+1 on this.

having been in the tech space (open source work), there's an ongoing trend for newbies to just consult ai rather than asking other people, which in my eyes is a great loss as the exchange of ideas and the friction you encounter with differing perspectives is the heart of real learning. i've personally been able to learn alot + meet cool people by approaching technology this way, but i also understand that llms can ease the onboarding process for someone onto any domain of life. i still think forums and indie-ish internet communities will still thrive, as there is something invaluable about simply exchanging ideas with another.

kinda necroing this but the casio f91w is probably my favorite watch of all time. I virtually never have to take it off; it stays with me in the shower too (ive even heard of people timing their showers with it for productivity!) ive heard of stories of people scuba diving under high water pressure with it, and also recount an amazon review in which someone dropped hot motor oil on the watch and it still worked fine afterwards. it's light, cheap enough to replace, actually useful, and durable; you can mostly forget that it's on your wrist tbh

I think y'all will love this; night tapes has been one of my favorite bands recently and I find that many of the themes in their music are correlary to the work in actualized.org. I also think Leo would love the cyberpunk night city-pop like vibe (that's the impression I get from following the actualized.org music playlist at least). here are some of my favorites Iiris, the lead singer of the band also writes amazing commentary about her own works on the youtube descriptions of the videos, I enjoy reading them alot, and I think you should too

btw how do y'all get that thing underneath your post? like the short little bio
