Perhaps a bit. But I agree with your sentiment besides that. Hopefully we won’t have “the year of the Linux Desktop” as some sort of hard ambition, where we will reach a point where every OS just conforms and converges to the same paradigms, like we basically have on our phones by now.

I’ve heard Guix is better.

They’re still doing something bad: changing the status quo.

I’ll be the nitpicker and point out that changing the status quo doesn’t necessarily need to be a bad thing. Every good thing ever has basically been a change from the status quo. 🤷‍♂️

Anywhere to watch the whole series?

That door opening lever looks sexy though

Broken in what way? I only used it a short while years ago and didn’t notice anything.

Using Niri now on an AMD GPU with great success, it’s working great. Using it for work, gaming, everything I did with i3 and Hyprland before it.

Ah, thanks for the rundown!

I do not get Nazi content lol. Sometimes I’ll see some right wing shit on there but I just go in and press “don’t recommend this channel” on all those before even watching it. It’s been a long time now since I’ve seen a recommendation that doesn’t suit me.

But yeah, not everyone can control YouTube, or themselves, like I can. All I’m saying is that I like shorts. I do agree that they can be dangerous. 😅

Ah, some kind of frequency timing modulation fiddler thingy I guess? I don’t know if you can tell I’m not in the field of electronics… 😎

This is before even my time, what does this do?

Honestly, I don’t want to go into details. I didn’t create and post this meme to get help or tips

Perfectly understandable, although I’m not trying to give help or tips. (I can’t, I know nothing about this disorder. 😓) I was trying to understand it better. But yeah, totally fine, let’s not get into it if you don’t feel like it. 👌

I’m glad you shared what you did so far. I learned about this issue today, so that was something you gave to me, so thank you for that.

Have a better 2026 than 2025!

I agree with everything you said, to some degree. I’m just saying that shorts on my account are great, because I’ve honed my algorithm over many years so that it only gives me relevant stuff. I never see anything I don’t want to see, basically. My Watch Later list overfloweth. 😅

the fact that no useful information can fit in that short a video.

Have to disagree with the notion that this is a fact. I watch informative and interesting shorts all the time. Plenty out there if you have the right subscriptions and are careful with how you use the service.

E.g. you must never scroll shorts. Watch the ones you want to see, then back out, so you never see anything that pollutes your account history.

If you see something you don’t like, put a negative vote on it, maybe even click “don’t see this account again” or whatever it’s called. And vice versa, upvote and subscribe to stuff you like.

It requires some effort but for me it’s worth the interesting content.

This is the key. I never scroll shorts. I only click deliberately on the ones I know I want to see. Then back out. This way there is little to no pollution.

🫤 Sorry to hear that, friend.

So like, is water actually unpleasant to drink for you, or can you drink it but you’d rather have the sugar stuff? Wondering about how you phrased it as “boring”.

Other stuff I’m curious about, to educate myself:

1. What stage of life are you in, like past your 20s? Midlife? Retirement?
2. What part of the world do you live in? Cardinal direction of continent perhaps?

Share whatever parts you feel comfortable with! 😁

Sounds like a pain the ass. How are you holding up through it?

I can imagine, I would not want that job if I could choose. Luckily for me, I can.

You would think someone with ARFID would want to gain weight. Or am I misunderstanding what symptoms are associated with that?

People seem to like to call people transphobic nowadays I guess. I had some nut job here on Lemmy calling me transphobic despite no evidence of it. They followed me around on my previous comments calling me a transphobe. I asked them to post screenshots for everyone to see the evidence. Multiple times. I said I would apologize for anything that could be misconstrued as transphobic, and try to make it clearer what I actually meant to say. No reply.

People are just weird sometimes. Maybe they don’t know what the words mean that they use. Ignore it, is my advice.

I like my wife to be smooth on her legs, and semi smooth downstairs. She likes herself fully smooth though.

I even like myself smooth, but my wife doesn’t want me fully smooth.

It’s all just preference. 🤷‍♂️ Nothing to do with gender at all, in our case.

Huh. I love shorts. I have a curated YouTube account that shows me very interesting shorts about science, music, gaming, comedy, PC building, web development, tech news, etc etc. I wonder why people don’t like shorts. Using YouTube without being logged in?
