@patdavid I would highly recommend looking at todo.txt. It's a protocol for saving GTD or similar project and time management todo lists in plain text files.

On my phone I use simpletask as a front end for my todo.txt file. On my computer I use my own program to manipulate the todo.txt file. Using plain text files means u can write scripts quickly to grep or >> the file.

I wrote a blog post on this recently if you're interested?

The US Copyright Office is inviting comments on whether to introduce a requirement that all online services must filter all communications by users accused of copyright infringement.

This has major implications for not only censorship but it would cement tech and media giants' dominance thus killing smaller websites in the process.

Good read: No, your cryptocurrency cannot work.

Existing blockchain implementations create an incentive structure that very closely resembles a pyramid scheme and benefits the most privileged members the most. If an alternative to this is ever created (I’d like to see an alternative very much), it will likely be published in the form of an academic pdf that doesn’t want your money.

Just came across a fascinating #indie #game "Nowhere" in #crowdfunding by #Duangle games (one half of which is @sylvia_ritter here on Masto!).

It's largely procedural with each life played as an individual creature in the same organic, #scifi society, so your actions in one life will have consequences on all your future lives. This is a fascinating idea from a perspective of building empathy and society level thinking.

Take a look at:
