I thought this was a "carpe diem" motivational post xD

Visually, okay for me.

UX wise, not really a revolution.

Please learn from Zen Browser.

What part of Zen's UX does Firefox need to learn from?

I used Zen for a while (and Arc before that). I didn't get what was particularly novel about either. My browsing did not feel revolutionized.

What have I not been getting?

Edit: I realize it may not come across as one but this is a genuine question.

How about other frontier models, and smaller models?

A wonderful exposition of an original take. Really well written, and delightfully succinct.

Coming from a new-pragmatist orientation, this is a nice invitation to look more carefully at phenomological takes.

More please!

I've recently become curious about the scene, and discovered quite a bit going on. It seems most tech coops are operating more like agencies, taking on client work. Haven't seen many developing products.

Here is a great list of tech coops: https://tech-coops.xyz/

Here is a new but somewhat active matrix channel where some tech coops folks hangout: https://matrix.to/#/#techcoop:autonomic.zone We plan to have an informal call to chat there on 22nd of February at 17:00-18:30 UTC.

Here is a Discourse forum for tech coops: https://community.coops.tech/

Note that a big problem with building a product tech coop is that you exactly can't as easily raise millions: investors by definition cannot take stake in a coop. Instead, you need a business loan, and its less common to find financiers willing to loan large rounds for high risk investment. That may be a cultural thing though, because in theory, sufficient interest could offset the risk in aggregate I guess.

Brexit 2.0

I've recently migrated to Zen [0] and its a breath of fresh air.

I agree with comments arguing bad bookmark UX is part of the problem. Zen's approach is a vertical tab sidebar with workspaces and folders. Crucially, it distinguishes pinned and ephemeral tabs.

The approach is much more natural to me than either bookmarks and tradition tabs.

Love Zen.

I am not sure it fixed my tab problem, but it improved tab management and overall efficiency.

Omnivore helped a bunch before they shut down. I need to see if any good apps exist that are similar.

Love Zen's approach to tabs. I just wish that folders didnt have to live in the pinned area and could be down with all my junk tabs.

Nettles & fresh jalapeño salad with mayo-miso dressing is one of my favorite inventions.

The reading part is a few orders of magnitude more work now. I would say that is a change.

I know its disturbing to many, but there is something nice about the post-truth moment: it feels like more people are actually questioning things more than when I grew up in the 90s/00s.

I think we need to shift towards a socionormative understanding of knowledge; as Rorty put it: "a fact is just something we can't be bothered to argue about". I agree with him that talking about truth isn't so useful for moving our culture forward.

We should be talking about how to negotiate the diverse vocabularies of discursive communities as they increasingly clash in our globalized culture. Dialectical exclusion is the cultural catastrophe of the day.
