Are You An Internet Addict?

[usonian]

3. The internet's a mine field for infovores (but the mines are pinatas)

I made a living with electronic and optical engineering, and then computing.

This is the vision of paradise I had as a youngster.

I really try to streamline things. Hacker News is a real cornucopia of those things I like.

So, I skim for interesting items, quickly apply "reader" mode and save to PDF.

If it's *REALLY* interesting, I actually read the article, and forward to friends and/or post here.

But, like skimming DU instead of the hundred or so sites that are curated here, what I read is pre-moderated.

There was a post on Hacker News berating Apple's iPadOS software.
Before I could reply, it just vanished.

So, for me, I curate items already curated.
Sharing is my way to make this addiction of sorts beneficial, and I have gotten thanks for some gems that I've unearthed.

The pre-curation is pretty good, though I have a very long trash list for DU articles.

Informative or fun, just like me.
