Stukje bij beetje gaan de bedrijven de goede kant uit: Bij deze bedrijven moet je stil zijn onder werktijd: ‘Ik krijg veel meer gedaan’ × Madelon Meester

Is er op jouw kantoor ook tijd en ruimte voor stilte?

Far too many people are unaware of the real consequences of giving up their privacy. As Carissa Véliz writes, privacy is not a private problem, privacy is a collective issue.

Because we are intertwined in ways that make us vulnerable to each other, we are responsible for each other’s privacy. I might, for instance, be extremely careful with my phone number and physical address. But if you have me as a contact in your mobile phone and then give access to companies to that phone, my privacy will be at risk regardless of the precautions I have taken. This is why you shouldn’t store more sensitive data than necessary in your address book, post photos of others without their permission, or even expose your own privacy unnecessarily. When you expose information about yourself, you are almost always exposing information about others.

I lostinvested half the morning on finding good alternatives to Zencastr for recording podcast interviews locally, since Zencastr had technical issues.

Fortunately, the issues have been resolved, but now I have two alternative solutions ready in case they ever have issues again: a local solution based on the Audio Hijack–BlackHole combination and Ringr.

I had exactly the same problem happen to me.

Even though I have my iPhone configured to only allow calls from my contacts, some some spam calls got through. I just needed to delete my old ‘Don’t answer’ contact, which I used in the past to silence known phone spammers.

The is so much great advice in this article. More than ‘hacks’ these are basic principles.

As you start with your meditation practice, the first thing you’ll notice is that your mind is completely out of control.

I’ve been wanting to up my meditation practice for a while now. Today I started Sam Harris' 50 day training course Waking Up, since I’ve heard many good things about it.

The first session was—as expected—a very basic 5–minute breathing mindfulness exercise. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s session…

🤔 I’m having mixed feelings on WordPress.

On one side, the platform is hopelessly bloated, and on the other side, anytime I want to change something on my site I need “Yet Another Plugin”, since Wordpress doesn’t do it out of the box.

Derek Sivers discusses what it is like to live according to your values:

Once you realize that one value is more important to you than another, you have to ask yourself if you’re living accordingly.

What’s ultimately more important to you?

• Learning? Or creating?
• Money? Or time?
• Expanding? Or focusing?
• (… etc.)

Once you know which takes top place, consider taking it to an extreme, to its logical conclusion, and optimizing your entire life around that top priority, letting go of almost everything else.

This is so important. If everything is a priority, nothing is and your output will most likely be mediocre.

As every year, we went within a few days from sunny at 28℃ to cold and wet. Autumn has officially started in Lleida.

If I notice an error on a page on my site, is there any way to quickly open the current entry or page in WordPress?

Creo que debería existir un carné por puntos para periodistas. Para cada mentira que hay en sus artículos, el periodista pierde un punto. Para ganar puntos hay que encontrar mentiras en los artículos de otros periodistas.

Since VideoDrive doesn’t work on macOS Catalina (and I don’t see an update coming soon), I decides to give iFlicks a try for importing video files in the TV app.

So far I like it very much, especially the rules engine for customising and fixing meta data errors.

En este día hace tres años tuvo una videollamada que me cambió la vida. Era la primera conversación sobre lo que ahora es KENSO.

No teníamos ningún plan en concreto, no había propósito. Sólo había una conexión personal, muchas ganas de trabajar juntos y unos valores compartidos.

An interesting insight from the book This is not propaganda by Peter Pomerantsev: modern politics don’t censor anymore. The new way of censoring is by flooding the media with ‘alternative’ news, so it is difficult to know whether information is real or just part of a campaign.

What over a decade of number-crunching analytics has taught me is that spending an hour writing, sharing, or helping someone is infinitely more valuable than spending that hour swimming through numbers.

This is so true. I do have statistics, but hardly ever look at them.
