Perhaps I’m too young to speak on something like this but I think there’s something admirable about being able to ‘finish’ life (so-to-speak) which is to say, I like the idea of being able to complete all the projects I want to compete, see all the films I want to see, and read all the books I want to read.

That being said, I understand the importance of mortality in the selection of what you choose to do with your time and, for that reason, perhaps you’re right about longevity. Perhaps living forever is the glossy finish on a shallow epistemological notion.

So, I understand both sides of the argument.

Perhaps not forever but having the option to live as long as you want and to choose when you want to die seems empirically preferable.

You could always use something like Bookstack for a wiki.

Regardless of the difference between declination and softening (keep in mind it’s difficult to show when people stop using a platform as most don’t delete their account), the mass advertising campaign of theirs definitely worked incredibly well

Also, I feel like it’s something people probably don’t wanna talk about, but a lot of Reddit’s appeal is in NSFW content - so a NSFW instance would also likely increase users.

I feel like I good advertising campaign could do wonders. Reddit’s userbase was beginning to decline around a year ago (if I’m remembering correctly) and so they had this massive marketing campaign with a focus on how there’s a community for everything and, then, they had a massive increase in users.

People are not happy at DDG filtering their web results as they feel they should be able to decide for themselves what is fake news and what is real.

That being said, their results are not the best. I would probably recommend MetaGer.

I know Mojeek have their own database of pages that are not taken from Google or Bing or anywhere else.

So, I assume there’s not an Electron alternative that is able to port internet desktop applications without any privacy or resource issues?

Ahhh, perfect; thank-you.

Thanks.

Ahhh, I see; so, essentially, a combination of both resources and privacy.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank-you very much.

Do they have statistics pages though? With subject-specific data? And do they offer timers and countdowns that aren’t restricted to pomodoro timers? Cause that’s what I need.

Partially. But most people, myself included, use it to track the ratio and statistics of their studying. For example, I like to check the stats page to ensure I’m not spending too much time studying one thing and not enough time studying another. Additionally, I like to make sure I’m studying a consistent amount from one month/week/year to another so I can ensure I’m not dropping off.

Fantastic list! I would love to find an open-source, decentralised alternative to iMDB/Letterboxd for tracking movies. If anyone knows of one, let me know!

There’s a similar table-style website like this but for messengers; do you have it? Cause I saw it once and haven’t been able to find it again.

I second this; Zorin is amazing
