Happy 32nd Birthday @SDF ! #SDF32 #UNIX50

So I decided to actually use #pocket. Not just in #firefox, but sign up for it and use it.

Over the last few months I've found most of the stories I get recommended are the kind of light clickbait and opinion found on sites like vox or vice. Very little of what people are calling 'fake news', but also very little of substance. Same for when I perform searches in pocket.

It's not bad for what it is, but I'm fairly certain I don't need what it is.

Some things that I have noticed since I quit #Facebook:

- My family still loves me and still talks to me
- Old friends from high-school still talk to me
- Old friends from college still talk to me
- I still meet new people
- I still make new friends
- I still shop at local businesses
- I'm still aware of events in my community

Huh, it's almost like I never needed Facebook in the first place.

Is it normal that I get physically ill when my co-workers talk proudly about using VS Code ?

That seems like a normal response to me.
