Re:Show HN: App that asks 'why?' every time you unlock your phone on Wednesday November 27, 2024 @11:54AM (#42257530)
Same. Installed for ~ 1 year, deleted after my muscle memory adapted. It was an inconvenience for some of the apps that I would actually need access to some of the time, but then again, it is a less obvious inconvenience when excessive amounts of time were spent in apps I showed up to do one thing in... All that to say. I think these tools are great, and ideally they assist us in shaping our behaviors to match our intent. A little more system 2 than system 1 thinking.

Re:Hash Hunt on Friday July 16, 2021 @12:05AM (#27852956)
I want to screen record myself winning this bitcoin and then sell that moment as an NFT. Anyone else get 5 hashes and have a huge rush of dopamine?!
Kind of like if Ikea made legos (but ideally without the arguing couples)
