Axios is very good. Very dry journalism - almost crossing into news agency territory -, very fact-based, always mentioning the different positions on the matter at hand. They do talk about politics but you can just visit the other sections. They are especially big on tech stuff
EDIT: For how to get news, I use RSS. Inoreader in particular lets you subscribe to entire sites or just specific pages. It’s possibly the best piece of software I’ve ever tried
Is it strange that I have absolutely NO idea what you’re talking about?
Still awesome!
This. Also, third part clients are usually just web wrappers for the actual official site
What is your issue exactly here? The fact that this could go against the GDPR? If that’s the case, I don’t see how a third party client would help. IG would still collect info about you and show you ads. Also, you would probably get the same popup asking if you want to subscribe. Nothing would change (except that with a third party client IG would not be able to collect as much info about you as with the official app)
Anyways, you still have the option to not pay and keep using IG as before. Nothing changes.
Probably my favorite pieces of software from Europe (not strictly the EU) are
Proton (ProtonMail, Proton Calendar, etc) - Switzerland
Inoreader (probably the best RSS reader ever - and I’ve tried lots) - Bulgaria
Krea.ai is an online tool that lets you do that, but you can also do it yourself with Stable Diffusion
Love the idea, but you should really ask someone who actually speaks english to check the whole questionnaire. It’s filled with spelling and grammatical errors.
Love it!
man, those screenshots hurt
If you’re still not very knowledgeable, “Sophie’s World” by Jostein Gaarder is an awesome read. Don’t let the fact that it’s a novel fool you, it’s perfect to understand who’s who across philosophy’s history.
What was its origin?
Could someone explain to me the advantage of using snap? I’ve never really got it. Repository systems with dependencies have always served me well and I’ve never felt the need for something else
You’re right, the stats I saw were not about traffic
globally, traffic actually went down. Somebody posted some data a while ago and it was very clear. I would not worry about it (I think to a certain extent it’s physiological), by still
honestly, the web interface is great. Simple, clean and with everything you need
Dan Harmon once responded in a similar way on an AMA. It was about writer’s block, but I feel it’s the same principle.
My best advice about writer’s block is: the reason you’re having a hard time writing is because of a conflict between the GOAL of writing well and the FEAR of writing badly. By default, our instinct is to conquer the fear, but our feelings are much, much, less within our control than the goals we set, and since it’s the conflict BETWEEN the two forces blocking you, if you simply change your goal from “writing well” to “writing badly,” you will be a veritable fucking fountain of material, because guess what, man, we don’t like to admit it, because we’re raised to think lack of confidence is synonymous with paralysis, but, let’s just be honest with ourselves and each other: we can only hope to be good writers. We can only ever hope and wish that will ever happen, that’s a bird in the bush. The one in the hand is: we suck. We are terrified we suck, and that terror is oppressive and pervasive because we can VERY WELL see the possibility that we suck. We are well acquainted with it. We know how we suck like the backs of our shitty, untalented hands. We could write a fucking book on how bad a book would be if we just wrote one instead of sitting at a desk scratching our dumb heads trying to figure out how, by some miracle, the next thing we type is going to be brilliant. It isn’t going to be brilliant. You stink. Prove it. It will go faster. And then, after you write something incredibly shitty in about six hours, it’s no problem making it better in passes, because in addition to being absolutely untalented, you are also a mean, petty CRITIC. You know how you suck and you know how everything sucks and when you see something that sucks, you know exactly how to fix it, because you’re an asshole. So that is my advice about getting unblocked. Switch from team “I will one day write something good” to team “I have no choice but to write a piece of shit” and then take off your “bad writer” hat and replace it with a “petty critic” hat and go to town on that poor hack’s draft and that’s your second draft. Fifteen drafts later, or whenever someone paying you starts yelling at you, who knows, maybe the piece of shit will be good enough or maybe everyone in the world will turn out to be so hopelessly stupid that they think bad things are good and in any case, you get to spend so much less time at a keyboard and so much more at a bar where you really belong because medicine because childhood trauma because the Supreme Court didn’t make abortion an option until your unwanted ass was in its third trimester. Happy hunting and pecking!
No, they mean like “kilocelsius” or “millicelsius”, which makes them prefixes
