Nostr Web Client

I keep trying to manage my on-line experience to be what I want it to be. I have ad blockers. I run an extension on YouTube so I don't see any suggested videos and can't spend hours surfing it. I don't have a lot of social media on my phone. I put my computer in an inconvenient room when I go to bed so I don't look when I wake up. I put every screen I have in grayscale.

Yet it's still hard to stay off of stuff that's addicting. It's like the incentives are not aligned for these places to have me be productive. They want me to doomscroll instead.

it’s a hard fight indeed with every major corporation fighting to get your attention in one way or another.

little by little, you regain it one inch at a time 💪

UBlock Origin is pretty good for this as well. You have to get under the hood a bit but there's a way to block YouTube shorts which I hate.

They just removed support for this extension from chrome.

from what I've read it's not fully disabled on chrome and you can just toggle it back on. 3rd hand information.

There’s an entire industry of people who’s entire existence is to just keep you on these sites and decides, watching their ads and clicking where they want you to click. The corporate types have completely captured tech and ruined so much of it’s utility in the process.

I like the product Brick a lot . . . just expands on the screen time function on IPhones and makes it harder to mindlessly just on screens.

Dopamine hits. Not easy to control. Takes disciplines.
