can't wait for a bunch of people to like and boost this who do the exact thing you're criticizing

So I have found that app called Structured for #iOS and #macOS and this is a very accessible planner. Its features are only a few but for me its a positive. What I love is the day timeline. This way I know how much break time I have, how much time I have left to complete a task etc. I really recommend it. #apple #productivity

@ke7zum Thank you. I like to investigate such apps.
@Sarah A

‘Case you are using @MonaApp app on Mac OS, you may not know that it comes with extensions to allow you share content and receive notifications and such. For some, obscure to me, reason these extensions are turned off by default. I assume it’s Apple’s doing. But why? After I turned them on, I am now able to share links from Chrome, via File > Share menu, etc.
Go to System Settings > Extensions and look for Mona stuff! Enjoy!

@FluidEscence I did not enable the notifications during the initial setup. Also, I didn't check into those notifications. I was primarily concerned with sharing... Good to know though! :)

Thoughts. Long post
Moments are like the waves in an ocean. Good, bad, they all pass, but always leave something after them, just like the wave leaves water, it exists from water, it's not independent in itself, it needs the water to exist, the water needs the earth, fire needs wood, something flamable, wood comes from trees, earth and soil help the trees grow, the earth depends on the universe, and the universe depends on space..... Everything depends on something for its existence. and we depend on everything for our existence. The more we grow, and develop in some aspects, the more we forget the simple fact that life is simple, that enlightenment is for everyone - not just for those who have grown up with the teachings of seeking it. But we also expect enlightenment to be complicated, shiny, glorious, full of fireworks and sensations while in fact, it is simple, it comes to us at once, or it comes to us in glimpses... Thus, life itself is simple. It is temporary, yet it is not, death is temporary too, unless one chooses to perceive it as something permanent, and fear it, or fear life, or not take these things seriously. They may be temporary, but we must make the best of all, while it lasts, to live and focus on the present, to open to not knowing and to know, while being opened and admit that for all its development of the world, we don't know anything. We are so disconnected from nature, and sick, and fearful, and worried. Of what? Are we going to carry all these developments to our grave? Are we starting our next lives with these things, or is it all anew? We need none of these things, yet, such is the age we live in, where material is so present, where all measurements are material - how much wealth you have, or your neighbour has. It's no longer in knowledge... and for what? So we can worry about all these things, to have no true peace of mind, to not be free from our selfishness and ego...

She has a real good example of how algorithms on platforms like Instagram not only try to make you addicted but also divide us even more

🤔 People keep saying that Mastodon doesn't have this problem "because no algorithms," but Mastodon absolutely does have this problem.

For example, whether or not a fediverse user sees this post that I'm writing right now, depends on whether or not their admin thinks that they should see posts from hachyderm, or from me in particular. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Someone is still deciding which replies you see and which ones you don't see, presumably for your safety and enjoyment.

We had a lovely meal this evening. @lulu_bear will write about that in time.
I've been playing briefly with the Enafore Mastodon web-based client. It is a wonderful thing.
The UI is almost perfect, just a few things I would like to improve, which I can do easy enough. I can use it as a standalone app rather than a web page.
But the great thing is, filters and muting works.
So if there comes a point when I need this option, I will be able to have it.

For iPhone 15 Pro with the action button, can shortcuts be used to toggle mute? If so, I plan to set that up when I get my 16. Mute when I leave the house, un-mute when I return. That'll free up the action button for something else, though I'm not sure what yet.

Kein eigener Stellplatz in Freiburgs neuen Baugebieten: Unerhörtes wird gewagt

Wer Auto fährt, muss sich in Freiburgs neuen Quartieren Kleineschholz und Dietenbach darauf einstellen, keinen eigenen Parkplatz zu bekommen. Das wird ein Experiment. Doch eines, das Sinn ergibt.

Die Gruppenarbeit des Todes ist endlich wirklich abgeschlossen. Alle haben bestanden, was ich angesichts offensichtlich nicht selbst geschriebener Beiträge wirklich zum Aufregen finde. Aufregen ist ein gutes Stichwort, denn alle, die wirklich wenig bis gar nicht gearbeitet haben beschweren sich richtig laut darüber, dass sie "nur" eine 4,0 bekommen haben. Bei mir ist es eine 2,7 geworden. Damit kann ich gut leben, obwohl generell viel mehr drin gewesen wäre. Nur nicht mit dieser Gruppe.

Results of LA’s 3-year basic income experiment were “transformative”. It gave people “time and space” to improve their lives by “landing better jobs, leaving unsafe living conditions and escaping abusive relationships”. latimes.com/california/story/2…

Of course! UBI works. It's more complicated that that, but it works.

The owner class *hates* social safety nets—UBI being the ultimate safety net—specifically *because* they give people space to find better jobs. The owners don't want you to find a better job. They want you to be stuck with the shit job they give you. That's it. That's the mystery.
