- Comment on “Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect.” 7 hours ago:
This will be a generalization, so it doesn’t apply to all cases, but for the most part, you are far worse at helping others of you’re unable to help yourself. If you’re unable to show others as an example of the fruits of their labor of change, it will be far more difficult to lead them to helping themselves.
The goal is not to hand people fish. It’s to teach them. If you just give someone your help without teaching them, they will only become reliant on that help.

TGFM - Thank God for Markdown
Seriously, though. 9 times out of 10, markdown has all the formatting I need for the task at hand. On the rare occasion I need something more, I’m glad I have access to Apple Pages, but it comes with its own set of unique challenges.

Love my Funkey. It’s so fun busting this out of my coin pocket to play some Gran Turismo. Hilariously impractical, but fantastically novel.
- Comment on Capitalism turns countries into businesses to support the lavish lifestyle of capital holders and the government into HR to silence the workers 5 days ago:
Governments should not aim to be profitable. Full stop. Their goal should be to just eek by with enough funding to stay afloat and the rest should go to public services.
Government having lots of money only does good for those in power.

Thank you for this! I’ve been trying to find a NextCloud replacement for years. I personally can’t stand the database approach to managing files. So glad to see Sync-In can just add a system folder directly without having to import.

- Comment on iPhone case with e-ink display lets users read books and comics without screen glare 1 week ago:
My inner skeptic sees an app and just knows that they’re collecting everything that goes through it. Not to mention it will probably a brick in a few years. It’s a product that’s a neat engineering accomplishment but I doubt it would actually get much more than a few hours of use on its couple of years of existence before you get your next iPhone that this no longer fits.
Side thought: this could have been a MagSafe attachment which would have made it compatible with a much wider range of models.

So I looked into it and there’s a few indicators this will either be vaporware or garbage:
- It’s a Kickstarter with an original funding price of $5000, which is nowhere near enough to fund something this complex
- AI is being pushed as a major component
- Video is very high production value in some ways, but very low in others, and before the product is funded
- No technical explanation of how it’s going to do any of what it claims and no one from the development side is involved in the video. Just a pure commercial.
- Dozens of news sites I’ve never heard of all repeating the same press release with no real info or interviews
Just to name a few… My guess is that the OS will suffer from being difficult to navigate and unresponsive from all the garbage they try to cram on it and none of it will be intuitive.

- Comment on My Religion 1 week ago:
This right here I think is the ultimate way to practice religion. It’s an excellent framework for helping understand your connection to the universe and how your morality intertwines.
I’ve been reading up on Taoism and one of the things I resonated with is that it accepts the idea that you can worship anything. Even a rock. It’s not about actually believing that the thing holds power, but rather allowing yourself to give in a bit to the universe in an understanding that you are ultimately powerless. You have to give up some of your agency to the idea that there is power beyond your control and understanding and you have to accept that.
If you believe you’re an individual being separate from the world around you, the world will catch up to that idea. Aggressively. But if you accept that the world does not cater to you, and if you surrender some of that responsibility to a higher power, you’re not nearly as blindsided when the world finds you.

This would be funny if Windows hadn’t forced the Windows 11 update which cost many people a computer and if Mac hadn’t been putting out free OS updates as long as the hardware supports it for decades now.
