What's Your "Digital Comfort Food"?


We spend so much time online, but how much of it genuinely feeds us?

We all have our go-to websites, apps, or online rituals that feel like a warm blanket. Maybe it's a specific niche forum, a calming puzzle game, a curated music playlist, or a blog you've read for a decade.

I'm curious: What's your digital comfort food? What's that one corner of the internet you retreat to that always leaves you feeling a little bit better, calmer, or more inspired?

For me, it's organizing my digital spaces. There's something deeply satisfying about decluttering my phone's home screen and customizing my most-used apps to be as minimal and efficient as possible. It makes the digital world feel a little more like my world. This drive for a personalized experience even extends to using tools that offer more control, like wa gb apk for a cleaner, more tailored messaging setup.

So, what's yours? Share your links and reasons below—let's build a list of wholesome corners of the web

Are We Living in a Golden Age of Stupidity? - Slashdot


Test scores across OECD countries peaked around 2012 and have declined since. IQ scores in many developed countries appear to be falling after rising throughout the twentieth century. Nataliya Kosmyna at MIT's Media Lab began noticing changes around two years ago when strangers started emailing her to ask if using ChatGPT could alter their brains. She posted a study in June tracking brain activity in 54 students writing essays. Those using ChatGPT showed significantly less activity in networks tied to cognitive processing and attention compared to students who wrote without digital help or used only internet search engines. Almost none could recall what they had written immediately after submitting their work. She received more than 4,000 emails afterward. Many came from teachers who reported students producing passable assignments without understanding the material. A British survey found that 92% of university students now use AI and roughly 20% have used it to write all or part of an assignment. Independent research has found that more screen time in schools correlates with worse results. Technology companies have designed products to be frictionless, removing the cognitive challenges brains need to learn. AI now allows users to outsource thinking itself.

Not really. MAD assumes you have people on both sides who don’t want to permanently destroy the land.

With the religious right in charge of both Israel and Iran, both sides are perfectly happy to destroy the entire world in pursuit of a better afterlife.

This is one of those reasons that the separation of church and state is so important.

in reply to Em Adespoton

The same could be said for Russia or United States, both are controlled by Christian nationalists at the moment.

Which part of the UK legal definition of rape is gender neutral?
in reply to Networkcathode

Sorry, I misunderstood the meaning behind the comment above.

This doesn't change the definiton of Sexual Offences Act 2003, Section 1, so it would still only apply to people with a "penis". But the Victims and Courts Bill has many other sections that would apply to all genders.

It's easier to change banks than it is to make your bank change.

The (sadly messy) website of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values lists ethical banks around the world. I'm very happy with mine. 😀

Suddenly, Democratic Politicians Are Running Away From AIPAC


cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/48345159

When he launched his campaign last week for a Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat, Representative Seth Moulton made sure that one of his first moves was to announce that he is returning campaign donations that he received from individuals affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and would no longer accept campaign support from the group. Also last week, popular podcast hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan pressed Senator Cory Booker to answer whether he considered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal; The Ringer’s Van Lathan told Governor Gavin Newsom that Lathan would not support a 2028 candidate who took money from AIPAC, resulting in the governor literally squirming and using the word “interesting” repeatedly; radio host Charlamagne tha God asked Governor Josh Shapiro if AIPAC donations improperly influence U.S. decisions on Israeli-Palestinian issues; and MSNBC’s Eugene Daniels asked Kamala Harris if Israel’s actions over the last two years constitute genocide.
