I'm in a similar boat. Except I started with emacs so i could learn org-mode. i dropped spacemacs and went to Doom (which i greatly prefer).

In Doom, i get to org-mode with SPC-X. it's great. it's helping me learn emacs, too.

> .... and they came to believe that these very popular websites are somehow inherent to the Internet and to society in general. They're not.

Amen. And my feeling is that we would be better off without them. This is why i'm in favor of slow computing, slower network speeds, and slower lifestyles. (I should state that this is not sarcasm)

> The almost free speech on the other side of the ocean seems to be working pretty well. You get to say anything that isn’t actively harmful to others, but you won’t be able to advertise bleach as a way to get Corona out of your system.

Alternatively, you don't go to jail for suggesting that anybody actually implied injection of bleach as a treatment for coronavirus.

> This is only as true as saying that any personal attempt to minimize your carbon footprint is self-harm.

I sometimes wonder, when the mining energy question is raised, about the carbon footprint of all the servers and buildings and air conditioning in all the banks in all the world.

> What's Bitcoin missing in technological or infrastructure terms that's holding it back? I'd wager nothing.

The technological solution to the slight incomprehensibility is a huge part of what holds back adoption.

Also, regulatory issues are considerable for a certain class of user that would probably like to take advantage of e.g. 1000x gainz.

I'm sure there are many, but cellular network coverage (industrial) and products to connect easily to it (consumer) both seem like limiting factors.

Without meaningful information about the geographies of the participants, how this data would be valuable is not quite clear to me.

I read earlier in the year... early in the news about the outbreak, a skeptical view that suggested the reason for this 'epidemic' had something to do with the relatively new ability to apply fast genetic testing to a 'fairly common cold'

edit to remove the phrases: "pandemic" & "new normal"
