranked results, sometimes you find true gems in obscure pages.

Well, I don't have any data, it's enough to look around.

How many products that you buy is produced/manufactured in a country vs those made in China, Vietnam, Bangladesh and so on?

Before moving production to offshore places, those had to be built in Germany, UK, France... name any 1st class country.

Once production is relocated elsewhere, so does the environment related issues.

We can talk in 3-5 years because if they do plan now to reshore back to EU, environment related issues will just raise again in our eco EU.

The truth is that those currently green, eco, etc country who are marching as and how they manage to reduce carbon emissions is that they achieve it mainly via relocating their heavy gas emitting factories to other parts of the world (China, Vietnam, or cheaper Eastern Europeans).

So there is zero chance to cool the planet unless ALL areas will act and have exactly the same laws and rules regarding gas emissions.

Sadly they will just yell louder "It's photoshoped!"

I might repeat what others said but since it's a "huge hobby project":

1) Break it into smaller chunks

2) Prioritize all those smaller chunks by impact, difficulty, and dependency

3) Break them again into smaller pieces based only on difficulty

4) Work based on priorities, get lower diff and high impact first

This way you will start to get a good feeling about your work/project.

Take breaks and make sure you don't burnout.

Good luck!

Well, sadly you will get banned because you dont bring $ into "the network".

Just to close it after a few years? :D

Found those, seems to be well established +19y on the market - https://krystal.uk/

If it's a sim, it's a damn "real thing". The illusion of what we might think it's real seems perfect, where still not sure how we can explain "time" that can be just a simple variable in that sim.

Out of my simple head, I'm a bit uncertain that nothing can past the speed of light. Maybe there's something else traveling at higher speed but we're unable to detect it.

This can be related to the thing you mention about "in simulated reality they could turn up the clock speed". Just rambling thoughts

If we're living in a simulation then there's nothing we can do to "escape". But what if the simulators are long dead (extinct) and simulation continues to just run forever?

Didn't know about this, nice to have so many papers regarding anonymity. Will be great if they start adding everything related to online privacy and so on. The project looks active so nice touch https://gitweb.torproject.org/anonbib.git

Very simple - you won't be able to tell the difference. Philip.K. Dick painted this future so well in his "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" novel.

You touched some true points here. Your site = Your rules. And it's not that hard to have a photo/video gallery for family/friends to see or even contribute.

Hosting prices are on the golden age, not see any issues here. But well, depends on each requirements.

Bring back:

1) Personal blogs 2) Blogroll 3) Web-rings and web-directories with manually curated links

I left all "social media platforms" 4 years ago, never look back, never miss anything important

I use it (Zola) for my personal humble blog https://undeadalien.xyz Disclosure: It's in Romanian, no cookies, no JS, no trackers

Beaker Browser https://beakerbrowser.com/ seems dead, loved the concept but it's no longer updated

Now that you've asked, nope, didn't found anything with a clear future on the "Web3" side of the internet. Vast majority make use of crypto/blockchain and IMHO blockchain is anything but not decentralization.

Not really new but I'm all in self-hosting, decentralization, privacy and original web owned by individuals rather than big corp. I never manage to get drowned in any social media trends or platform.

I really like Zola https://www.getzola.org/

Well, the winner can now waste $1.18M each day and will be left with nothing in 365 days :)

The moment a platform start the "monetization war" and have some "influencers" working for them and get traction... that moment will kill/bury original and honest content made from passion and not "to make a living, to win $".

The same way blogs died long ago, remember all the craze about having a blog, affiliate links, earn a living blabla

People jumped in.. and so advertisers.. and so 'they killed Kenny"

Imagine YT videos without ads (ok, buy a premium but.. the trash is still there just wihout ads), so it's not a solution, not anymore.

I just stopped watching YT, I just try to find articles and read them, using adblockers and imagine what: I disabled all images in Firefox, too much distraction.

When did the world became so sensitive? I know I might be downvoted but c'mon! If someone sane can think 'Monkeypox' is a racist name then it's game over.

Beaker seems left unattended, last update 2y ago :(

Most Ukrainians didn't believe that Russians will invade them even if they can see the massive forces pilling up 1 feet to their border. This wasn't possible in 2022, they think. Oh well, guess what? Reality always beats even the most brilliant sci-fi writer.

A collapse of our current society, that is mainly based on paper-money can happen. And even if some of us can see that certain things looks awkward, our brain is fooling us into the safest route "don't panic, it cannot happen to me".

I say it's just a matter of time for a major shift of how our civilization keeps going ahead.
