Do you spend any time on learning HOW to learn?

Well along in my life and I've only recently realized the importance of hand writing things down.

My old physics teacher used to harp on it all the time and unfortunately I didn't take it that seriously.

@krock Maybe run the voice through multiple filters with parameters that are randomized and it would be too complex to reverse.

@krock I use TTS also - for textbooks. Works surprisingly well when the eyes are too tired to read.

There's some free options out there for voice changers. I've used Clownfish which is decent.

I'm wondering though, if you have voice modifying software that uses a preset change to your voice (i.e. pitch up by 40%, etc.) someone could probably reverse the effects to get your original voice for doxxing purposes.

Just you responding is making me think more deeply about this topic, so thank you.

How do we make social media platforms for introverts and privacy minded people without also opening the doors to trolls?

@krock I was thinking exactly that actually. And what if there was a software suite that did the audio or video masking for you to lower the barrier to entry.
I think if the intention to stay anonymous was given up front and multiple people were doing it, the audience wouldnt find it so strange.

I like the idea of focusing on the ideas and not the identity of the person.

How many of you would have a podcast (or something similar) if you could remain anonymous?

@Stellar I can't! Not with certainty.I hope you'd tell me if I was wrong about the wellness of your situation.

Be honest with your inner dialogue. The only other entity listening is your subconscious - and it's imperative that it know what you want.

💌 I like email. There is no expectation that it is answered quickly, so I can check it once a day, and only on workdays. It's good both for short answers and long-form discussions, with one person or many. It's federated and at least partially decentralised. There's a client serving all kinds of needs, from phones to the command line.

@sudosadhu yes! A schedule can do wonders. And the water of course. I skip breakfast.. first meal usually ~2pm. I have way more energy.

I finished my exam in 20 min.
We were allotted 90 min.
I got an 88%.
Given I was certain of all my answers, I believe I'm getting a good return per time/effort.
Also considering time is all I have.
On to less diminishing returns!
