In times of crisis, music can give us hope. If you feel down, music lifts you up. It motivates you. It touches us. Giving hope is so powerful, music is powerful. Let there be music, let there be hope. Listen. Feel.

How are you using your phone? I converted my smartphone to a dumb phone, restricting everything: no icons, no apps. I switched to Firefox to install extensions (SocialFocus, Untrap). Bedtime is now the default. Social media scheduled. What are your tricks?

TIL—There's a calculator on the cmd-line with `bc`. And you can calculate your text in Neovim by selecting the calculation and sending it to be with `!bc`. Booom, your calculation is now replaced with the result. Thanks, prime!

Johann Hari says in "Stolen Focus", that you can let rats or pigeons do whatever you want them to by rewarding them with food when they do something you want them to do. Instagram and other apps reward us with hearts, likes, and views when we publish something; giving us dopamine hits. Hmm.. 🤔
