I owe Merlin Mann @hotdogsladies a debt of gratitude. In 2005 he introduced me to #GTD. Twenty years!
For the first ten years I flailed around: didn't really get it, couldn't find the right software, didn't have an #ADD diagnosis.
In the last ten years, it clicked. Narrowed the scope and dropped irrelevant cargo-culting from GTD, got treated, and wrote my own #OrgMode customizations. Another big part was Merlin's wise encouragement to be gentle to yourself.
Also twenty years of working on something habitually pays off.

@jameshowell @hotdogsladies I believe it was around the same time for me! I was still in school but through the magic of finding interesting early day blogs online, GTD came into my life just when I was about to be overwhelmed with graduating. 🌠
What are your org-mode customizations like? I admit I've fallen off the bandwagon in the last decade and now just wing it :)

@ctietze My tweaks to Org mode are each trivial, and likely uninteresting to anyone else. Almost all of them are methods visually to hide things in order to examine items one at a time. Lots of keybindings to reduce friction. Everything possible to reduce distractions, decisions, executive fatigue.
The point is that within the System EVERY transaction is MINE. And that with email (mu4e) and tasks/projects (Org) tightly integrated and optimized to my personal quirks and whims, the whole is much, much greater than the sum of its parts.
These successes require a tiny bit of coding skill, alas, but much more crucially they required the Four Freedoms.

Yes, being able to take control is key and not really understood by many.My Emacs is just that: mine. It works how I want it to work (mostly ;-)).

Build Yourself A Graphing Weather Display
These days, Internet connectivity is ubiquitous, so you can look up live weather data on just about any device around you. Regardless, [Jozerworx] wanted a simple, clean, independent weather display, and came up with this simple design.
The build is based on the Lilygo T5 EPD devboard, which combines an ESP32-S3 microcontroller with a nice 4.7-inch e-paper display. This display has the benefit that it only uses power when it’s being updated, making it particularly suitable to run off a battery for extended periods of time. Meanwhile, the ESP32 and its inbuilt Wi-Fi connectivity allow it to query the internet for updated weather forecasts. Weather data is sourced via the OpenWeather API, which [Jozerworx] notes comes with the caveat of requiring an API key. It’s a little fussy, but if you want good weather data, there are few easier ways to get it. The display shows a forecast for the next five days, while also showing graphs of ambient temperature and humidity along with useful information like the sunset and sunrise schedule.
Files are on Github for those eager to learn more. [Jozerworx] also notes that getting started with the display is particularly easy with the inclusion of a setup mode. This allows the display to act as a Wi-Fi access point with a web page that you use enter your home Wi-Fi connection details.
We’ve featured a great many charming weather displays over the years, too. If you’re working to plot, chart, or even predict the weather—don’t hesitate to show us your cool projects over on the tipsline!

Meta told the EU it will use less personal data for ads
...and those dummies believed it!!!

Dear lord... this Assassin's Creed game has some of the best nature and weather effects I've seen 😍

What is your favorite social media moment?
(It doesn't have to be one you were involved in - just a "social media at its best/worst" moment works too)

Does nobody monitor that grid? How do you even steal that much power?

@mayor nice!

@redsad so much
