This "article" is just an advertisement in disguise.

It's worse than that: $500-$1k a month range for onboarding. Definitely not legal.

Ah, the author is Kev Quirk! I really enjoyed his SimpleCSS project: https://github.com/kevquirk/simple.css
I also relate to this post: tried to make Firefox my default browser for years, but slowly Brave became my default browser over time due to its adblocking abilities and general speed.
That said, Brave is a bit of a UI mess out of the box, with too many of their unnecessary "features" like their wallet and crypto BAT stuff being shoved at the user.
I think they're slowly realizing that their user base just wants a straightforward adblocking privacy browser though. They released "Brave Origin" recently, which is a paid app on some platforms, but at least cuts out of all the unnecessary baggage.

I'd be interesting it an Android app version (or heck, even a web UI or progressive web app!).

This support article gives more details here, even though it's still clear as mud that they are dropping support for custom domains _unless_ that domain is hosted via Google Workspaces:
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/17101213
Even more confusing, you _will_ be able to still send to a custom domain via the Gmail mobile app? This appears to be an anti-spam move I guess? Though personally, this is a big breakage for me...

> I love my Apple Watch. Alerts mean I don’t look at my phone which means I don’t unlock it and get sidetracked.
I've noticed and interesting social shift in recent years: friends who get distracted mid-sentence by an Apple Watch notification, pause the conversation to check the alert, and then continue the conversation afterwards without realizing they had paused/were momentarily not present. It's fascinating because these people will not realize they were momentarily sidetracked, and remain convinced a watch keeps them more present than their hone.
There's a term waiting to be coined for this concept, but I'm not clever enough to come up with one...

Former Windows 11 user here. Microsoft operating systems have been my primary desktop since DOS 6.0, but the embedding of advertisements in Win11 drove to me finally try out Linux distributions, and CachyOS was the only one that stuck for me in terms of familiarity and performance. It's been my daily driver for 1.5 years now, and I've been extremely grateful for it.

Would you mind explaining what this looks like practice? Fellow ADHDer here!

I'm saying this in complete humor... but your comment reminds me of the infamous Dropbox annoucement comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863

Oh man, I've come across this person's blog before and I love it, not just because of the personalization/personality they've put into the site's design, but because of all of the random CLI/TUI-based tools they've developed. Examples:

Their github repos:
They even built a BBS-style reader client that supports Hacker News:

I miss the days of the web being weird like this :-)

Ugh, can't believe they made this opt-in by default, and didn't even post the direct URLs to disable in their blog post.
To add on to your (already helpful!) instructions:
