Why does one need to be removed from these sites on a monthly schedule?

Nice thinking.

This is where the money's at. I'm assuming this was done via Github API + Generated Token. I was thinking of something similar to this, however using a Slackbot.

Exactly.
Ask HN: Anyone Replace Jira with GitHub Issues?
I'm wanting to centralize tickets & documentation in Github, and in the process eliminate Jira & Notion.Question: Is it possible to create tickets for a repo without granting read access to code?If not, is the work around to create a repo just for tickets that everyone has access to? Is it even practical at this point?Has anyone successfully pulled this off at their org?

Same! I've found myself switching between so many computers and often wanting to share a bookmark with someone I eventually put them all on a Github Repo: https://github.com/seljabali/notes_to_self

When the app is playing audio & titles visible read:
- "unmuted" "visible"
instead of
- "mute", "hide".
Button/label showing current state of the app is better than how the state will change via the button.

I've recently moved away from iTerm2 to Warp (https://www.warp.dev), and there's no turning back. These guys are onto something big.

The sad reality is we've solved many of computation's problems, and don't have much of a utopia around as perhaps expected in solving them.
Macs in the 2000's had productivity apps that were needed, fun to discover & to try out:
* Growl for notifications
* AppFresh for automatic downloads
* Quicksilver for file/app search
All of which has been solved by the OS.
Web 2.0 solved connecting with friends and strangers around the world, as well as many other problems, by FAANG+.
Web 3.0/VR will be 2.0 on steroids, which too eventually will get boring.
As big of a nerd I am, computation I'm finding can only go so far in satisfaction, thus eventually "stagnate."
