Cool, but there's an error there. "Just sit" is not a Zen koan, although it is a meditative technique used in Zen-Buddhism, particularly the Japanese Soto school of Zen. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikantaza

#42Is what?
Re: Sit.
#43In this, they are still trying to get the person to meditate. To sit with very little and wonder what they are doing wrong.
A few months ago I created Harbor (getharbor.app) which played some sounds with some haptics and tried to get people to focus on the sensation of the haptics.
I'm a meditator, but I know many people who aren't and trying to get them to just "sit" and do nothing is a challenge. Some people get stressed out about are they doing it "right".
These are the challenges to try to overcome with meditation, so I'm not quite sure why Sit is different to other timers.

I’m curious what the ants are up to, do they do a great deal currently? I’ve been running it for a short while and they’ve dug a little L shape with blue pheromones vertically, and purple horizontally - looks like they are putting food in the horizontal but one ant is stuck behind a food block. Poor Taquan. Edit: the ‘view crater’ button also crashes the simulation, at least on an M2 Air using Chrome 120
So, ant.care is intentionally designed to be a slow moving experience, goal is to have it unfold over real-world months, but until I get sufficient environmental depth it's going to feel weird. I give the user the ability to control time in sandbox mode to provide a practical means of demoing. The queen will give birth to worker ants every hour or so. Worker ants have a low chance of applying tunnel/nesting pheromone…
This is a really cool idea, I will try out your app!

This behavior is a pet peeve of mine. I almost never want anything to be fullscreen, and it's extremely irritating when applications or, especially, if a website makes the browser do it.

Browsers allow entering fullscreen as long as it's in response to user input, such as clicking a button. When entering fullscreen, browsers emit a prompt about exiting fullscreen, partly to make sure people know how to exit and partly to make sure entering fullscreen doesn't go unnoticed. So, it'd be hard to pull off such an attack.

That's what you'd think, but people rarely pay that much attention. The fullscreen prompt only shows up for a few seconds.
For example, recently a family member clicked on a fake YouTube link from an ad in Google's search results. Clicked the search bar and it immediately turned their whole screen into a "call apple support" popup.
They called me up because they thought it was a virus, but really it was just a fullscreen webpage, and being not very technologically inclined, they didn't even try Esc, Cmd+Tab, Cmd+Q, etc.

How many people actually read prompts? People literally share 2FA codes with scammers over the phone even though the SMS itself tells them not to share it with anyone, including their own support workers.

That's why I've installed adblock on every relative/friend's browser. Also disabled browser's notifications.
Then one day one of them blindly followed instructions to remove it so they can access an online newspaper. The only time they could actually follow instructions, it was actually malicious.

Re: Sit.
#50The together version found here https://nothing-together.sonnet.io/ is neat as well, you can play simple sounds to another person or a bell gong to everyone
One thing i found a bit distracting is the very obvious looping point of the background music
