i love cables, cables are the best thing, give me snakey boy, give me wired headphones, give me wired keyboard and mice

so we sleep in cycles, usually a one full sleep cycle is about 90min. it starts with light sleep, and goes into deep sleep, then back to light sleep, repeat. deeper sleep begins around ~30min in.

if you wake up from light sleep you’ll feel more refreshed

if you wake up in the middle of deep sleep, you’ll need to do all that body booting up when already awake, and it certainly doesn’t feel refreshing

(that’s why a 15min nap can breathe new life into you, but a 40min nap will leave you more tired)

it’s best to aim your sleeping schedule to include sleep in the increments of around 90min, proper night of sleep should have you go through 4-6 cycles (6h, 7,5h, or 9h).

the 90min is just an average though, listen to your body and see how things work for you. for me personally, around 7h or 7,5h works perfectly

we must be living in different civilisations then. all i’m hearing is “climate crisis faster than expected”

i mean… i hope good things will happen, but yeah i don’t expect them to. especially when we look at the climate crisis, we’re probably one of the last generations that’ll remember the world when it was relatively normal

i just hope i die before the whole planet is forced to ration drinking water

congratulations to Black Mirror’s Be Right Back for graduating from sci-fi to documentary!

i thought it was about some yokai who would then haunt that boy forever or something

hey give me those all rounder offers, all i’m seeing is “we’re looking for a specialist in marketing in tiktok comments who speaking C2, B1, and A1 in Latin, Ancient Egyptian, and Mayan respectively. 5 years of experience required”

they flipped a yacht

i used opera for around 13 years. i knew about the flaws but i was simply used to it, and as long as adblock worked i couldn’t be bothered to switch to anything else

then my laptop broke and only that happening gave me the incentive to install something else, i was starting from (close to) scratch anyway

it’ll take a lot of effort for people to abandon what they know, even if they’ll be moving towards something better

i use Zen now :) it’s nice

would this be okay?

the physical places that house AI are destroying communities and environments

the AI is being trained on stolen works of artists, writers, and honestly everything that exists online

AI when it works damages critical thinking, and uses human psychology against us

yeah i’m not excited about AI either, i used to be. but seeing the reality of what’s going on just makes me sad about how - what could’ve been a wonderful tool, and potentially, one day, even a sapient companion to humanity - it’s being used

Must a child dream of historical accuracy?

is such an amazing quote, well written

good actions for wrong reasons are… still good actions. you want to hire black actors to pander to minorities? sure, it’ll still help a little child imagine themselves as the hero, and help the actor show their skill. you want to hire a sensitivity consultant because it’ll look good in the credits? please do, at best they’ll really help, at worst they’ll get a free paycheque.

and if a race swapped character acts the same way as they did before? well alright, as long as it’s not completely nonsensical. obviously there are social and cultural differences but the world is vast, plenty of personalities out there.

we become what we do. this inclusiveness might be caused by pandering today, but because it’s being done at all, tomorrow it’ll be the norm

not the best way forward, but better than not moving at all

thank you! :)

could you provide a source for all that? it sounds correct, but i never heard that side of the story before so i’d like to know more

i transitioned, my 14 year old self would cry from joy

how does what that person said imply that?

it’s a neurodivergence, literally being weird differently

sometimes it’s mostly good, sometimes it’s mostly bad, sometimes it’s balanced

nuh-uh

that video was posted like, 10 years ago at most, and you can’t convice me otherwise

that’s honestly a huge vibe when done in moderation

doing this rn, felt like shit earlier today, but also felt good? because i know i can just, stop, and go back into the rhythm of functional life. i’ve got the map now, i know what to do
