This sentence by Dostoyevsky never fails to hit hard:

“You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

“To be happy you must eliminate two things: The fear of a bad future and the memory of a bad past.”

— Seneca

Don’t cry because it’s almost over, smile because it happened. 🥲

[BuBBliK @k1rallik]

do you understand what just happened to your computer..

Google Chrome secretly downloaded a 4GB AI model onto your device. Without asking.. Without telling you..

It's called weights.bin. It lives deep in your system folders. It powers Gemini Nano - Google's on-device AI.

And if you delete it? Chrome re-downloads it automatically. Like nothing happened.

Just Google deciding your hard drive is their storage unit.

At 1 billion Chrome users - that's 4 BILLION gigabytes of data pushed silently across the internet.

The carbon footprint alone equals tens of thousands of cars running for a year.

Check your disk right now:
📁 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel

To stop it: chrome://flags → disable Optimization Guide On Device Model → restart Chrome → delete the folder.

Reshare so people know what's sitting on their computers.

5. Fundamental Attribution Error:

We judge others by their actions, but we judge ourselves by our intentions.

If someone is late, they are lazy. If you are late, it was traffic.

Extend the same grace to others that you give yourself.

[Natural Philosophy @Naturalphilosy]

“I was waiting for something extraordinary to happen, but as the years drifted past, nothing ever did unless I caused it.”

― Charles Bukowski

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Success is not about finishing everything you start. It’s about knowing when to grit and when to quit.

235 studies: When people adjust their goals and plans in the face of challenges, they make more progress—and feel less depressed and anxious.

The ultimate flex is flexibility.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

The days can be easy if the years are consistent. You can write a book or get in shape or code a piece of software in 30 minutes per day. But the key is you can't miss a bunch of days.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Purpose has seasons. What drove you through your 20s will exhaust you in your 40s.

Growth means letting your previous selves die without calling it failure.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

The only thing worse than failing at something meaningful is succeeding at something meaningless.
