Lots of people are suggesting Apple’s own Reminders app, so perhaps it’s worth explaining why it doesn’t work for me.
I use Reminders all the time as a grocery list, and I find the UI reasonable for that. However, for tasks, I find it confusing and noisy (I prefer Todoist), and I don’t think it’s actually very good at reminding me to do things. It tries once, and gives up until the next day! A strange behaviour, for an app named “Reminders”.

Earlier this semester I joined "Remnants of Resistance," a podcast by colleagues in CSUN's library and Queer Studies faculty, to talk genetics and queer identity

In general, the difference between a “to do list” and a “habit reminder” is the latter should remind you several times, almost annoyingly so, because if we need a reminder for a habit, it means we have not formed the habit yet, and therefore we are bad at getting around to doing it.
At least, my squiggly and chaotic brain believes so.

“La Friche”, coécrit avec Marc Mahé Petska
J’ai toujours rêvé d’écrire quatre mains (sans superpouvoir ni mutation), et la rencontre avec Marc, d’abord ses poèmes sur Twitter, puis tout particulièrement de Cyberpunk is dead, baby ne pouvait que réactiver cette envie. La nouvelle La Friche en est issue – après une longue gestation (six ans, autant dire que ça remonte Š une autre vie), mais un travail moins long qu’un peu trop ambitieux au départ et surtout intermittent,…

To all my fellow Arch users, I was once again reminded that putting anything in `/etc/environment` is a bad idea. Don't do it.
I put `GTK_USE_PORTAL=1` in there, because I always want native file dialogs, right? Well, turns out this breaks secret service integration (KDE Wallet/GNOME Keyring) in Fractal. So, back to setting it on a per-app basis.

"Wie ich allen nur raten kann, jemand füreinander zu sein, wenn man das will, solange man noch die Möglichkeit hat."

The rise of student reliance on #AI to write for them reminds me of this quote, and how we're seeing it play out in real time:
“If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them.” - George Orwell

@… That’s cool, I should definitely try Things. I was put off by the Apple-only-ness but that’s for task tracking, which I need in general, but I think I’d be fine with it for daily reminders.
