I use Firefox only for work, which has helped me immensely to stay focused and not “just quickly check hacker news for the tenth time in an hour” (as much as I like to ;)).
It’ll make finding tips like this much harder.
I used this filter, it makes twitter links look like normal text:
##a[href*="twitter.com"]:style(pointer-events: none!important; text-decoration: inherit!important; color: inherit!important)It's really effective. I don't even know what to do with my phone any more.
I hear there's some way you can use an app on your phone to have a voice conversation with someone else, but apparently you need to know a magic number?
I'm told there was even a time when the number only addressed a location, so you would have to figure out who was talking on the other end through a complex linguistic handshake.
And it didn't even have identity authentication, past a basic voiceprint!
I've not taken to blocking whole sites yet. But sites with "recommendations" attached to every page are a real distraction. I block them on stackoverflow, otherwise I end up reading about the etymology of some obscure word or advice for a dungeon master in a weird D&D scenario =)
