  • That's a sane number. You're my role model :)

  • That is the funniest comment termination I've ever read :D

    It sounds like you have a very clear system. That's what I want to get to and am getting to.

    I have been very diligent about saving bookmarks to the relevant folders, so on the surface everything looked organised. Only when I did the export I realised I had way more info than I could possibly ever consume. I'm down to under 300 now with the rest living in a HTML page/dashboard I can visit if I ever need to.

  • The export contains all the bookmarks in one file. So searching for 'http' gives a total count quickly. I do have gemini:// links too, but not in that browser :)

  • That's interesting. A lot of mine probably fall into that category. I'm exporting them to a HTML file that I can browse like a website.

  • Yes, web browser bookmarks (or favourites).

  • Not quite. Unfortunately the leadership in Israel is pretty representative of the population.

  • I'm single, but I take it to stop myself rolling out of bed at night.

  • I use it too. My main issue is that when I'm entering tag names on a new article, it doesn't suggest existing tags. Makes it very difficult to keep the number of tags limited. I might create #environment when #climate is what I would usually use.

  • I'm not from USA, but it's tragically bad there. I sometimes see indexes come out for things like education or literacy rates, I look further down past my own country on the list and see the USA. For a nation that can fund corporations and military up to their eyeballs, it is an absolute choice and systemic problems to allow that to continue.

    And before anyone mentions things like poverty - those are intrinsically linked to education. A nation that takes education seriously takes poverty seriously. user givesomefucks has an interesting comment on other systemic problems contributing to it.

  • Your comment is a little nonsensical. Again, I think your core issue is confusion over what addiction is and is not. Looking forward to the next TV episode is not addiction either.

    Don’t you care about spreading misinformation online?

  • should we legislate against all of them?

    Yes. Gambling, drugs and other predatory practices have regulations and laws around advertising, operation and use. I don’t see why any platform or service should get an exception.

  • Another conflation you seem to be making is habit formation vs addiction. What you're describing in your own life does not sound like an addiction.

    Addiction (synonymous with substance use disorder), as defined by the DSM-5, entails compulsive use, craving, and impaired control over drug taking in addition to physical dependence. ... Physical dependence is much more common than addiction. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366%2823%2900230-4/fulltext

  • I just added their site (temporarily) to my RSS reader. They only give you the headline and another sentence.

  • It seems that Thaura and Lumo are not beholden to big tech or involved in genocide / mass surveillance, so I'm comparing those at the moment. But I keep my usage as low as absolutely possible.

  • His staff are on record as saying they call him "the cunt" when he's not around. I forget which interview that was but it was a former staff member on a TV interview.

  • Because the term is loaded. There are technical implications (who will you be federated with and how do I connect with them?), and it's jurisdictional (which laws apply when I post here?). Also, for non-technical people, you only hear the word "server" in techno-babble word salad from movies. I don't blame them at all for being confused.

  • Why claim "pseudoscience" when real world studies, as well as internal documents of the companies themselves, show that these platforms are addictive? Studies also show that kids want to, but can't, spend less time on these addictive platforms.

  • Good recommendation. They have an API and plugins https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/appsextensions/

    I was thinking of something that also alerts me to how many times the publication has been found to have published AI under the name of a human. But Media Bias Fact Check might actually cover that well enough. I'll install that extension now, thank you!
