Maybe not exactly this, but I recently read How To Break Up With Your Phone and really loved it. Short read, and even if you don’t follow the whole 30-day routine she outlines (I didn’t), it’s full of great prompts/thoughts on more responsibly looking at your consumption habits and I came away with several practices that have made a big difference for me.
Correct. If you do it now, there’s a notice about this feature going away.
My favorite Calibre thing was when the creator was interviewed and asked about the common complaint that Calibre is ugly and he was basically like “actually it’s not.”
I’m slightly younger (born in 86) but went through a similar thought process a couple of years back. I remembered being an avid reader as a kid but could barely make it through a book or two a year, and struggled to maintain any form of attention span. I forced myself to read more for about the first month, then I got addicted to it again and ended up reading 42 books that year. I’m very conscious now about pretty much always having my devices in some form of focus mode/app time limits and prioritizing focus/reading time. I feel much better.
Bro looking at your last two posts… if you’re not trolling, you might want to get some help before you really go off the deep end. Reminds me of unsuccessfully trying to convince a friend they’re about to “invest” in a pyramid scheme.
Damn, that’s a long run!
Honestly I’ve been getting much happier the less fucks I give.
I noticed this feature wasn’t available for my Colorsoft and asked support about it. They assured me it would be added later. This is exactly what I expected to happen.
Same. I feel like I’d look so weird with hair now.
Same. Saving this.
I’ve made a couple of Firefox extensions just for personal/fun stuff, might give this a shot.
I just appreciate that DDG lets me turn this garbage off.

Hah yeah I guess I combined those confusingly. It was both of those things hitting around the same time, I switched to FF and DDG.
I switched to DDG recently due to the manifest v3 changes and AI junk and have been really liking it. It feels like what Google used to be when it was good.
If you’re on macOS, you can select text from an image directly in Preview.
We’re hearing it was a sick ostrich.
I wish mine was like that. Mine just screams and doesn’t want to be picked up.
I use LLM-type AI every day as a software developer. It’s incredibly helpful in many contexts, but you have to understand what it’s designed to do and what its limitations are.
I went back and forth with Claude and ChatGPT today about its logic being incorrect and it telling me “You’re right,” then outputting the same/similar erroneous code it output before, until I needed to just slow down and fix some fundamental issues with its output myself. It’s certainly a force multiplier, but not at any kind of scale without guidance.
I’m not convinced AI, in its current incarnation, can be used to write code at a reasonable scale without human intervention. Though I hope we get there so I can retire.
Thanks, I use them and didn’t know this was a feature. My favorite iOS cribbage app doesn’t offer a paid tier to remove the ads, and this took care of it.
