Well said, thanks
I’d much rather know and learn about someone’s passion for woodworking, hill walking, flower arranging, whatever they enjoy doing in their free time, rather than having to talk about their (or my!) work.

The screentime controls as part of an Apple family are great
- downtime
- time limits per app
- approval needed to install apps
- communications controls
Highly recommended
Re:Ask HN: How do you avoid AI slop on YouTube?
on Friday July 25, 2025 @05:09AM (#44681172)
The best change I made on YouTube was to turn ‘Watch History’ and ‘Search History’ off
With no history the algorithm can’t populate the Home tab or the Shorts tab and they are blank
I just rely on the Subscriptions tab and searching

I was a very heavy pocket user and loved it, but around 2019 they changed their Discover tab, so you could no longer see the source of the article.
The pages were listed as ‘Pocket’ source, and they windowed the original article in a pocket page with ads

brought the total to six so far in 2024, after 10 in 2023
With 25 days to go in the year, this is likely (hopefully) lower than 2023?

You must play through mistakes like they're not there, keep the rhythm with your foot and the melody line in your head. Also don't play the hardest stuff you just learned in recitals, play stuff you can do with your eyes closed while holding a conversation.
Brilliant life advice in general, keep your head in the game, carry on and maintain the flow.

The MFN clause can’t be considered more competitive against other seed and angel investors.
It is clearly making their next fundraise MORE complex for founders.
