  • Never noticed/thought about this, is Lady having coffee out of that saucer?

  • A lot of people can get used to it. I actually can't sleep without it now, and I use the full face model. It's almost comforting now. That said, some people truly cannot get used to a full face mask. If it's an option, they do make nasal masks (only covers your nose) and nasal pillows (kind of just rests under your nose.)

    I've heard there are even more cutting edge options out there but I never looked into them since I'm fine with what I have, but it's definitely worth doing some research about. Quality sleep really can be life changing if it's achievable.

  • This is by design; it's difficult to demonize "the others" if you have even a drop of compassion.

  • How to keep avoiding Google when it hamstrings Freetube [Linux]

    Jump

  • Very thought out write-up! I generally use Freetube, as I'm primarily a desktop user, but since it's been down, I learned how to use yt-dlp, and picked up some GUIs that sit on it to try out. It's been a little surreal watching everything as a self contained file, but almost nostalgic in a way too.

    That said, I look forward to when things get patched up on the Freetube front.

  • Is there anything you're into that no one or basically nobody is into?

  • I remember MUDs! I played Achaea!

  • When I was a young teen, I loved collecting MIDIs because I didn't have a good way of getting music in other formats--I still had dial up, and didn't know about other methods. Plus I mostly enjoyed songs from video games. There was one I found that had a very enchanting melody and I loved it to death. Kept it on its own special floppy disk. Inevitably, it got lost and I never could remember the name of the song or what game it came from. I did search but not knowing either of those things, and it being only a melody with no lyrics, made it difficult to find. Then, one day, while listening on Spotify, it just magically appeared.

  • Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed

    Jump

  • Between that, this, and Disney+ cancellation page "accidentally" going down during that fiasco, this is exactly why I've switched to using only virtual cards for subscriptions. Pause/Cancel the virtual card, voila, no more subscription.

  • More for folks from walkable environments, my question is: would you walk an hour and 15 minutes to go to say, the library?

    Jump

  • Heck I live in a moderately sized town and the library is a 10-15 minute walk away.

    What's your favourite niche website that is still running and hasn't changed much in 20~ or so years?

  • She made good choices

  • This feels like a Brian Morabito short haha.

  • Open Source Infrastructure is Breaking Down Due to Corporate Freeloading

    Jump

  • Anecdotally, I only keep services that require an account to get past the landing page on my VPS. (I'm very new to self hosting and haven't figured out ways to stop bots/scrapers yet.) So I think if nothing else, that's a pretty easy starting point.

  • Efficiency!

    Jump

  • Can confirm. On the flip side, I did get an interview once, and I asked them why they reached out to me and it was because of some random part time job I held struck their fancy. All things being equal, there is no reason why you get an interview or not, it's no different than a slot machine.

  • Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say

    Jump

  • Didn't IHOP do something similar by claiming that they were going to change their name to IHOB?

    "IHOb also issued a press release about the change and still used the original "IHOP" in its footer, suggesting the switch was a temporary promotion."

    Seems so. Source.

  • Peter Thiel: strict AI regulation will summon the Antichrist

    Jump

  • Right? Bold move threatening a death cult with a good time.

  • It's just like Karma farming

    Jump

  • I've tried suggesting Peertube to a creator before, the rebuttal was that it'd be too much work/too hard to uproot and move everything over.

  • Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened

    Jump

  • Well, this abstract says it's about 20% effective over not advertising but this is a meta analysis and isn't focused exclusively on internet ads.

    The baked in biases being that the authors are "a German chaired professor of marketing at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany" and his research assistant.

  • Google just broke all third-party YT clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required.

  • Android only? Desktop client stopped working last night. Did you do anything special?
