I have a love /hate relationship with technology... That phrasing may be too strong. I think that with every technology, it's a trade off. With watches we progressed, but lost things as was mentioned earlier. Everything is like that, isn't it? I'm tapping this out on my smart phone, with which I'm never alone, always tethered, rarely have solitude.
I'm a software developer, I have no microwave. I have a robot vacuum and a reel mower for my yard. I try to be aware and make conscious efforts to think about what the trade off is with technology and make a choice.

Ah, thank you, that's nice to see other authors are seeing and referencing this. we need to think it over and find a way to cope the best we can.

The Shallows is a book about this, how even former book lovers are having a hard time sitting down and reading like they used to. I was gifted the book years ago. Didn't finish it....
I did read The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction recently, which is short and an encouraging read on largely the same topic.
Daniel Pink has a book called When, if I recall the title correctly, all about his humans interact with time, which is fascination. I did finish that book too. ( He's just making other people's work easier for public consumption, he's not the source of the data.)

@kev @dwytemartin Same here. Anytime I show my family members and sort of irrefutable privacy breach evidence or major privacy concerns they just say, "I'm not really worried about it, I've got nothing to hide."
I'm doing my part in trying in trying to "show them the way" while not sounding like a radical conspiracy theorist but, it falls on deaf ears. Makes me a bit sad for them.

Flooded by email? Think the only solution is to give all your data to Google or Microsoft because they have smart inboxes that help you handle the flood of mails? In case you missed it: We have good news for you!

mastodon is so...comfy. like wow. actually being able to engage with people is pretty cool, instead of being suffocated by ridiculously low character limits.

We really do need a better way to deal with waste materials
Why is UK recycling being dumped by Turkish roadsides?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-53181948/why-is-uk-recycling-being-dumped-by-turkish-roadsides
How we got to a point where the 5th richest country in the world can't invest properly in waste management is beyond me, there are small companies here, that can take old plastic and turn it in to something useful,. e.g kayaks. Why can#t we put millions in to expanding these.
I have a pencil case made from old tyres. we have to start to think differently.

Getting Good Penpals, a Slowly Users Guide
.
This has been posted and recognized as a valuable resource at Reddit for maybe almost two months now.
After sitting in my Blog editor for almost 30 days, I decided to publish it -- in Two pages, with a final Part 3 coming soon dealing with the loaded question of "Adding friends via Slowly IDs".
See "Getting Good Penpals, a Slowly Users Guide - Part 1" here. This introductory part has background info, and continues on part 2.
See "Getting Good Penpals - 2. Three Ways to Go" for part 2.
Hope you enjoy reading this, a more detailed, illustrated and carefully written version of my original Reddit forum post.
But to use it you still have to install it on your computer and that already is a problem it seems to me...
Hi there 😀!
What worries me a lot is the problems of them not having secured at all their software.
People can definitely come in, register what you say and have details about you...
Not good!
Thanks for your answer.
It seems from the beginning that they don't really care...
This is so upsetting to see stuff I'd like to participate in and that only zoom has been chosen.
The same goes for fb group...
Hi Mastodonians,
I wonder if Zoom has REALLY improved its security issue by now?
Hi there,
When you send an email to a group of people, the best is to hide the email and normally you have a tab where you can put them in.
It's true that I won't be able to exchange anymore on discourse...
I need a day to think it through.
Thanks a lot btw.
