i'm doing it

closing all tabs on browser close (option)

#tabzero #attention

Despite a mild sense of anxiety that I'll forget something, I'm loving the "close all tabs when closing browser" option (mobile)

Feels like going into a freshly made bed.

Sometimes I need to watch a video on youtube.

Even if I quickly go fullscreen, there's enough time to be enticed by the algorithmically-addictive video on the side menu.

What browser magic can I most simply implement to hide the side menu?

Ukraine itself is not our enemy whereas those who want to destroy Russian statehood and to achieve, as they say, a strategic defeat of Russia on the battlefield, are mainly in the West, but still, there are different people there. There are people who sympathise with us and who are with us at heart. But there are the elites who think the existence of Russia (at least in its current state and size) is unacceptable. They want to disintegrate it. As a matter of fact, you are young people, some have read about this, perhaps: they do not hide it. They speak and write about this publicly, and have been doing it for decades, if we are talking about contemporary history. For decades, they have simply been writing frankly about it: divide Russia into five parts, one is too much. I can talk about this till morning, but it is obvious.

Therefore, they have been nurturing the Kiev regime for quite a long time, precisely to create this conflict. Unfortunately for us, they have achieved this: they started this conflict and are trying to achieve their objective, namely the task of fighting Russia, with the help of Ukrainians.

You probably see on the battlefield that they are gradually losing their zest. When a projectile flies, it is difficult to understand whether they are losing it or not, but in general you probably know that the situation on the battlefield is changing. This is despite the fact that the entire “civilised” West is fighting us.

I like logging out of mastodon (web-app) when I go, to increase the barrier of distraction.

But then, when I go back to the web-app to ask a question, post some info, etc, I'm confronted with the extremely distracting trending toots on the home page.

what do 🤔

#Attention is the fundamental event. Anything that happens outside it, does not enter your experience. Attention is a tube that directs sunlight on some part of your inner garden, and not on others. It is how you cultivate yourself. You are what you attend to. There is nothing more serious.
