![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have twice promised myself I’d delete my last.fm account and break free. I have an unhealthy interest in meticulously tracking my listening habits, so I hate to let a listen go uncounted. Simplify: Tells last.fm what music I’m listening to on Spotify and iTunes. Spotify is social, but Apple Music integrates better with the music I actually own. Spotify: I subscribe to Apple Music and Spotify, which is stupid but has its uses. ![]() And since almost all my emails are external communication, I don’t have to mentally switch back and forth as often between talking to readers and sources, and talking to my colleagues. There are downsides to a perpetual work chatroom, but it’s still so much better than long email threads. Slack: This is what Lifehacker uses instead of email. ( Giphy is normie trash.) Plus I can work from home or even check a file from my phone if I have to.ġPassword: I hate logging into everything on a new computer, especially with two-factor. I use selective sync to grab my Lifehacker folder and a couple other useful folders, like the one with my reaction GIFs. Thankfully Chrome automatically syncs all my extensions, so that’s one thing I don’t have to redo.ĭropbox: I can’t imagine trusting a computer to hold the only copy of my files. Firefox is looking more attractive again, but I rely on a lot of Chrome extensions, especially Workona. Maybe they’ll help you too.Ĭhrome: I only use Safari to test things. Or to put it more optimistically, these apps make me way more productive. I can do without some apps for weeks or months, but I rely on a remarkable number just to function normally. Now I am deep in my years, my back aches from sitting, and setting up a new computer is a slog. In the springtime of my youth, I reveled in the setup of a fresh computer, installing programs into the bare OS like I was laying out the shining city of Brasilia. ![]()
