The 404 Media team wrote about what they learned in their first year of 404 Media, and it’s full of hope.

 

An instant classic, Daniel Lavery’s How to win the battle against objects shares an extremely healthy strategy based on blaming an inanimate appliance and a person (who isn’t yourself) for anything inconvenient that happens to you. My partner and I have been practicing hard and I’m sorry to say they’re naturally gifted (and I’m naturally infuriated).

It's pretty much what happens in long-distance running, and it's seen as very positive (which it is)

Vraiment trop cool !

Mais c'est terrible : la ligne D va servir à quelque chose maintenant, un vivier de blagues locales qui disparaît...

Oh, I didn't know, thanks very much for the correction!

I don't know about the author, but I'm on Linux and Android and the apps I see on Notion Calendar are for Windows and Mac for desktop and for iOS on phone.

I've tried the web client a bit when it came out but it just didn't really click for me (as in, I didn't see how it would be better than any email client that has an integrated calendar). Also, calendar web clients just don't answer the issue, in my opinion. And regular Notion is slow and clunky in my experience, so I haven't given them the benefit of the doubt on the Calendar part of their tooling. :)

Depression can worsen or mimic ADHD symptoms and it's common to tackle that first. The ADHD diagnosis is irrelevant, what matters is that your life gets better. :)

I lost ten kilos last year and was super proud.

Then life got harder, and then I injured my knee skiing, and then I went on an eat pray love type trip for a month, so I gained eight back since October.

But I'm glad to say I lost 5kg since the beginning of last month and am (nearly) back on track. The mild calorie deficit is going really well and I don't feel deprived at all, which I'm truly happy with. Only gotta keep it up longer this time! :)

In my city, we don't have a subway, but we have trains and tramways and buses (and my city's super flat and very bike-friendly). I haven't owned a car in 10 years. My partner sold their car this year because it took them more time to drive around than to take public transportation or their bike.

All of France yep!

I got one! It was delicious!

Lake Bled was really beautiful, I really liked it! My heart went to Bohinj though :D

  1. Yes but make it co-op. Bandcamp's business model led to poor HR practices during merges and acquisitions.
  2. I really don't think it would require a millionnaire, actually - it sounds like a project that wouldn't be super complex with a team of 3 or 4 people.
  3. I've seen people do similar things on Itch.io and on their own website so I don't think the barriers are really there!
  4. I love the idea :)
