I am currently enjoying a lot this podcast where these 2 guys dual boot Linux and Windows to see if they can at the end of the podcast delete on the 2 OSes

I learn a lot from their experiment and it makes me want even more to dual boot Linux on my Mac

Manuel Moreale is launching a curated newsletter starting on January 1st named Dealgorithmed and you should subscribe!

"Dealgorithmed is a newsletter for the people who still love and care about the web, for those who are tired of doomscrolling the same three sites day after day.

A newsletter about the small web, the poetic web, the quiet web, the web many say we lost years ago, yet it's still here, ready to be rediscovered by those who care."

An article about the friend.com product

"We don't need an app or a pendant. We need to relearn the ancient skill of being a neighbor. Not just in a geographical sense, but in a communal one. We need to actively seek out the friction again. That's the real secret to making a friend. You have to put yourself in a position to get embarrassed, and realize that it's okay."

"Friendship isn't born in the perfectly curated profile or the algorithmically-approved match. It's forged in the shared, slightly vulnerable moments between the main events. It's the way you fumbled when you said, "Hey, a few of us are going out after work, wanna come?" It's the awkward way you said, "I noticed you're reading that book too, I loved it," when talking to a stranger at the park. It's the simple act of consistently showing up at the same place, the gym, the soccer game, the cafe, and becoming a familiar face, not a stranger."

Never forget to make backups!

"Do you want the Internet to be an extension of your existing offline relationships, or to be separate from your offline life? "

"Social media made me feel like I had no excuse to ping someone to catch up because I’d already seen everything they’d been doing, so I needed some reason to call."

Since I stopped checking Instagram regularly, I have lost touch with some people and I felt the same feeling. I am thinking of adding more people from social media in my contacts list so I can catch up with them more easily

Keep doom scrolling through addicting feeds?

Miss the days when the web was just about connecting with people and their thoughts or ideas?

We believe there's an answer to that problem, and it's called
