Good breakdown. I might end up using it on my next desktop

You had ONE job Dyson 😂

Second gen. Pixel Watch. Not expecting anything groundbreaking tbh, but skipped the first one and have $$$ burning a hole in my pocket.

Loop Habit Tracker pairs nicely with Atomic Habits or any other foray into productivity.

Stellar stat-tracking and usability. It’s twice as great when you look at the alternatives and see mostly month-to-month subscriptions for similar features

As long as it’s worse than the Bears, I’m a happy camper.

Ahhh I was wondering why Lemmur didn’t recognize my instance

Same. I like that it’s on F-Droid too

Good to see the word being spread and I’m hoping the open-source alternatives are gearing up for the coming weeks

It’s a great read but a lot to books! Enjoy!

News Minimalist is one I recently added (via RSS). It use this machine learning to rate all news from 1 to 10 and then shares the top stories of the day based on your threshold

From Chicago. I made the plunge to Mastodon (and here) after the Reddit shenanigans and just seeing the repeated bad-faith policies by Twitter. I have been using redirector and libredirect for the last month or two to actively decide who I give my data to just as a fun experiment into best practices.

I think it’s slowly starting to be clear that this type of setup will be the way forward for the more tech-savvy, privacy-focused users, and hopefully/eventually it hits the mainstream as well, but otherwise, it’s just self-selecting into the type of people I want to be around, which will probably be better for my mental health anyways.

I’m into cycling, trading, sci-fi and FOSS. Currently reading The Expanse and taking a sabbatical year from work

Edit: Just want to encourage people to engage w/ and create content over the next few weeks. Activity and friendly faces are probably the most determining factor in whether someone becomes an active user or just browses for a few minutes
