I built this because I constantly find myself on Facebook instead of being productive. I wanting something that gave me the same experience of something that feels alive and active with likes, comments, notifications, etc. but that isn't toxic and redirects the time towards something good.
Would love to hear feedback on the app or the idea
Inspired by this post I threw together a new open source desktop app that has an annoying always on top window that has a flashing timer, this seems to accomplish the same thing. https://github.com/timsayshey/cringe-clock

One of the biggest ways I use iCloud Photos is as a screensaver on my Apple TV. As I am considering alternatives to Apple products due to privacy concerns, I am looking for something that has screensaver integrations with Android TV and/or Apple TV.

I think all censorship should be deplored. My position is that bits are not a bug. That we should create communications technologies that allow people to send whatever they like to each other. And when people put their thumbs on the scale and try to say what can and can't be sent, we should fight back - both politically through protest and technologically through software. - Aaron Swartz
I've been following Hacker News for over a decade and my sense of the community is that it has always been overwhelmingly pro free speech at any cost (even in the cases where it would protect something outright illegal).
