Can you explain more what you are looking for, and what you are hoping to achieve?

Browser bar technique - yes!

Alt+Tab (switch to browser), Alt+D (to get to the browser bar), Ctrl+V (paste), Ctrl+A (select all), Ctrl+C (copy), Alt+Tab (switch to application), Ctrl+V (paste unformatted text)

What a muscle memory! Wish Ctrl+Shift+V (paste plain text) was standardized at the OS level.

Note: Using Mint Debian Linux, but the same flow seems to apply to Windows & Mac.

Bonus: I really wish copying a file in the GUI (Finder on Mac, file explorer on Linux) would default to pasting the full file path/name, when pasting into plain text. I can't believe how difficult it is to get the actual file name in a modern OS!

Check out Austin Texas https://do512.com for inspiration of music/event trackers. Personally, I think a "Whitelabel"-able version of this, ready to be localized to a city/town, would be cool - especially if it generated custom calendar (iCal). I checked out potential alternatives, and really didn't seem much out there - especially that would be attractive/stylish to music fans.

Additionally, an "MVP" could be a single HTML page, which lists all the recurring events, grouped by week-dat on a week calendar. For example, if there's a venue which hosts a weekly jam session on Thursdays, you could add that once and it would always show up for the "What's happening Thursday?" area. Usually there are a bunch of recurring events in any town, so the calendar page quickly becomes a useful "what to do today/tomorrow" guide, with minimal effort.

Curious if you have read the bible completely, starting from the beginning.

I recently started it - currently 30% through. I am tryin to hold back judgement until I have completed the book, but I can definitely say its quite shocking, nearly every page.

Curious what you have learned so far about creativity, practical "do it now" type ideas.

I read Artists Way a few years back, and did some of the recommended practices (daily pages, and artist dates) - it was effective in subtle and powerful ways.

What is Cosmere? (of course could look it up, but thought it may be interesting to learn here)

What did you think of Autobiography of a Yogi?

I read after hearing that it was the #1 book Steve Jobs recommended his executive team read (!!)

Great book! Makes you appreciate some life basics - like a scrap of bread, and a good coat!

I just read

(1) Roadside Picnic (the book which "Stalker" game is based from).

This was a page-turner! Fascinated by the science artifacts & effects (like gravitational glitches, frozen black sparks, etc)

(2) "Childhood's End" by Arthur C Clarke (who wrote 2001 Space Odyssey)

The sheer time scale of the story is impressive, and the technology is so interesting - especially for 1950s! There are some interesting time effects too (like an unborn child telepathically channeling information to a conversation in the past!)

Curious what features you like in KDE. I also like kDE, but don't use it as my primary DE - in the past, it has felt complex to me.

Consider checking out Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). Best of two worlds - stable foundation of Debian, easy-to-use interface of Mint. I have been using it for about 2 years now, very happy with it.

I recently watched Matrix 1, 2, 3. Matrix 1 is amazing - if you feel called to rewatch it - watch it, and enjoy it. Might be better than how you remembered. I made the mistake to watch Matrix 2 and 3. Honestly, I suggest you just DON'T. I have not seen Matrix 4, and don't plan to. Best of luck!

Thank your stravos - this is helpful, and the app is so responsive/fast!

You can check out Muse Spark 1.3 by using OpenCode (https://opencode.ai/ - open-source AI / coding harness). There's a terminal version and a GUI / desktop version. Good luck!

I didn't see the email come through...

The past several transactions I've done with Zelle, it has taken 3-5 days for the money to arrive. This was with a contact I sent money to before using Zelle (my brother), and also a new contact. I'm surprised because my experience has always been Zelle was instant. Has something changed with Zelle? The bank I am using is Ally.

Interesting - and frustrating! It's size is JUST too large for A5.

For reference: This is the zip enclosure I currently use for A5-size notebooks, and, would like to use to contain the A5 eink solar computer...

Nice - what would be your interest / use-case for this kind of computer?

That Inkplate 10 is very interesting. https://soldered.com/collections/inkplate-e-paper-displays/p...

Very curious why someone hasn't made essentially a "dumb" eInk monitor, accepting HDMI/USB-C as the input (as opposed to this, which seems to be loaded with ESP32, etc)

I'm still on the search for A5-sized E-ink screen, with HDMI or USB-C input (diagonoal: 25 cm / 10 inches diagonally).

I'm wanting to build a solar-powered e-ink laptop - so you can write / code in the sun. Mint Debian under the hood.

Open to ideas - trying to keep everything open-source architecture.

Hey Rami - was trying to reach you through the form on your website, but I got errors. Contact me if you're interested in a fun, paid mission. // JRO

Experiment concluded - thanks for all who joined the PIANO JAM!

Hey - spent a lot of time in this world (solution / sales engineer, technical account manager to many clients), and thinking about this same problem.

Even experimented with per-client Linux users. Per-client calendars & routines. Per client knowledge-base, etc

Very curious to see what you come up with.

Do you keep a daily journal normally - and for the daily pages, do you have a separate notebook for them, or a folder full of pages, or what?

Thanks for inspiring us!

Give Linux Mint Debian Edition a try (https://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php). I am in Latin America (Colombia) and I have been installing LMDE on 5-10 year old computers (former POS systems - old Dell Optiplexes and Latitudes), and its amazing how much it brings them back to life - fast & stable.

I am running - and strongly recommend - Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). https://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php

For the past several years, I was running Debian stable & XFCE. It is a great combination. However, I started teaching technology (programming, Linux, and maker-space tech, like laser cutters & CNC routers), and I wanted to see how close I could get to an "easy button" interface, paired with a principles-driven, highly stable base. I gave LMDE a try, with an open mind, and was seriously impressed.

Linux desktop environments have come a long way, and Mint - with the "start" button (with application quick search), window management, "sane" defaults - it just works.

I will also mention that the Software Manager perfectly blends Debian source packages, and FlatPaks. From my experience, nearly all software that I want to install on it "just works" by searching for it. Those that aren't available there, it seems that downloading a .Deb to install it "just works" as well.

As background context, I have used Linux for 20+ years (Mandrake, Gentoo, RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, and now LMDE) - LMDE gets my roaring endorsement, and I think more people ought to check it out.

Totally agree.

To others: The book is called "The Artists Way", and is an excellent guide to become more creative and expressive.

Consider using "bubble mapping" and connecting words/thoughts, instead of writing linear text.

I write a daily journal - in this calm relaxed mode, I write linearly (on dotted paper).

When I'm in a business meeting, or taking notes where time is fleeting (a speech / seminar), I use bubble notes - which is effective for quickly getting the thoughts down, and connecting them.

Give it a try!

Adding onto your point #1, you can tap it through rock - which has helped people who are trapped in caves communicate & get rescued!

Got recommendations for specific songs / groups for Lo-Fi beats & jazz? What I've found is that many lo-fi playlists contain songs that have a lot of distracting noises (voices, distorted guitar twang, rain drops, record crackle, etc) - so I've been slowly-but-surely making playlists of study/reading songs.

Thanks!
