  • 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.

  • I think it did but after I went back to check on the shop recently (someone posted a link to it during the early days of everything), Etsy took the shop down.

  • Beep boop, newsletter ingested. Thank you admin for this tasty data meal.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • This feels like a Brian Morabito short haha.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

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