The latest update of my Oura ring has a chart of stress over the course of the day and it’s giving me too much information vibes.

Knowing which conversations, activities or people create stress just adds a new layer of stress if there’s nothing you can do to avoid them.

@carnage4life avoiding discomfort is not the path to walk. Learning to no longer view something as discomfort is.

Today I broke I system. I think I screwed something during the grub2 update! However knowing my system was largely in tact, I set to work chrooting into it using a bootable USB, reinstalling some things, and re-doing the grub install from the handbook. Boom, back in service and catastrophe averted.

Apple considered ditching Google for DuckDuckGo in Safari’s private mode

But Apple exec argued DuckDuckGo wasn't as private as believed.

Fidelity and a bunch of other banks have funded a competitor to Plaid called Akoya and then blocked access to Plaid so apps have to switch from Plaid.

This is a similar playbook to how banks funded Zelle and brute forced their way into Venmo & Cash app’s market.

I wonder if the FTC & DOJ will be blind, deaf and dumb to this one since it’s banks not big tech.

@carnage4life if only Plaid hadn't started off screen scraping/api scraping major banks and playing IP Block whack-a-mole to keep major banks available on their service prior to banks implementing OAuth/third party tokens.

New moral panic; did you know your kid’s phone shows over 200 push notifications a day, what does all this buzzing of their phone do to their minds?

We have no idea but maybe we can get people to freak out until sone research shows it’s a nothing burger.

One of the fun challenges of building social products or even multiplayer games is that you can give people tools but can’t control how they use them.

You can tell people to use quote posts positively but can’t control people using them to dunk. Your game can limit communication to a fixed set of emoji reactions and users will find a way to imbue them with both positive and toxic meanings.

People are the hardest part of social software.

This is going to be the first year for many big tech people’s careers where planning for the next year isn’t about getting headcount to do more.

It’ll be interesting to see how various product teams and companies cope. We’re already seeing canceled projects, spin offs and more layoffs at Snap & Epic. This won’t be the end as more companies get further into 2024 planning.

@carnage4life someone should tell the product owners because my guess is they won't get the message.

I took a good few notes during Open Source Summit in Bilbao last week. For quick and distraction free editing, i used Emacs and Org mode.

Creating a Confluence page afterwards was only a matter of:

  • In Emacs, do M-x ox-jira-export-as-jira
  • create new page in Confluence (or blog post)
  • Select to insert "Markup"
  • Paste in the Jira markup export from Emacs

Done!

Quotes, code blocks, lists, head lines. Everything perfectly formatted the Confluence way.

@withoutclass@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@skybert I've been a little curious about exporting to before, but I have such a strong aversion to Confluence that I've avoided looking for a package to do it. Instead I just publish my entire second brain to our internal GitHub and link directly, but I do get concerned about the sustainability and leaking things that shouldn't be published.

Does the package work pretty well?

In tonight's there was a sense for how, for me these days, it's not about what I'm experiencing — it's not about joy or pleasure or worry or fear, or any of that. It's not even about being quiet, although quiet is a kind of help and support.

It's about the mechanics of experiencing.

And it can sound perhaps odd, but for me a heart of the mechanics of experiencing is less about what is happening, and it's more about the fact that anything is happening.

@bodhidave sounds like moving from experiencing to being the experience :)

@danderzei awesome!

Hi I think I may have found a typo in the article: https://lucidmanager.org/productivity/why-use-emacs/

"Emacs is as such the Army Chainsaw of productivity."

Earlier you used Swiss Army Chainsaw, so perhaps that is what was meant again?

Apologies if not so.
