Do you remember any source for Hitchens on that, like a book or speaking event? I’d enjoy hearing more about that specifically.
AlternativeTo is a great way to find free/open source software alternatives to whatever you’re currently using.

So cool to learn about these, thanks! I’ve tried and failed to self-host Nextcloud in the past, but really need to give it another go. Their contacts app is also something I’ve wanted for a while now.
This looks promising, thank you! I’m a novice self-hoster and look forward to learning more about this one.

For real. This one got me the best:
“We held a meeting and decided being radically open about gender while adopting a puritanical outlook on sex was the best way to shock Boomers to death.”
Amazing self-own admitting that the internet and public schools are your ideological enemies:
According to Boreing: “Kids go to school for 40 hours a week and then they engage in pop culture for 40 more hours every week. That means for 80 hours of a child’s week, you are turning them over to the left. A good parent might spend 15 minutes a day in meaningful conversation with their kids … A great parent might take their kid to church for one hour, or two hours, or three hours a week. The other 80, they’re watching Disney … they’re online … they’re in public schools.”
Even their non-political statements are political. I hate that some people don’t see through this shit:
In a video statement on Monday marking Bentkey’s launch, Boreing said: “Bentkey isn’t about teaching kids politics, it’s about childhood and wonder and adventure. It’s about values and all of the things on which politics are built later.”
Those are cool, never seen or heard of them before in my part of the US. We use reusable kcups, so we put a filter and grounds in mesh/plastic shell. We like them because we can choose single servings of anything, like our local beans or herbal stuff like teeccino. But yeah Senseo pads look pretty great.
Good to hear! The Obsidian plugin has worked great for me so far. It really simplifies note taking.
Why is Pocket discontinuing Pocket for Mac?
We are creating a more consistent user experience across mobile and web, making it easier for you to discover, save and access your content on any device, at any time.
Incredible explanation. Btw, Omnivore is a great open source alternative with a macOS app for anyone needing to migrate somewhere.
Was gonna say this too, it’s a great one for fact-checking. Sometimes it won’t include a source and make something up, just watch out for those.
Definitely time and learning curve. I’ve really wanted to self host some apps for 1–2 months now. Currently taking basic sql and python courses so that I can do the installations and databases correctly. App documentation is usually lacking and YT tutorials lead to more products and terms I’ve never heard of. There’s a big learning curve for non-programmers.
Their answers there do make it sound like clicks are necessary, but it’s my understanding that advertisers pay for both clicks and impressions. That’s why everyone gets a tree counter that goes up just for searching. Granted it’s a very small earning for impressions, which is why it takes 50+ searches for a single tree.
