Would you mind linking to your live-stream recordings? I love listening to choral chants and whatnot. Very soothing.

Domains around here are amazingly creative. It's an important part of the package, and if it delivers a surprise and a chuckle like this all the better.

Recenty my browser's home page is a real-time stream of randomly clipped newspaper articles going back to the 1600s: https://newspaperarchive.com/clippings/ It's fun to see what people are digging into the ne

Ditto. I put everything in newsblur and get a holistic view of topics I care about, and can zoom in and read articles when they grab me.

Since when did face-blockers look like a vortex into another dimension? Creepy.

I don't use Firefox often because of the constant updating that prevents me from using it right away. Chrome and Brave don't seem to do that, at least not in the same obvious way that Firefox does.

Whenever I start up Firefox it tells me to wait a few moments while it updates. The browser obviously doesn't care about me. It has its own agenda. This is why I won't use it.

The gtd system by David Allen and a blank text file will get you 90 percent there. An app like Dynalist pro will get you the other 10 percent.

The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The next best time is now. This also applies to getting a pardon. Thanks for sticking up for animals who cannot advocate for themselves. I consider you a hero.

The old Slashdot. I also had a website called hardcorelinux.com where I evangelized Linux, and I miss that too.

I work at a homeless shelter where a young guy in his mid twenties recently had a stroke that left one of his hands completely limp. He's active and outdoors all day, but cannot self-isolate at night because he lives in a shelter. I wa

My jaw dropped as soon as I saw this submission. As a Christian who has recently gotten into crypto, I thought it might be Ripple / XRP that would fullfil this prophesy. It looks like it will be Microsoft. Feeling some serious chills!

My concern is that a lot of stand-up comedy is really "blue" and NSFW. Are there warnings or ratings for each set (I don't see any). Do you provide clean content?

I recently took a Coursera course on Schizophrenia and found it fascinating. YMMV of course.

Along the same line is Deepchord, a dub techno band I've been getting into lately. Can't wait for the next BoC release though!

STAY WHERE YOU ARE and make arrangements to make staggered/partial payments at a later date. STAY WHERE YOU ARE. I work at a homeless shelter and see first-hand how not having a safe place to work from and store your things complicates

I love this idea. So much potential. A way you might improve it is include tomorrow's Todo list below the tomatoes? That would also make better use of the paper. P.S. The price for the PDF may be a touch high. I'd drop it by a buc

Not if you like nerding out on this stuff. Then it's more like a hobby or pleasant diversion. But I agree one needs to zoom out and put things into its proper perspective.

I use Readwise.io almost obsessively and would use your app too, but I'm on Android. Any plans for an Android app?

DNA kits for Ancestry.com and MyHeritage are half price. MyHeritage also has genetic risk/carrier status report + DNA matching kit that's also 50 percent off.

The Fitbit brand-name has become a generic term like Aspirin, Kleenex or Google. That must be a big part of it's appeal for Alphabet. When you own Fitbit, you own the category.

Readwise for storing highlights and excerpts from books, articles etc. Lots of customization under the hood. https://readwise.io/

Then why not Svbtle or Write.as? You have lots of affordable or even free choices.

Right, and in marketing-speak it's called positioning. Taking a privacy stance allowed Apple to differentiate against their competitors without actually innovating.
