"Bloody Just Stop Oil protesters blocking the road, preventing me to go to work just so they can spread the message that we're all going to die! I HAVE A MORTGAGE!"

That's actually really cool. I like that the dev has expressed that he doesn't want to make the algorithm addictive and just keep it random 😅

Most comments with links are straight up deleted from YT comments. Moderation has gotten pretty strict there since covid.

I began using SMPlayer, which uses MPV, and yeah, it was confusing having to mess around in %localappdata%. But unironically, having to do so kinda prepared me for the switch to linux, what with getting used to using the filesystem.

Unironically the YT algorithm that pushed me into videos that eventually made me get diagnosed by a professional.

You watch one video about old people reacting to rage against the machine and suddenly all the recommended videos are by "reactors" that make $50k a month doing nothing but watching movies with their mouth open

~72 hours. I think I went beyond that, but gave up because there's diminishing returns for fasting that long, that is, your body starts shutting down in a way that eating again after that period can be dangerous if not done very slowly with like bone broth or whatever.
Mind you, it's not easy fasting what with it being impossible not to flush out electrolytes, so making sure you get enough salt, magnesium and potassium supplements is a must. Obviously, other vitamin supplements doesn't hurt. The only dangerous one is potassium, so make sure the dosage is right. Oh, and there ought to be enough calcium in the tablets alone if you take vitamins daily and depending on where you live, if the water is hard enough (like here in Denmark), that's another source.

That's not a bad shout at all. It does hide æøå on weird keys though, would take a lot of practice to get used to that, but I'll definitely put that layout into the layout rotation, thanks for the suggestion.

The alt gr + ß is probably the same for nordic keyboards, the one below A. It's <>\ for me, but afaik both < and > are also individual keys on a US keyboard. And then there's ~. But I guess you get used to dead keys.

A friend of mine, back when we got stoned a lot, had an idea that language, or words, are magic. Stringing together incantations to share thoughts is a neat way of thinking about it. Especially because we're just jello trapped in a mecha made of bone and meat. It's surprising there's not more hallucinations to be honest.

Shift+7 feels wrong for some reason, so I currently tend to just send my pinky on a kamikaze mission towards the numpad hoping I hit /. Sometimes I hit numlock, sometimes I hit *.
Even if I made a compose key "shortcut" via ~/.XCompose it'd still be more work than what I'm doing already.

Macro pad could be a solution, I have considered it beforehand for other purposes tbh

If you know what a nordic keyboard layout looks like, you'd probably prefer backslash. Since I moved to Linux a year ago I've been struggling to find the easiest way to forward slash. Shift + 7? Or numpad / with my right pinky?
