Finally, the author consistently tracks daily tasks and plans in their journal.

My Response: I love how it ascribes motivation/desire to simple thoughts. The issue with using GitHub is that if you use any copyrighted materials, even if you own them and only have them in private repos, they can and will destroy your account with no compensation. On top of that, algorithm-driven decision-making ruins lives.

I haven't read Stiff by Mary Roach, but it's happy to claim I have. It's fucking weird and wrong how it describes "searching for a balance" between privacy and control.. there is no balance. Privacy is being violated and that's not okay.

It makes up content about dangers of AI, when all I had written was that I needed to collate a note about it. It's also completely missing the mark, because it talks of that as a background anxiety and how "we're in uncharted waters" when the problem is that most issues are well understood but ignored. I want to have better notes on it so that I can better explain that to others.

Ah yes, nothing says learning quite like being unable to use a tool you know how to use..

..It's not about how you use tools, it's about corporations ruining things..
