  • Hey Hey! What a fantastic idea, I sure hope you can manage!

    I was immediately wondering why you wouldn’t hop on projects already out there. For example: I recently ditched google Keep // Trello for Joplin, which i think already ticks alot of your boxes, even Async collab should work (but not realtime, and you’d have to manually resolve conflicts). Maybe adding better collab in Joplin is a more efficient way to spend your time? LibreOffice also has Async collab, since I think about 6 months, so while it might be young, it will grow, and might also benefit from another person putting their time towards it.

    Whatever you choose to do, I’ll be super interested to see the results.










  • We have it half way in between in NL: If you don’t opt out of organ donation, they will register: “Did not object to donation”. Without a definite yes, close family could still opt you out (after you lose the ability to share your thoughts) if they feel strongly against donating. With a definite yes, that option is also no longer available.

    I think the full “opt-out” way should be fine too, if you really feel strongly against sharing working organs, you have the option to not do it, so no one is forced to do anything, and with opt-out the amount of organs available will be much larger, saving lives.




  • This, ask questions, listen to the answers. If the personalities are so very different, I would make sure that i bring an extra dose of patience and chill, so that any moments where the personalities might ‘clash’ or find each other can be passed with respect and empathy, instead of frustration and emotion.

    If I need more ‘connection power’, I will omit any negative comments that might float up my brain and keep them for myself for a while, and only focus on sharing my positive or neutral (philosophical?) thoughts about the current subject. Hope you can find some points to connect, but taking this kind of step to help that along is already a great sign :-). If you could update us in a while, I would love that.

    EDIT I saw a list of his hobbies you shared, that opens up the convo a lot!

    Minecraft, baking and cooking would be my focus, because all of that can be co-op :-) and it aligns with my interests. You could start a Minecraft world together, so he can show you how it works. You could bake a cake together, or bake your own cake and then ask for tips on how to improve? Ask him what is his fav dish to cook and try to make a very good version of it together?
