The Ultimate Defaults List
Assumptions
- Defaults are desktop, not mobile
- Default desktop is Linux, not Mac. (Full-time Linux, Part-time Mac)
- I will use these to distinguish ๐ง
- I will use these to distinguish ๐
- I will use these to distinguish ๐ (for Web-based things)
- Many areas will have multiple answers. This is not indecisiveness but out of utility and purpose.
I introduced a couple entries of my own:
- ๐ Invoking Things
- ๐ฑโค๏ธ Dating Apps
- ๐ฑ๐ Social Media Apps
- ๐ฑ๐ฎ Sleeping Giant Apps
- ๐ค AI Assistant
- ๐ธ Camera Shooting
The syntax is as follows:
โจ Subject
- My default
- My default ๐ฑ (If Mobile answer is different)
I have these lists in copyable formats here.
