I don't think I can officially talk about it publicly yet, but the ebook app I am testing right now truly feels like it could change the social reading ecosystem. #booksky

“In some ways, Axon is actually worse than Flock,” EFF's @maassive.bsky.social told @indyweek.bsky.social. “Flock never had mobile license plate cameras, and Axon does. They install them on patrol cars, and that means patrol cars become like roving data vacuums.”

#Minimalism isn't the solution to any of our problems. It's the result of living a more disciplined, intentional life. Many of us are treating the outcome as the mechanism; the end as the beginning.

Trans existence challenges societal expectations. Stoic philosophy combats mental bloat. To me, it feels like practicing #Stoicism is a natural way for me, as a #nonbinary person, to embrace my true self, of becoming one with the Logos.

The most radical move in an outrage-driven feed is choosing tranquility, which Bluesky gives you the power to do. Refusing to react is an act of Stoic self-defense.

As I've been practicing #stoicism over the years, there's one small principle that's truly alleviated much of my anxiety: you don't have to have an opinion on everything, and not everything requires deep reflection. Sometimes you just have to let the noise pass.

True autonomy isn't found in constant connectivity, nor is tranquility found in passive comfort. It is found in intentional constraint.

I think there may always be a part of me that secretly wants Bluesky to be 2010-2020 Twitter. It never will be, so let's hope that doesn't keep me from seeing what Bluesky truly has to offer.

Imo, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 looks much cleaner than the iPhone Duo. I'd love a passport style Pixel Fold update next year that resembles Samsung's symmetrical design language over Apple's. But we know if Google drops a wide foldable, it will fall much more inline with Apple than Samsung.

Been actually giving Google Keep a run for its money...or should I say I can't stop using it now...? I like to try out all the major note taking apps here and there, and I haven't given Keep an honest shot in years. I'm dumbfounded at how useful I find it. It really is just seamless...

If you're on Android, Gemini is hands down the best LLM. Outside of that, it is definitely more of a toss up, but still, more often than not, Gemini ends up at or near the top anyway.

I have been seriously underestimating how good of a read-it-later app Raindrop.io is. Honestly, it's one of the best I've ever used. It felt too complicated at first, but once I wrapped my head around a solid workflow, I realized it actually rivals Instapaper and Readwise Reader.
