  • Lots of great conversation here, I also work somewhere where this is required. If I didn't need my phone for access to chat, I just wouldn't use it for work. Alternatively, my phone has a work profile so I use that for any work related or non-FOSS apps. My IT guy even approved of my methods and said do the minimum and never more with tech.


  • These kinds of lists always make me laugh, because it takes a very specific world view and experience and assumes all must be like that. Atomic Habit I do agree partially on, but you know two books that have recently changed my life? Certainly not on the list here.

    4,000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman and The Little Book of Listening by Donna Duffey et. Al.

    As someone who feels outside the domimate traits of society, Sensitive: The Hidden Power and The Power of Quiet are also books that changed my life in that I am embracing my own traits and talents, rather than struggle to adopt those more commonly sought after.


  • "Home Depot said in a recent press release that it plans to make its gas-powered tools relatively obsolete in the next several years, instead replacing them with battery and electric powered upgrades.

    Most of its gas tools are outdoor equipment; think weedwackers, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and trimmers. It aims to replace these with battery power by the end of 2028. At that point, Home Depot wants to see 85% of its outdoor lawn equipment sales to be driven by rechargeable battery power in the U.S. and Canada."

    If this is for rentals, I gotta say that's a big win then for the environment.
