Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at focuscontrol only encouraged more exploration, the kind of place where one click leads to another not through manipulative design but through genuinely interesting content is rare and worth highlighting when found like this somewhere on the open internet.
Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at focuscontrol extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.
