This! I also configured my client to hide posts with ~10 keywords (trump, ice, kills, etc), and my feed suddenly had a much more diverse set of topics. Usually there is a common keyword between topics you’d want to see less of; you just need to keep it in mind while you’re browsing so you can find it!
Maybe not about your main employment, but I don’t understand why some people feel forced to do some other things:
They love web advertisements, get attached to specific products, prefer using company names instead of general words
e.g. “I’m in Zoom call”; just say “a voice/video call” or whatever, why do you have to advertise the company and perpetuate the mentality that “voice calls” → "Zoom calls“ and that there’s only one product people should use
same with sodas, medicine, browsers, search engines, tissues, copy machines, cleaning products, etc
Social media posts: they feel the need to advertise themselves (I’m not just talking about work-related stuff); some people can’t just post a nice vacation photo, and need to use it as an opportunity to act as influencers etc
I would say that some types of “I have to do a bad thing to someone else, otherwise they will do it to me” could be classified as capitalistic as well; no, Bob, no one is forcing you to undercut your coworker (except if you work in a company that uses KPIs etc maliciously)
The mentality that your hobbies can/should be used for profit, and that profit is the main reason anyone would do something that requires some time to do
I’ve written some open source stuff (code.gkak.la), and when I mention something I made to some people, their first reaction was “that’s great; so how are you going to sell it?”; and when I try to explain about open source (especially for personal scripts etc), they just can’t comprehend why would anyone do something like that, if not for profit
I’ve seen the same mentality online, around people being makers (e.g. knitting, 3d printing)
TL;DR:
Price:
“Under $100”:
After [the preorder], it will go up to $99.
Battery is not rechargeable:
And what happens when the battery runs out? You just send the ring back to be recycled.
Runtime:
The integrated battery will power the device for 12–14 total hours of recording. The designers estimate that to be roughly two years of usage if you record 10 to 20 short voice notes per day.
“Roughly two years” = lets say that’s 20 months
12 hours = 43.200 seconds = 72 seconds/day
"10-20 short voice notes" = 3.6-7.2 seconds per note
Features:
Records only while pressing the button
The recording is converted to text and fed into a large language model (LLM) that runs locally on your device to take actions. The speech-to-text process and LLM operate in the open source Pebble app, and no data from your notes is sent to the Internet. However, there is an optional online backup service for your recordings.
A model small enough to run on your phone has to focus on specific functionality rather than doing everything like a big cloud-based AI
Create or add to notes
Set reminder
Create alarm
Create timer
Play/pause/skip music track (via button press)
also designed to be hacking-friendly. The audio and transcribed text is yours […] You can route it to a different app via a webhook, and the LLM supports model context protocol (MCP), so you can add new functionality that also runs locally. The AI model will also be released as an open source project.

And that mailu.io (and other similar projects) makes self-hosting email almost trivial 😁 (at least for people that can run a pre-configured docker-compose.yml and buy their domain etc)
