Logseq has genuinely made me a less stupid person. It's confusing to learn, but the ceiling for articulating and organising your thoughts and knowledge base is insanely high. Other apps kind of feel like I'm fighting the limitations of my tools in order to organise a mental library of where to find information.

I read the headline and my immediate thought was "is this controlled for socioeconomic class?"

I guess I'm reading the paper

I'm a huge proponent of the command line, but you often spend more time learning tools and configuring your environment than getting work done.

I'd instead recommend you start with learning basic system administration for Linux. User management and permissions on https://linuxjourney.com/ or TLCL would be a good place to start. Of course there's a good chance your desktop environment has ways of configuring users and permissions, too.

Ublock origin has a very powerful URL filtering system, e.g. https://beehaw.org/c/gaming$document blocks you from accessing the gaming community on beehaw, but doesn't stop you from accessing https://beehaw.org or other communities on the site.

A very interesting and crazy proposition, but I think you're asking the wrong question. There are definitely ways of removing distractions from your environment without resorting to something so drastic.

E.g. have you considered creating a user with restricted access to certain programs (example) and set up add-ons for web browsers that restrict access to certain websites?

I suppose I'll be watching two pile of snakes pretending to be people for the duration of which this plays out.

 
 

Heyo, what little things with Reddit and RES have you been missing with the Lemmy UI?

For me it's been keyboard post/comment navigation (like RES) and keyboard shortcuts. E.g. I can't post this submission with ctrl + enter as I could on many other input forms.

Fedora, I'm not a tech person by Linux user standards and I just need an OS that works
