It’s easy block keywords so you don’t get dancing or politics, or at least, you can reduce it. The algorithm is also very good at serving your interests so if someone tells me all they’re seeing is dancing videos then it tells me they’ve been lingering on those for some reason :)

I’ve also found it a great resource for novel and practical info about:

  • Cooking
  • ADHD & Autism
  • Music production with Logic Pro
  • Human rights news
  • Creativity

I like it for language learning. The books gets tedious as hell but some people have excellent short videos to help remember things and hear them pronounced by native speakers.

I never got the email either so I’m curious too. I’ll save this post.

My heartbeat is very uncomfortable when sleeping on my left. Apparently it’s a common problem. Sleeping on my right solves this for me.

It’s on brand but screenshots are not a valid source.

I see sellers saying estimated delivery time is mid-2025 if I order now. Should I wait until supply improves? I do want the hardback.

That sounds even easier :)

Thank you, that’s very clear. I appreciate it!

Thank you, this sounds promising.

I haven’t used an authenticator so this might be a basic question, but: when you say to share the code, do you mean each time we need to authenticate? Most of us keep our phones on silent so we mightn’t be good candidates for that.

Thank for the helpful reply. I don’t have the email option but as a last resort I could explore Google Voice options in the EU.

 

My Gitlab Pages site works well under domain.com but not under www.domain.com. The www subdomain leads to a 401 message: "You don't have permission to access the resource."

My DNS has a CNAME entry for www pointing to domain.com. When I asked the DNS provider what the problem might be they said "Please contact your hosting provider and provide us with the record needed to be set for www in the DNS zone. The changes should have worked already."

The reason I need this is that some old-school people visiting our website still type www. into the URL bar.

 

Some of my reminders are recurring and while I want them to appear in the app and widgets, I could do without another notification to wrangle with. I still want certain other reminders to trigger a notification.

"The battery game" (self.digitalminimalism)
 

I heard a kid today talking with friends about how they play the "battery game" every day to help them stay off their phone. The goal is simply to have as high a battery percentage on your phone as possible when you get home. Interesting, isn't it?!

 

I’m interested in different perspectives so I’d like to avoid USA, GB etc.

 

Togo is one of the poorest countries in the world and the school uniform is one of the biggest expenses for students and families. Article: https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/school-uniform-that-grows

 

The email said: "Technology updates, such as Google Chrome's plans to deprecate third-party cookies in 2024, are changing the ways you reach audiences and measure results. Build a strong foundation for measuring your ads with the Google tag. Delaying could impact the performance of your ads and features, such as remarketing and conversion measurement."

Now I see that they've changed their minds[1] and so I wonder if I need to do anything with my website.

I’m interested in helping friends tell the difference between fact and fiction, truth and hearsay and general stuff like that that gives peace of mind that they can defend themselves from gaslighting, makes life easier to live, and harder to be taken advantage of by propaganda. Just a few examples.

Bonus points if it’s free. I see one on coursera that runs for four hours per week for several months which works out at roughly over €100 https://www.coursera.org/specializations/logic-critical-thinking-duke
