I suppose they technically could overlay more ads, but they've already had mobile apps, Chrome and Chrome OS for decades and have never gone that far for obvious reasons.
Strongly agree with this. Many authors and video creators have interesting, valuable things to say, but they don't exercise restraint or respect for their audience's time.
If something is overwhelmingly long, especially considering the subject matter, I just skip to the comments or throw it in an LLM to summarize.
I agree whole heartedly. It seems clear to me that art and knowledge will transition to more private and/or undocumented experiences in the coming years in order to preserve their value.
I did the same, but I'm still holding on to Reddit with many restrictions:
- No mobile apps
- 10 min/day time limit on web
- Only browse 6 subreddits individually
- Filtering all posts below a certain karma level (depending on the subreddit)
- Collapsing all comments by default
This has completely changed my relationship with the platform for the better. I would quit it entirely, but unfortunately it's the best news source for a few of my hobbies.
Yup. The steps are definitely rooted in Christianity, but you can exercise them however you want. As you might imagine, most people suffering with addiction are not that religious (if at all) and the same thing goes in those groups.
There's a noticeable difference to me between exercising my thinking skills and feeling mentally exhausted versus consuming lots of media and feeling "hungover".
I get that exhausted feeling after any hard day at work. On the other hand, scrolling through reels for about 30 minutes gives me a headache. If I spend over an hour on YouTube, I also get a similar feeling, but only if that time was spent watching many different videos. If I watched one 2 hour video, I feel fine.
I'm looking around and I don't see anyone mentioning what I think is one of the biggest advantages of debugging: not having to recompile.
Even assuming print statements and debuggers are equally effective (they're not), debuggers are better simply because they are faster. With print statements, you might need to recompile a dozen times before you find whatever it is you're looking for. Even with quick builds this is infuriating and a ton of wasted time.
Mozilla should be more focused on figuring out how to actually make money and not this sensationalist stuff. Depending on how the Google case lands, they're finished.
I don't know what country you're in, but I'm almost certain people your age are not meeting each other on Instagram. It is not really a platform to meet anyone, especially not in the last 5 years. Joining communities (clubs, churches, etc) are the way to meet new people.
Blocking social media on my networks has made this so evident. There's SO much news and information silo'd off on just a handful of platforms it's insane.
I haven't blocked Reddit yet, but I feel that would basically set me back to the stone ages.
As someone who runs into this problem a lot, this is pretty cool! Does anyone know how they can recover from this in SQLite?
