Attribution has become an under-appreciated ideal in web writing. It's important that we follow up with those who's ideas "inspire" us. Specifically, I'm watching Parimal Satyal's presentation at Paris Web 2020, along with only ~130 others, while his essays felt so revolutionary to many folks, I think. (There should be way more viewers.)
If, indeed, I'm going to use Notion as a personal wiki, perhaps I should start publishing pages explaining my ideas. (e.g. "Post-Privacy")
In terms of development projects, I should endeavor to create a script/application that tracks my overused terms. Can I do this with Python?
I wish there existed enough of a business incentive to foster a publication that'd act as a sort of buffer between shit like The Linux Journal and the "average person" who's been trained to avoid any conversations involving "open source" much as I have been trained to immediately dismiss anything that mentions cryptocurrency. You could say mainstream tech media should function here, but there is a distinct drought in their coverage when it comes to nonprofit/not-for-profit endeavors. Counterargument: it is not necessarily the role of tech media to amplify solutions, just to critique.
Develop a browser extension that blocks all AWS. ⭐
Am I crazy, or did the iOS App Store used to have a wishlist feature?
A volunteer service/phone chat line for lonely seniors isolated because of COVID right now. (I'm sure this already exists in some form.) I suppose it's a bit exploitive, but you could probably create an interesting podcast out of this.
A vertical second display for writing - "portrait orientation," as it's now called, would seem to be more ideal for writing. Is anyone else concurring?

I probably should have been more specific in this poll's prompt, but I am specifically asking: have you ever spotted a QR code in the wild, whipped out your phone, remembered the Camera app's support for QR codes, and been naturally linked to something of genuine value?
The likelihood of this happening for "most people" seems slim to nill to me, yet QR codes are still everywhere.
From my perspective, the major obstacle is that a connection has never been consciously established between that little square barcode thing and the phone in my pocket. Nothing about a QR code's appearance communicates how it is used.
Outline the basic curriculum for a core competency in computing class that I’ll probably never teach.
Surely, there must be a categorical term to describe those hanging wall decorations that are scripted text like "Live, Laugh, Love." It was easy to poke fun of these as an adolescent, but I think the concept of displaying fundamental ideas to reinforce it a very promising one, they just need to be more specific. Ex: Take your time.
On first glance, r/farming seems lit as fuck. I don't know why it hasn't occurred to me to look for ag-related subreddits until now.
Relating to Indulging Once More in Digital Excess`, I am commonly beset with the compulsion to give my PC a task to work on while I go eat, or to work on overnight while I sleep. Every time, I'm unable to come up with any justifiable endeavor to give it, considering how quickly it would accomplish almost anything. With my home network pushing some 400+mbps down and 50+mbps up, I could upload and download my whole archive of raw video (if I had it, which I don't) in a single night - several times, I'm sure. I suppose rendering a really long video with lots of unprerendered graphics, color corrections, and effects in Premiere Pro is probably my best bet. And yet how wasteful is this thought, even?!
In contrast to this waste: if I were to go back entirely to writing everything in Markdown only and entrust snap.as with all of my image storage, I'd basically never need any harddrive space again. I suppose this is always good to have as a backup in case I end up homeless and computerless. (Because being more efficient for the planet's sake would just be too much.)
