A Twitter thread from a few weeks back from Jeremy Burge is giving us even more reason to not use Facebook. It's a long thread, but worth it if you're concerned about this sort of thing.
"Login-with-Phone-Number is the new Login-with-Facebook. Easy to track, shared between services, it's the key to invisible mesh of your data. Don't do it."
But if you want to avoid using your phone number for 2-factor auth, this post might help. Assuming that still works, of course.
Now on to this week's hand-picked productivity links!
Tools & Apps
Emaildrop - A free disposable email provider that generates an address on the website or even via their GraphQL API.
The Plain Contract - An easy to customize template for a freelance contract.
JournalBook - A private, offline-first personal journal. Your notes are only stored on your device, never sent to a server.
Textstandup - Progress communication app for teams for use during daily meetings (i.e. stand-ups).
MiDrive - A private cloud storage solution that brings the ease and utility of Dropbox to Amazon S3.
What I Learned from Working 32 Hours a Week - I see articles like this more and more. I think everyone should consider how they can work fewer hours and have a better work/life balance.
Have a suggestion for a productivity-related tool, article, or other resource? Send me a direct message via X (@LouisLazaris) and I’ll consider including it in a future issue.
