You have articulated my feelings, behavior, and outlook almost exactly. I feel so hopeless every time I read an article like this. I've joined climate activist groups and meetups, and I've donated to orgs and political candidates. But I just feel like there's so much more damage to be done before we get to substantial improvements, it's so disheartening

This is horrible news

I still use Hype Machine! It's definitely fallen off as music blogs faded away, but it's still a great site

Great work, this is so cool to see!

This is really sad to read. Unfortunate that it will likely keep happening as forests disappear, seas acidify, and climate keeps warming. Very scary.

Am I happy about it? No. But I don't understand the huge backlash in all the comments yesterday. It felt like everyone overreacted. For me, Firefox still checks off the most boxes of what I want in a browser.

This fantastic, thanks for sharing. So happy for you and Billie!

Thanks for sharing, this is fascinating

How does NovaMin / calcium sodium phosphosilicate compare to toothpaste with nanohydroxyapatite in it?

Also have the same setup. Very few issues. Been very happy with the switch

Full title: Silicon Valley’s latest argument against regulating AI: that would literally be the Antichrist

Wow, these are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!

Semi-related: is there a modern equivalent of Notational Velocity? I used to love it. Similar to this app, there was a focus on speed. But Notational Velocity (and NValt) also had great search built-in

I also have an eight sleep mattress topper. I was unaware of the privacy issues here, but I feel the same as parent that I won't give it up. Having the ability to always have a cool bed has improved my sleep substantially. And the heating is great when you're sick.

Now if a competitor crops up that has better privacy and a better CEO, I'll swap in a heartbeat.

Note: I don't pay for the subscription, just the mattress topper

I think since Steam has been working so hard on Steam Deck and SteamOS the compatibility has skyrocketed to pretty much parity with Windows

I use Pop!_OS for my gaming rig. Pretty well optimized for gaming and light programming. Been enjoying it

Another happy Inoreader user here!

I'm also feeling quite worried about it. Per your first link, I didn't realize that the compostable alternatives I try to seek out could be just as bad or worse. The article corroborates unfortunately:

Most of the chemicals leaching from food packaging come from plastics, but not all of them. “Probably the worst one is recycled paper and cardboard,” Muncke said. “And I know that’s a hard one to stomach.” Recycling paper, cardboard or plastic for food packaging leads to nonfood grade inks mixed in next to food, she explained, adding to the chemical risks.

Hype machine is great, still an active user and supporter!

Great idea. I also see inspiration from Andy Matuschak's notes [0], of which I'm a bit fan

We went to a comedy show once when visiting the New York office, it was great, but sadly only a one time thing.

I love that you guys have made it a regular outing

I often recall the Robin Williams quote:

“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.”

I consider myself funny and am always joking around. However, I never felt such strong association with comedians until after both of my parents passed in difficult fashions. I felt such a strong need to be funny, like it was my only good personality trait. I eventually took a standup class. I enjoyed getting on stage and working up to my 5 min set. I still write jokes and go to open mics every now and then.

The two takeaways I have are:

* the practice of writing everyday was key. Having to articulate what was actually upsetting me—instead of just saying "I hate this or that"—to find what was funny or absurd about it really helped me release a lot of the pent up anger.

* like the quote, making other people laugh was/is so rewarding both for my own self-esteem and for knowing that I brought a little joy to others

I have been making an effort to only buy athletic wear with 100% recycled polyester. I guess now I throw them all out and only buy wasteful virgin polyester athletic wear?

Same exact thing happened to me. Super frustrating. I'm ready to just leave it uninstalled at this point.

I'll probably switch to Sunsama or give Amie a try again

It's funny, I also consider it a red flag if they're still using Sketch. However, personally, I still want Sketch to succeed and return to being a viable option

As the article mentions, between these reindeer sleeping while they eat and penguins sleeping for 4 seconds at a time, it's pretty amazing what we're learning about how animals sleep. I wonder if humans can ever learn to use these "other" means of sleep

I've never heard of these fern-based supplements before. How are they supposed to be better than other antioxidants?

Thanks, never knew that!

Curious how gas x helps with acid reflux. My understanding is that it's for bloating more than reflux. Do you find it works better than antacids?
