I've benefitted a lot from setting up digital silos to keep different kinds of content separate. Separate email apps and browsers for "work" and "personal" stuff, for instance.

This HN post got me thinking that maybe a "content consumption" browser might even be worth considering. All the "to read/watch" tabs in one place, etc. This Basic Attention Token, if well implemented, would complement that approach perfectly I think: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15722299

Intensively reasearching, coveting and then purposely NOT buying that fancy gadget is the new blindly buying that fancy gadget

#TMI 😓

Being a black coffee drinker is the best.

Milk gone sour? No problem.
Ran out of sugar? Meh, stuff is poison anyway.

Just give me a plain ol' hot cup of bitter burnt bean water and I'm happy.

Heyyy #photography peeps of masto:

Since I'm trying to spend less time looking at my phone and more time being present irl, I've decided to buy a film camera.

Caveats:
- I'm not a real photographer and never will be, so a simple point and shoot with a few settings to play around with is the name of the game
- looking for something cheap (sub €100) that could be broken, stolen or lost without too much heartbreak

#recommendations? Looking at vintage 35mms and "toy cameras" at the moment...

The mastodon stages:

1: getting used to the interface

2: discovering that most people are just people, engaged in everyday adventures, big & small

3: the allure of the notification sound

4: a gradual getting used to the fact that not everything is about US politics, and that it's okay to filter it out on a macro level

5: a quiet moment when you think "there can still be poetry in this world"

6: some sort of reconciliation with the quantum magic that is the federated timeline

7: pineapples

Man, the outcry when they finally sunset Wunderlist is going to be so huge.

It ain't just nerds this time – normals be using WL like gangbusters

Speaking of which, we need to find a way to get John Roderick on here.

Paraphrasing John Roderick: If someone is super nerdy and obsessive about something, I want to hear about it. Doesn't matter what the specific topic is – the high level of interest and enthusiasm makes it interesting.

↑ THIS is what keeps me coming back to masto. Nice people nerding out about whatever their jam is, in a welcoming environment.
