  • I actually prefer a mostly text web. If the trade off for ditching JavaScript is not getting hovering pop ups, I’m fine with that. I think that while JavaScript can help with usability, it’s main use right now is being a pain in the ass. Images and video are useful, don’t get me wrong, and that will always be the most popular “use” of the internet, but most of the time I just want to go on the Internet and read cool shit without fifty different corporations trying to fuck me over with the promise of “enhanced usability”. Like a link has to have some floating bullshit for me to click it. Absolute madness.








  • My android phone has a google app called Record that does pretty well at transcriptions. I believe it came preinstalled as part of android, unless it’s some pixel exclusive bullshit.

    I also use an app/website called Habitica that is basically an advanced to-do list/RPG combo. As you check off tasks you level up your character, and if you miss tasks you take damage. It lets you do repeating tasks for daily/weekly stuff as well as one offs. It’s been around for a while and it’s pretty advanced. Like you can prioritize tasks and you get more XP of you complete a difficult task or one that is past it’s due date. And you can hatch pets from eggs. It’s really helped me with boring day to day tasks and it’s pretty fun.


  • Most definitions of social media are some form of “sharing content for the purpose of socializing in a public manner”. I wouldn’t think having a real life identity linked to your account would be a requirement for a social network. Why wouldn’t reddit, lemmy, or even an old school forum be considered social media? You’re sharing and discussing content on a community platform. I dunno, just something I’ve been thinking about recently as I’m using lemmy more.
