There’s a great quote “… the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.” from Marcus Aurelius. With this in mind I’ve been regretting the kind of person YouTube has been dying my soul with.

I’ve unironically returned to books and writing/reviewing in notebooks to fill in the gaps of my time. You can get notebooks that fit in your pocket and can just pluck it out and review whatever ideas you’ve been chewing on lately instead starting up a video. I add to the notebooks as I read.

When I have more time in the evenings I can collate those notes into broader writing projects, which are mostly simple blog posts. This process has brought me a fantastic feeling of clarity.

Fantastic news, I’m glad they’re proactively seeking solutions

In Korean apps with reviews every user review also shows their average review score they give next to their names so you know if the person glazes everything or is a Karen and can factor that in.

But I don’t want to use American software 🤷

In a Gmail client 🤮

Can’t argue with that, glad you’re enjoying it 👍

Well, now you don’t.

Moving to Debian from Ubuntu was like moving from Windows to Linux again for me. It basically removes all the bloat and adware and just left the things I actually like, which I assume Ubuntu inherited from Debian anyway.

But to be fair I just use my Debian machine for writing projects, research, and flash cards.

I didn’t realize spoiler links were possible and took the bait 🫠

Some people want a revolution and some people want their community fed. These are not mutually exclusive and I’m happy people are doing anything at all instead of hooking themselves up to the short form content IV every night like the vast majority.
