Just get the 100k and invest 20k a year, and use the rest for your life. Then contribute to FOSS forever

??? Is he even a candidate?

Thank God I abandoned Apple a long time ago

Yes I did mention you need your phone number to register

Mumble is great for voice calls! I use it for that, but it’s not amazing for chatting, which is what I use Signal or Matrix for

I know this isn’t DeGoogle but let’s be honest, Discord is just as bad at this point.

@theblips@lemm.ee True though, it is not effective? We are talking right now in a non-profit area of the internet achieved through open source contributions and community participation :)

I’d say that’s a pretty nice, effective thing that has been accomplished

@Libb@jlai.lu Well to be honest, there was a time on the internet that felt like people produced content which was not driven in any way by profit. This content was purely made to socialise with other people who spent a lot of time using the internet.

I think the internet has a lot of potential for being a place for growing ourselves individually and socially, instead of being somewhere toxic or profit driven. That’s what I mean by productive: growing ourselves and growing community. Also growing these things without some form of profiting company looming over it.

That’s how I view something like the fediverse, or how I view personal blogs like your own blog for example.

Or, should we consume more content that is conducive to being social? What type of content would that be?

@Adudethatis@lemmy.ca I’ve been taking notes for almost everything I do, and writing essays, todo’s, thoughts I have in obsidian and linking it all together. So for example if I’m reading a book, I’ll make a note for that book and take little notes whenever I have some fleeting thought about it. This helps me have like, something beside me whenever I’m doing something which helps me slow down my actions and think slower.

Also I’ve recently been liking the concept of a “forever world” in Minecraft - a world you play in forever, forever cultivating what you’ve made and shaping it over years. I play for 20 minutes a day but sometimes I even play for a couple of hours. While playing I play slowly, try not to sprint so I can take in the creations I’ve made and the environment. Also incorporating the notes into this (mostly just logs about thoughts I have while playing).

But yeah the essence of all this is just to not rush the things I’m doing like I have a bad habit of doing. I often rush things and then don’t even complete the thing that I was doing anyway. Living more slowly allows me to do things more intentionally and just go at my own pace regardless of whether or not I’m gonna “complete” something.

I think a lot of people would really benefit from learning neovim
