I asked it to complete ONE task:

You've hit your limit · resets 2am (America/Los_Angeles)

I waited until the next day to ask it to do it again, and then:

You've hit your limit · resets 1pm (America/Los_Angeles)

At which point I just gave up

Use it to save your data, shouldn't be hard to get it working elsewhere

This is cool, I built something similar a while back. I originally wanted the screen to dim when I slouched but I couldn't get access to dimming on OSX. I ended up just playing a noise when I slouched. It became so distracting I stopped using it.

The blurring of the screen is a much better idea.

Even if all the electricity for EVs came from a centralized coal plant (it doesn't) it would be better than using combustion in individual vehicles. Centralized pollution in one area is better than attempting to mitigate diffuse pollution everywhere.

Your body attacks substances that appear foreign, whether they're actually foreign or not is another issue.

Human bodies did not evolve for high macro diets, the high levels of sugar (among other molecules) in our diet glycosylate proteins they touch, warping their folding shape and causing inflammation as the body mistake itself for foreign invaders.

Probably a reason why fasting has become so popular, people are walking around with high levels of damage from dense caloric food, a fast allows your body to go through a cycle of catabolism/autophagy. Clearing our the misfolded/damaged proteins lowers inflammation.

I got used to the taste after a couple of drinks. The few flavors available mask the taste.

For me it was similar to alcohol or coffee. Did not like it the first few times but gradually got used to it. Now I take a sip and it's refreshing.

Try Ketohol, it's gaining popularity.

You get a slight buzz and no crummy feeling afterwards. Active ingredient is called 1-3-butanediol, breaks down into a ketone which is easily processed by the body. Unlike alcohol which breaks down into acetylaldehyde, nasty stuff.

Downsides are cost, availability, taste (not great) and buzz is not as strong as alcohol.

I will never forget starting off my career as a 'contract employee' with no benefits. Working long hours I developed quite a few health problems within the first year. It was nearly impossible to see a doctor and when I finally did I had to fight the insurance company for weeks to cover a visit.

I was making every single meal to save money, my supervisor used to sneak us food from the c-suite catered lunches after we were banned from going upstairs to scavenge their leftovers.

When my contract was up they offered me another contract, after a year I expected to be offered full-time employment with benefits. I asked around to see if this was normal and met someone who had been a contract employee for 5 years. I quit the next week.

I think California passed a law preventing contractor classification abuse shortly after this but it left a lasting impression on my view of corporate business culture.

The mass recoginition of Aphantasia and the rise of screentime seems somewhat correlated. They might be reinforcing one another, multiple avenues of cognition could be warping in unprecedented ways.

Highly industrialized societies have large populations that can experience, interact and survive their entire lives almost solely through screens. This seems to be an unknowing experiment we're performing on brains.
