If you don't think AI will include sponsors/ads/etc once someone comes out on top, well, I might have a bridge to sell you. Seriously though, I'm not sure why Google evolving in th…

Features don't exist until Apple "invents" them /sarcasm

Every 5 years on average since the late 90s the industry has doubled in size. Add in natural attrition (and the other things you mentioned, ageism, management or other tech adjecen…

Amazon did re-enable downloads for books without DRM, in the same place in the Content Library. Not as good as it was before, but better than nothing.

While there was a lot of FUD in the media, there were also a lot of scenarios that were actually possible but were averted due to a LOT of work and attention ahead of time. It shou…

Unless you're forced into using certain tool (work, etc), start by standardizing on a single tool. That's one reason a lot of people like Obsidian, but there are plenty of similar …

Bit sad that the DevTools Accessibility Inspector was one of the "superfluous" items, at least without a "if you're not a dev" type of disclaimer. If you do any web development, se…

This is a great reminder that I need to re-incorporate exercise into my routines, thanks! It fell out a little while back, and it has a very positive effect overall.

Resist the urge to over-complicate things. With ADHD, it's really easy to hyperfocus and end up building a "beautiful" system that doesn't work at all for you. Then you give up and…

FWIW, I do aim for inbox-zero for email, and similar for chat apps (Slack/Teams). Otherwise it piles up and gets overwhelming. I'm referring more to things like - "only the exact t…

The author found something that works for them, but for some folks who have working memory issues (i.e. ADHD), using visual cues as reminders is one of the top tips in ways to addr…

Thanks for pulling/including those quotes

> Claude is an LLM. It can't keep slaves or torture people. Yet... I would push back and argue that with advances in parallel with robotics and autonomous vehicles, both of those t…

I was surprised this wasn't on there, even with a caveat that it's for online sources like you note.

I'd say what you call bloated is in many cases basic functionality that I don't have to go looking for some third party package to fill. There is something to be said for having a …

> widely regarded as terrible and slow to adapt I know you are saying you do work mainly in Angular, but for others reading this, I don't think this is giving modern Angular the cr…

Sometimes it is nice to have a separate application for notes compared to the editor being used for code. It means they can be customized for their individual purposes. Sometimes t…

FWIW re: performance, I love Obsidian, but performance is it's one main downside for me. I could care less about the real-time collaboration (they are my notes, not for team consum…

My understanding, the SVGs were imported directly and embedded as code, not as a `src` for an img tag. This is very common, it's a subjectively better (albeit with good security pr…

If I can run my own code but in your context, I can pull in malicious scripts. With those (all these are "possible" but not always, as usual, it depends, and random off the top of …

I suspect I'm preaching to the choir, but that is a communication issue and a sign the "rewards system" is out of whack, not a "reason" not to push for regular maintenance/tech deb…

In the spirit of that exercise, the fixes should not take an excessive amount of time to review. If they are, it's likely either the scope of the fix is too large for that kind of …

Not invalidating your viewpoint and I'd bet we are pretty well aligned, I too have a pretty local-first view and that as a country we put too much emphasis, energy, and discussion …

If there is any reason for the test, it would be diagnostic and not preventative, and that is generally covered. Just checking cause you want to know your levels generally wouldn't…

Generally agree, but unlike water-soluable vitamins, vitamin D can store excess in fatty tissue and the liver, and so if a person takes a large dose (generally 10,000 IU daily or m…
