When I was younger I liked imagining having conversations with people from the past like Plato or something, thinking about their reactions to The Future. (Though I guess I only really imagined my own side of the conversation.)

Now I can't focus"]]>For me the biggest blocker is just picking a task from my todo list when I don't have someone asking me (today) and I didn't leave a task half finished. If it's been >1d since someone asked me for something, I'm often fairly paralyzed for a while and it's a huge exertion to commit to a task. But when I get going I'm fine. TODO lists, gtd, calendars or AI don't seem to help me there.

I also suspect timings will be very repo specific, eg most of mine don't have very many tags.

2026: hold my molt beer

(I love how "connect an ai to the internet" is always the precursor to doom in pre-2022 scifi scenarios, and then as soon as we get something we call ai we hit that big red button)

I mean, here the dad has android the mom iphone amd they want to sync a keepass file? Maybe with a browser addon on a desktop as well? And the most popular third party android app is discontinued (I use the nerdily named syncthing-fork) and the ios apps i never managed to get to work for my family (maybe sushitrain works now?). But if you live close to parents I guess it can work. This kind of software can be good for social cohesion and less isolation =P
