Nothing broke, the dynamic fee market worked exactly as intended. Contrast with Solana which actually went offline for 7 hours that same day.

Using https://autopilot.ooo I’ve automated myself in both my morning and evening routines. I noticed I have exceptionally poor executive functioning in the morning, but now I don’t have to think at all for the first hour that I’m awake, I just follow my pre-programmed instructions written for me by my benevolent higher-functioning awake self in the past. Thanks me!

Generally one stays inside a circle for protection and summons the demon into a triangle for containment. :P

Curious if you could share the template you used for the meetings?

I don't work more than five hours a day, four days a week. I frequently surprise myself with labor saving inventions when I place time constraints on my work.

Seems unwarranted to assume they are actively losing customers. I haven't bought an iPhone in years because I still use a SE, and I still use my 2015 MBP. They haven't lost me in any real sense just because I haven't contributed to a sale _recently_.

I used to love playing NetHack and ascended multiple times. Sometimes I wish DCSS hadn't ruined NetHack's UX for me. I'd love to see NetHack reimagined with a friendly UI on-par with DCSS and other modern roguelikes.

As far as language learning apps go I've gotten way more milage out of Clozemaster than I ever did out of Duolingo. At least for learning vocabulary Clozemaster's combination of spaced repetition and cloze-completions helps immensely (especially using it on free text input mode instead of multiple choice). That said Duolingo does help a lot more with the dead basics.

For context I could already speak Mandarin because I grew up bilingual but always found that I've have to laboriously re-learn vocabulary for literacy. Clozemaster seems like the most sustainable way for me to maintain an expanded vocabulary (in both Traditional and Simplified characters) that I've found.

I just do Clozemaster every time I sit on a toilet, pretty easy habit cue, if a bit gross.
