This morning, I read a couple of posts on Reddit that I liked and wanted to reply to the community. Mistake, as usual:

No big deal, it’s only 10 minutes down the drain. My account is several years old and has a lot of “karma.” I am not behind a VPN this time. There was no bad language or any adult content in my post.

Yes, I know I’m not telling you anything new, and it’s my fault for trying to entertain myself to actually use Reddit for - gasp - posting something. But this is still where most folks (non-techie that is) go to. They don’t have anywhere else. Barking on how everyone should move to Mastodon (I wish) or Lemmy or whatever doesn’t work.

Wondering if anyone found a way to satisfy Reddit’s filters, whatever the hell they are, because they sure don’t make sense to me anymore.

Today started just right so far. Sleep was sufficient, draft writing, a lot of fun with Subnautica (the first one, I’m finishing it up…), and now farmer’s market with River. Good stuff.

Moments looks good.

From Peter:

Moments is a quiet photoblog for people who take photos as part of life.

It is not social media. There are no likes, no follower counts, no rankings, and no pressure to post often.

Moments are simply organised by time, because time is enough. Newer moments come first. Older ones slowly move down.

Why Yes, I'll Buy You a Coffee

While Hakkerman critiques the expectation of financial support for blogging, I am actually in the camp of brib… err… tipping bloggers. No really, let me explain.

Shnatz: Scheduling Mental Afternoon Reboots

I’ve stopped fighting the afternoon slump and started ti accept it as a positive thing I’m looking forward to. Trading 20 minutes of “hustle” for a quick nap gives me a second morning boost, a brain reboot, and enough energy to exercise.

Meta Journal Notes in denote-journal with Journelly

I’ve been wrestling with the privacy trade-offs of journaling on my work-managed iPhone for too long. The solution? Meta denote-journal notes on my Linux desktop. Seems like I write a lot 🤔

Well, hello, Spider-Noir, welcome to Binge City, and thanks for bringing Nicholas Cage along. Where have you been? 📺

Enjoying Vivaldi

I’m enjoying Vivaldi on Linux so far, and I keep discovering new things. As a matter of fact, could I get your help discovering more awesome Vivaldi features?

It seems like the Windows app (RMD) is messing up Emacs. It constantly freezes.

The issue seems to be with copy-paste. pboard (clipboard) doesn’t handle RMD’s clipboard well.

Screw RMD. I will just use my old setup (run locally from the Mac). Every day I like Microsoft even less.

Sometimes you just gotta laugh at yourself.

Interview with an Emacs Enthusiast in 2023 with Emerald McS., PhD

People don’t quit Emacs. They just die at some point.

Brilliant.
