#indiewebcarnival (January 2025 edition) on the topic of ”friction” is already over!
The host @vhbelvadi wrote a nice little round-up with some of the highlights from each entry: https://vhbelvadi.com/indieweb-carnival-roundup-2025
Definitely worth checking out, it's great to read different perspectives on the topic.
And, in case you've missed it, here is my entry: https://dominikhofer.me/friction-mindfulness
@dominikhofer I think you make a good point in not handing over personal decision making. I'm all for lessening cognitive load by reducing decisions by means of habit. I'm less enamoured by heuristic 'automagik' tools. They don't know me and neither would I want them to.
@alxtrnr Exactly!
Because making a decision takes mental effort, you're also less likely to overwhelm yourself with wanting to do too much stuff IMO.
Which is a thing that would probably happen pretty frequently with these everything-planned-for-you tools.
@dominikhofer
I'm not sure I'd given thought to that point. Being run ragged, trying to keep up with productivty alerts. You're spot on.
