A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I've had multiple times when I launched Boost (my third party app of choice - at least until it's forced to shut down) out of force of habit.

Thankfully, I planned for this eventuality. I installed a "focus" app and set it to block Boost and the Reddit app for 2 days. (I've since also moved the apps away from their usual spot on my phone to prevent launches.)

I just uninstalled BaconReader a couple of days ago. I replaced its shortcut with Jerboa yesterday.

I logged into old a few times since to check for any orangereds, but it's been long enough now that I never need to go back to check on anything.
