  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • My favorite personal fuck up was when I accidentally locked myself (and literally everyone else in the company) out of the CRM I was working on by disabling the login pages and enabling SSO before I had finished setting up the SSO inside the CRM's config, and it logged me out as part of the procedure. Whoops.

  • My biggest use case has been in data formatting. "Here's a big list of numbers, output it back to me as (String) (Number) (String) (break) (Number)" stuff like that. Before AI I made a little python program to do stuff like that for me but I lost it on my old work computer pre-COVID and never whipped one up again. Writing it out now, I should do that again lol.

  • Age Verification Is A Windfall for Big Tech—And A Death Sentence For Smaller Platforms

  • Oh, I know. No preaching required. I'm from pre-internet days. That's why I agree with you. Being this dependent on the internet is not good for me or anyone else.

  • Second everything you said, good god. If I ask HR a question I'm lucky to hear back in a week if at all. They ask us to sign shit, I sign it, they ask me to sign the same shit I signed because nobody checked their inbox for my reply.
