Did I say “only”?

Fascists are the most dangerous and frankly, alarmingly flooding the internet with their shit right now

“Magnitudes” is a borderline dangerous understatement of the difference in their output versus any other corner of political thought.

Hyper targeted advertising on the internet means you categorically will not be seeing anything close to the worst of it.

Of course it is.

Fascists can create the illusions they need to convince morons whilst at the same time making them distrust reality (“nah that’s AI”)

A lot of people are going to suffer

It does actually seem like it’s only the US for now

Unless I’ve misunderstood your comment

I like how foul language etc is halfway down the list

The best stuff at a cinema is rarely plastered all over the front, that’s just advertising for people who don’t really care about movies.

Also if your area is like mine, look for the smaller cinemas that screen the new oddities and forgotten classics

Oh yes, more of this.

I think having a healthy population is key for defense too, so I’d say NHS spending is also defense spending and should get a slice of that pie

Wha-

Well how do you leave

The shit would leak

I thought distilled water was bad for humans to consume as it leeches nutrients from you?

VScode locally, vim if I’m shelled into something

Used to use sublimetext, but roughly a decade ago VSCode ended up getting a lot of inertia, and that resulted in better plugins (at the time anyway)

I’ve used the jetbrains stuff and I do not get the hype whatsoever, it’s bloaty and cumbersome.

One of the main reasons I switched from vim as my main was ping-pong pair programming. I’m not gonna be the arsehole that tries to force a junior dev to figure out vim instead of actually working on the ticket. Still 100% my go-to in text mode though, it’s basically perfect.

Sometimes I’ll find a longform article, but those can be a bit too engaging sometimes.

I have a lot of success with reading about a topic on something like Wikipedia where if I get to the end of a page and want to continue reading, there’s loads of links to follow to related stuff.

I also am short sighted, though possibly a bit worse than you given your description. If my glasses suddenly fell off there are plenty of hazards I would potentially miss. Idiot kid about to run into the road, etc.

I think I’m more concerned about the unfortunate scenarios where:

Glasses fuck up meaning driver can only see near -> something that needs quick reactions happens to avoid someone dying -> driver is fumbling with glasses or trying to find a spare pair -> somebody dies

I don’t think I want it to be possible for someone’s glasses to die or freeze

People do dangerous things that are made safer by the fact they can see—like driving

Edit: you’ll need a prescription because the amount of focus it needs to do will be different for everyone and there isn’t a sensor to determine your eyesight

A lot of the normal sleep hygiene stuff usually results in worse sleep for me.

I need to be reading something not especially interesting and keep going until I feel like I’m about to fall asleep, then put my phone on the side table and try to catch that wave.

TV on whilst I’m trying to fall asleep is even better (I don’t have the step where I need to put my phone down) but it keeps my partner awake so I don’t get to use that option very often.

If I don’t have anything to occupy my mind, it freewheels at high speed and ultimately ends up keeping me awake.

Genuinely though, the point of YouTube premium is to get rid of the ads…

We seem to be making cable TV again where you pay a premium for the privilege of being advertised to

Looking forward to the new era of security holes caused by this

Great, now I’ve got the phonk walk in my head

blatantly easier with a gui.

There’s no such thing that I’d want to do with my servers
