I'm a heavy Todoist user and I think it's great. I used to use org-mode, but all the Android apps I used for it were clunky and had issues with syncing when my file was concurrently edited somewhere else.

Todoist's API is pretty good too, so I've ended up building my own little webapp that fills some of the gaps in Todoist's functionality (e.g. finding a list of the projects that don't have a next action defined).

So if my competitor is using IngestAI and OpenAI use their data to train ChatGPT, could I literally just ask ChatGPT to tell me some secrets from my competitor's internal communication?

The problem is that whoever you follow (whether they're friends, family or just interesting people) they ARE following the outrage parts.

And of course there's the "trending" sidebars, and ads and other stuff that gets injected into your timeline without you asking for it.

So things bleed in no matter how careful you are. The platforms are designed to drag you in and outrage you. Trying to avoid that is a constant battle - and you're going to give in to it from time to time.

Xen only hit v1 in 2004 and was relatively niche.

You have to use the dropdown to select the right page. As they said, it's in the conclusion of the article.

I have very fond memories of foobar2000. Mostly I just loved how fast it was to use!

Does anyone know of an equivalent for the Mac?

Go ahead then.

It seems to be working fine for Spotify and Netflix. Is there something special about journalism that means it wouldn't work there?

Who mentioned patents?

Say I wanted to learn COBOL, has anyone got any resources they'd recommend?

I half agree with you, but one of the real benefits that SASS gives you here is making dependencies more obvious. A named variable like `$slider-height` is much clearer than a random number like `50px`. Yeah, you could put a comment next to every constant in the CSS, but I don't think that's clearer than the SASS alternative.

With Google Mail (and Apps) anything after a + in the first part of the address is ignored, so foo+dropbox@gmail.com would be routed to foo@gmail.com. That's the easiest way to do it that I know of. No need for managing separate aliases.

The Reader workflow never really worked for me. I just ended up with a big bold "unread" number counting all the posts I'd never get round to reading.

In the end I rolled my own thing (http://www.mailfeed.io) which checks feeds once a day and emails me a list of all new posts. Really simple, and nothing to make me feel guilty about not keeping up.

Yeah, but you're not introducing a new failure point. Most services already let you reset your password - as long as you can click a link they send to you in an email.
