Dearest World, relaunch or crash your browsers because WebGyver browser extension is here! Declutter websites, highlight text, add postits to pages, scribble over them etc etc. A different online experience is possible✌️ #distractionfree #focus #digitalminimalism #productivity

I've lately spent time checking reviews on @Trustpilot (quite in-depth) and came to the conclusion that with all the fake reviews it's a rather pointless website. The only way to undo this is to count just the reviews of verified users. But I guess that would shake the world

I'm just trying @asklumo from @ProtonMail people. If it wants to sit on the bench with Claude or ChatGPT, it has such a long way to go that it's cute

I noticed in the past few days that both @claudeai and @ChatGPTapp apps now allow me to select words easily by just tapping in them, like I can on any website. My quality of life went up by 35%

i've spent about an hour on twitter now, something i've done after quite a while. i'm surprised to see what it's become: toxic, manipulative, short-sighted, useless. for anyone has any sense of self-worth, it's a gutter, not a place to be

is olympics.com the official web of the games? AKA the joys of sub-par work. (it's mid-June now, the games about to start in about a month)

so #Apple podcasts app doesn't allow me to filter the search results in any way (language), making it inferior to any average e-shop. what is everyone at that company doing? Siri is just voice-activated search engine and feels like dead dinosaur compared to ChatGPT. wake up,🍏

same search results appear twice in multiple cases, search results are VERY different on desktop and phone, syncying desktop->phone is invisible, therefore confusing... I can't wait for #appleintelligence

claude.ai AKA we don't know how to do Europe and we don't care and we let you try and login and only then tell you we can't make it. thank you @AnthropicAI, whoever does UX there. first impression? AI anthropic.com/claude-ai-loca…

it seems to me that the editors at The Guardian are out of their minds; it's all becoming redder and flashing, slowly but surely. i used to actually read news here but cannot anymore even look at their landing page. today's screenshot:

1/3) some 4 or 6 weeks i created a list of 10 people on T who's posts stood out for me as extremely useful and relevant compared to the rest. i made it my twitter bookmark and that's the feed i see first when T loads.

2/3) then i added another person, new to me, and it was all gone. the no 11 posted many times a day and reposted nonsense from many other people, i did not check beforehand. it was a 100% twitter addict. there was no signal in my feed, all noise. after 2 days i got rid of him.

3/3) it's one great byproduct of today that you can have world's 10 top "life coaches" basically for free, come by every day or two for literally a minute, hear them preach and leave. 99% of the time i feel better, encouraged and even wiser. i recommend everyone to try the same

twitter is like the bad trips depicted in 90s and 2000s films about drugs. i don't know how to come here and not feel really bad afterwards. i need to figure out how to let the research of some people here enrich me here and there but avoid the overall m͓̽i͓̽n͓̽d͓̽f͓̽u͓̽c͓̽k͓̽

approach #1 → create a short list with only the top content (99% signal, 1% noise) = the names i remember + check most often bookmarked people. yielded total 8 names. might slim it down to 6 → change twitter browser bookmark to the list so it becomes the default landing page
