Yep, I've long been envious of my wife's iPad Mini for the form factor, but my eyes want to scream when using 60hz refresh.

This is a major reason why I'm ponying up the dough for the iPhone Duo.

The iPhone Duo is as close as we're getting to the iPad Mini Pro we've all been asking for.

...have you seen the weather lately? Earth is not happy with humans. The trendlines are emphatically not good.

This is actually one of the key points Yuval Noah Harari made in his landmark book 'Sapiens' (a must-read, probably the book I've recommended more than any other)

Without tectonics, is terraforming Mars even possible as a long term solution? This "Mars colonization" strategy seems like a pipe dream, no?

Hilarious what they're turning into, compared to their founding principles.

"technically doing nothing" what a terrible comment.

This is interesting. He’s doing this entirely by choice? You don’t have a problem with it?

Yes, it's a way of excusing lifestyles of luxury via immoral causes.

The modern equivalent of paying indulgences to the Catholic Church; the wealthly have always sought ways of justifying the grotesqueries of their lifestyles. Indeed for many, it's the primary labor of their lives.

Well that's one way to get (a very specific type of) people back in the movie theaters!

I wanted something more advanced than Pocket, which integrated with my Obsidian vault and had better highlighting features and voice, so it was a choice between Matter and Readwise Reader.

I went with Readwise because they were a bootstrapped company vs VC-funded Matter, but now I'm starting to wish I went with Matter because they've been shipping meaningful updates more reliably.

Also, I interviewer with Dan from Readwise and he totally ghosted me, so I may be a little bitter about that, ha.

As someone who pays a yearly subscription for Readwise, I have a hard justifying that price when Omnivore excels at that core functionality entirely for free.

Matter is another paid read-it-later app who's lunch Omnivore is eating, though they seem to be shipping useful features (podcast transcript parsing, send-to-Kindle, etc.) much faster than Readwise.

Tough time to be a for-profit reading app these days, when options like Omnivore exist.

Raindrop is primarily for saving and archiving links and websites, Omnivore is primarily for reading.

I dunno, a 1956 Fender Stratocaster, maybe?

Something you can actually do something with?

Kinda adds a whole new layer to the drone metal band sunnO)))
