A thought for why it may have been easier for you to regularly use your paper journal while not maintaining the digital journal: it may be a matter of visual cuing.

With the paper journal it sits somewhere that you’ll see it regularly, probably along your route to bed. Seeing the journal may have been your mental cue to write in it, as opposed to simple routine or habit. You don’t get the same kind of cue from a digital journal because even a set reminder is no different from the bevy of notifications your phone gives you throughout the day.

Something that could help you keep up with your digital journal is to start keeping a physical journal in the same place you kept your old one. Maybe put an NFC tag in it that just launches your digital journal when scanned/tapped. Then you’ll still have that visual cue and habit reaction force to keep you journaling.

This is the story I came to this thread for. Amazing! Thanks for posting!

A thought: any ai-image detector is a defacto trainer for ai-image generators. It necessarily becomes a kind of arms race in the same way that spam generators test their payloads against spam filters.

I see a lot of concern in this thread that future TVs would just peer-to-peer or cellular connect to do their dastardly functions. Wouldn’t this be preventable by putting a fine wire mesh around the box on the rear of the panel? Sure, the signal could still go out through the panel, but that’s bound to incur a lot of interference from the panel itself, right?

Thank you for reposting it! I’ve been looking for resources like these.

Do you honestly think Biden is making the argument that China will pay for these tariffs? So far he’s been pretty clear that it’s about giving American companies an advantage here, not about making China pay.
