Here are the apps I used that I'm not seeing.

  • FoodNoms for calorie counting
  • Waking Up for guided meditation
  • Finch for gamified general mental health
  • Future for asynchronous virtual training
  • Tripsy for travel tracking
  • Organic Maps for offline mapping
  • Transit for navigating most US cities via public transit
  • Fastmail for personal email (Apple Mail for work email)
  • 1Password for password management
  • Elaho for browsing Gemini
  • Tidal for music
  • Vellum for cool backgrounds
  • SwiftScan for scanning documents
  • iPlum for a cheap business phone number
  • Kagi Search to set the Kagi search engine as the default in Safari
  • Parcel for package tracking
  • Mona for Mastodon

And I'll second some others.

  • Overcast
  • Bookplayer
  • Reeder
  • AnyList
  • Sleep Cycle
  • Signal
  • Obsidian
  • Vinegar
  • Noir

Yeah, definitely depends on who I'm recommending to. If it's someone who's pretty familiar with games, I think it would be Elden Ring. Love the sense of exploration and discovery in that game.

Recent change in life circumstances, and now I'm trying to figure out how to be an adult about food. I want to focus on eating healthy. I have very little foundational knowledge, so I need ELI5-level content. I'd love some online resources that I could use to learn. In-person classes are not a great fit. Anyone have any recommendations?

I switched fairly recently. I was on Ting before, and they appear to be quietly sunsetting that service after Dish Network bought them a few years back. Hoping the same doesn't happen to Mint. It's been great so far. Incredible value!

Yeah, come to think of it, I think this is a larger issue I have in life: I always have to be working toward a goal or else I feel guilty. I can see your point of view too though. If there's no beginning and end, there's no minimum amount of time you need to play. The goal is just to enjoy.

My perspective is basically the inverse: if there's no beginning and end, there's no maximum amount of time I need to play. 😅

I don't feel this way about open-world games because they do usually have an end and you can skip a lot of the open-world filler content. I get this anxiety about sandbox games. I hate it because I really enjoy games like Cities Skylines and I'd love to get into Dwarf Fortress, but I can't play them anymore because I could spend 1,000 hours in one of them and never finish. That open-endedness keeps me from playing.

Greater transparency under capitalism is always a good thing. I have to admit, one thing Trump did that I liked was to force hospitals to publish their prices. I can't think of a good reason people buying a thing shouldn't know how much it costs beforehand.

All great points, and you're definitely right that it's not black and white.

I would like to make a distinction between a “content creator” in the literal sense — just a person who creates content — and a “content creator” as the phrase is commonly used today — a person who makes a living by selling content or by giving away content to market something else.

I, for one, would be very interested in seeing more people on the fediverse creating content, but I’m not super interested in the fediverse becoming a marketing channel for professional content creators.

Of course, it’s an open platform, so pro content creators are more than welcome to join. I’m just not super excited about approaching them and saying, “please come hock your wares to us on the fediverse!”

I've installed a bidet attachment as a renter. Make sure you use plumbers tape and, after your install, leave a piece of paper under the installation overnight to make sure it's not leaking. When you leave, uninstalling is pretty easy.

  • The internet was way better before it became a giant shopping mall.
  • Those cars that don't have the flecks in the paint look like children's toys.

Then, I have a couple that pre-date even boomers by many years 😅:

  • Handkerchiefs kick the shit out of paper tissues.
  • Cars have made the world a worse place.

Just got around to playing (most of) Mother 3 last year. It has a lot of the same charm and is really interesting in its own way… but it still didn't hit me quite the same way Earthbound did.
