#digitalminimalism — Public Fediverse posts

Ah, the #permacomputing manifesto: because who wouldn't want to combine the excitement of sustainable farming ethics with the electrifying world of digital minimalism? 🌱💻 Apparently, saving the planet now involves transforming your laptop into a virtuous eco-warrior, armed with 10 thrilling principles. How innovative! 🙄

It's so funny that every few months or so there is a new wave of people discovering Cal Newport (directly or his ideas).

Every time it happens, there are a bunch of new videos/shorts/posts titled something like "why following your passion is not good for you" or "what is digital minimalism and why you need it".
And I'm feeling smug, thinking "I see you've read the books, huh?"

At the same time, I've done it too.

And I will do it again!

Technology exists to extend human abilities, yet so often it is applied in ways that disrupt mental calm.

Why do we use our most powerful tools to scatter attention instead of supporting focus, reflection, and deep thinking?

Considering a self-hosted personal thought server:

Protect thinking from unnecessary noise and the distraction economy

Maintain focus and continuity in reasoning

Use Raspberry Pi OS Lite for a minimal, stable environment

Deploy a personalized LLM to support private exploration

Keep full control over knowledge and data

We spend hours on social media.

Are we stressing too much about what it does to us?

Cal Newport has a fresh take worth reading.

I’m trying another #DigitalDeclutter, as #CalNewport outlined in his #DigitalMinimalism book. I’ll be off Mastodon — and other social media — until April at least.
