  1. "Distraction-Free Desktop" is a self-written Gnome Shell extension that does the following:
    - Centers every new window at half the width of the screen and two-thirds the height.
    - Hides all non-active windows.
    - Active window can still be resized and maximized to full screen size when needed.

    Download:
    cramer.pleintekst.nl/distracti

    When used with the Gnome Shell extension "Just Perfection," the desktop shows nothing but the currently active window in the middle of the screen. All docks and status bars are deactivated and all inactive windows are hidden. However, they can be reactivated by tab-cycling through windows or via the desktop overview triggered by the Super/Windows key.

    (Radical distraction freedom. Makes Gnome even more minimalist than evilwm [except in the codebase...] - and window management even less cluttered than tiling window managers...)

    Pointless screenshot attached.

  2. It's easy to turn any obsolete #retrocomputing #laptop into a #distractionfree #writing device. You just install a GUI-less version of #DOS or your favorite #Linux distro, install your favorite #vintage text-based
    #wordprocessor and presto! The problem comes when you want to sync your writing up to Dropbox or read your files in Google Docs or you want good notes organization or research tools or any of the other conveniences the #internet offers to authors.

  3. 🔮✨ Behold! The new Ensō beta has arrived, promising to remove every distraction except the feature announcement itself. Dubbed "Occult Vampire Keanu," it's as tested as a toddler's first steps and as polished as a potato. 🥔🔍

  4. Sidephone is a distraction-free phone with a 2.8 inch display and swappable keypads

    The Sidephone is an upcoming cellphone that looks like a blast from the past thanks to its candy bar-style design with a small screen positioned above a keypad. The $249 phone is kind of a throwback to a style of handset that was designed primarily for making phone calls, and not much else.

    But it’s also a modern device that runs a custom version of Android, so it does support some apps like […]

  5. Has anyone tried out #TinkerWriterDeckOS (shortest name in the world), the minimal #DistractionFree #Linux Debian-based distribution (mainly on laptop I guess) for just #writing ? 🤔

  6. Lilbits: Light Phone III begins shipping, Amazon Kindle update lets you turn pages by tapping the back or sides

    The Light Phone line of handsets are positioned as minimalist phones that do less than most modern smartphones, while still letting you make calls, send messages, and perform basic functions… without giving into the temptation to spend hours doomscrolling.

    But that doesn’t mean users don’t want a nice screen or a decent camera. So last year Light began taking pre-orders for the Light […]

  7. The Minimal Phone is now shipping (E Ink phone with a QWERTY keyboard)

    The Minimal Phone is a modern phone with a retro aesthetic. Instead of a big color display that covers the whole device, it has a small 4.3 inch black and white E Ink display and a physical QWERTY keyboard that offers tactile feedback when you type.

    First introduced last year, the phone’s developers raised over $600,000 through an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, and now the company has […]

  9. Mudita Kompakt is a minimalist phone with an E Ink display and modern features like wireless charging and a fingerprint reader (crowdfunding)

    The Mudita Kompact is a mobile phone designed for people who don’t want a portable distraction device in their pockets or handbags. Instead of a large color display it has a small black and white E Ink screen. And while it features an Android-based operating system, the Mudita Kompact ships without any Google apps or services: instead it comes with just a handful of simple apps for making […]

  10. Quitting the "scrollables" is totally worth it.

    I quit all the big centralized scroller apps. Yes finally even YouTube has been deleted from my phone and blocked/privacy-redirected on my laptop.

    Now I use:
    - Miniflux RSS feed
    - Curated Mastodon feed
    - Podverse podcasts
    - Freetube + Grayjay for music and video search/follow
    - Kavita ebooks

    I could reduce to just RSS but the other clients are nice to use for their respective media type.

  11. Outer Technology is fantastic, but sometimes the Inner Technology can be even greater.

    Disturbance arising within us can be transformed into our own personal mindfulness bell, to help us incorporate mindfulness into our daily lives and find freedom from mental disturbance - no app install required.

  12. A coworker told me he would rather have no documentation than bad/wrong/outdated documentation.

    Interesting concept.

    I think in many ways its better to have no information than half-true/distracting/inflammatory information. This is why I don't consume mass news media.

    Media: Keep your paywalls and nags up, they help remind me about the aforementioned.

  13. Loving the desktop app. They have now implemented playlists and which replaces clickbaity thumbnails and titles with more truthful ones.

    Highly recommend it if you are looking for a mindful and distraction-free YouTube experience.

  14. :vim: Y para este último post, he usado el plugin Goyo para no tener distracciones al escribir.

    Ojalá lo hubiera conocido antes.

  15. Today's page from the reminds me to avoid "gossip" and drama, that which distracts and consumes time and energy.

    Instead, I focus on what I truly value.

    This takes strong awareness.

    MIndfulness and awareness prevent us from being mere puppets and sheep.
