I also used to use Evernote a lot, but ever since they moved to their current app it became so slow that it was unusable I just moved to Apple notes with folders.
People are still holding on with the hope that it’s going to rebound, after something that high profile it’s been tainted and it’s more associated now with scams. When the ”every day person” can’t find a use for it in their daily lives, there isn’t much value for it to grow beyond a specific subset of users, and that’s what FTX was trying to do, but ultimately failed at.
Ever since FTX, there’s no way that crypto is recovering in the United States. The public perception is completely ruined. It’s only a matter of time before all these services shut down.
We all want to feel like we're in control of our own lives but none of us ever are. The trade off is when you focus on one thing inevitably other things will suffer as people can't do two things at once. Best bet is to realize there are lots of tasks that need done (and no you can't plan a perfect calendar to do it all) and all you can do is find a system that takes all the incoming tasks that need to be done, prioritize them, set a due date and forget about them and only do the things that are required of you that day. I found Todoist years ago and have found great levels of success using it. Good luck!
I might not work for them, but this does affect my perception about them and potentially purchasing products from them if they treat their people like this.
The virtue signal of all virtue signals. We do not live in a society where an article like this will have any impact. This is merely an attempt to buy time because they're behind and want to have a chance to catch up. Work will progress whether they like it or not. Finally someone other than Ol' Musky is in the news more than him. Don't get me wrong he's doing and leading great work, but for once in more recent times it's someone else building the future instead of only him and his memes.
I used to live in a small town and now live in the suburbs. I do miss it some days but then there are days that I remember that I'd spend a good portion of my day trying to get the basics taken care of such as driving 30 miles to a Costco or ordering a car part and waiting several days for it to show up since I didn't want to pay extra for shipping. However I also remember how peaceful it was and how close the community felt. If you're wondering what it's like I'd say go for it and try something new, just bring yourself and your things but try to be open to how they do things there too. The only way you'll find out if you like it is to try it. Good luck!
Edit: Something interesting that I found along the way is that I do like small towns and I do like the city. I found that when I start to notice that feeling of "it's all too much" that I need to go do something physical instead of sitting at a computer or scrolling on my phone. So maybe that's go wash the dishes, or maybe that's go for a walk or bike ride, the key being that I need to balance my time between the digital world and physical world as much as possible to feel good about myself.
I recently unsubscribed from YouTube TV because it had an insane number of ads for watching one episode of a favorite show. I think I counted a total of 8 breaks in the show and each break has 1-5 ads. What a joke.
The problem with a lot of academics is that they think everything has to be perfect. That’s just not how the real world works. People have seen that it can be useful and that’s all it is for now it’s up to humans to decide whether it provides value or not. And yes, it will generate bullshit from time to time but like anything it’ll get better. I remember when they used to say the Internet wasn’t very useful too, look how that turned out.
