I wonder if we can get some UX folks to volunteer a day to review and write up improvement suggestions for various popular open source projects. I personally know bad UX when I see it, but I'm no expert on making good UX ;-)

Everybody's style is different, but for me, I silence... everything. Nothing dings. Nothing pops up. Not on my macbook, or my phone (Do Not Disturb, always), or even my microwave.

For Slack, I watch for a number in the red dot above its icon. Then I know I need to check it. For e-mail, sometimes e-mails just get by me. It's not usually a problem. For calendar, I have to keep a mental note of my next meeting. That is probably the biggest downside of this setup.

Dreamed?!? Well let me make your dreams come true. Have you heard of radio garden? I found a station for you in Nashville, Tennessee. That's a pretty great place to find good country music.

If you want the truly authentic experience, stick to stations that have their four letter code in the title (starts with a W), because those are 100% real FM radio stations. Enjoy the authentic country music experience. As you head toward the central US, you'll find more and more country music.

Mindustry is a serious bargain at $6. I just got into the game, and while it does stand on its own, it scratched the Factorio itch while I was away from my computer, as it runs on mobile (android). The maps I've seen so far are unique and interesting. I like the tower defense campaign. To me, combat in Mindustry is better than in Factorio. Would totally recommend.

The way some of the replies talk about the front page of imgur (huge time sink, insightful, entertaining, keeps you in the loop) is the same way I'd talk about the FYP on tiktok.
