That’s kind of him.

I’ve been reading his work.

Mistborn, Warbreaker and some short novellas in between. Now I’m halfway into The Way of Kings and loving it. Saving your comment for possible future reference!

Not exactly what you asked for but I use Simple Time Tracker for reading.

I think it has some automated function to track automatically based on some android events (Such as start or stopping a specific app) but I start/stop each reading session manually since I don’t read using the same device.

You can create different activities to track and assign tags which I do (1 tag = 1 book) and then see statistics on per activity / tag / time period.

It cannot track heartbeat or steps, it can arguably and inaccurately track sleep if you start and stop manually.

If you find any use in correlating time tracking to health (time in the gym, time doom scrolling, or what not), it may serve you some purpose.

It doesn’t know anything about calories or sleep hours or exercise, it’s a time tracking app.

You seem to be well informed. I have no knowledge of what units are used formally, or in engineering or so, but often when I read news from the USA where measures are present, I find that they sometimes use the imperial units, and sometimes “the asteroid of the size of 5 football fields” or “a hole of the size of 4 washing machines opened in the road”.

That being said, it’s likely a journalism issue. Clickbaits matter more than accuracy. That unfortunately holds true not just for the USA…

This message is half a screen long.

Not a celebrity, kind of like @pedz@lemmy.ca, but Daniel Naroditsky.

I did not expect his death would affect me as much as it did. Fuck K.

Good write up. I agree with several points

And it pains me too that everything is damn electron. Can we please go back to writing stuff that doesn’t require that?

I don’t mind an old style interface. Hell, in many cases I’ll welcome it with open arms. Modern UI is not necessarily better. Both tech wise and also style wise.
