I tried pencils but I find text written pencils to be too faint. I find it uncomfortable to read. But pen writes text in bright blue color which is more pleasing to read.
My last straw with Protonmail: I created an email account in Protonmail. Used it to send and receive emails as usual. Then one day suddenly their "algorithms" suspended my account because the "algorithms" found that my account was being used for abuse. That was the end of Protonmail for me. Back to GMail. I know people lose their GMail accounts too. But in the last 17 years, I had 0 issues with GMail and 1 issue with ProtonMail and that 1 issue disrupted my life for a while.
I now find me asking: What is a good reliable email provider out there? I know I can host my own email in my own server under my own domain name but on HN we have seen articles about people losing their domain names too. Is there truly no good way to have permanent email address?
If I try to search something within the page with Ctrl + F that also causes the whole page to re-render and display "loading ..." and "rendering ..." progress bar.
I wish I could limit the use of Internet to 1 hour per day. Like the olden days in the early days of internet.
Internet was given in our university for only 1 hour per day. It was possible to live in this manner even when I used to do programming. All programming documentation was available as PDFs or downloadable copies. I remember the MSDN documentation for C++ could be kept on the local machine. For Python I used to keep a PDF copy of the tutorial and reference i think.
These days I don't know anymore if that style of working will still work. Software has become so complex and error messages have become so many and so complex that I think we need access to internet all the time while programming. To see resolution to strange errors in Stack Overflow or on GitHub issues.
I wish all software developers did not assume that I am connected to the Internet all the time. It will be good if we can have a world where local-first internet-optional style of programming is still there.
