RSS Feed was a godsend for me, because it finally relieved me of the chore of visiting a webpage of news site to look for latest news.

Agree on the hostile UX of news sites. The experience is worsened extensively when viewing on mobile.

I was indeed getting the vibes of reading this article. Setting aside the topic of the website, I enjoy reading articles explaining stuff with this type of humour. Sadly I wouldn't be able to ask ChatGPT to write me one that would leave me with the same satisfaction as this one.

Apart from Youtube, I haven't encountered any website force autoplaying videos. Maybe that's because of the filter list set in my adblock.

That includes sites which use animated gifs in order to simulate playing a silent video, to trick you into clicking on it.

Now that's just dirty play.

Unfortunately I am unable to grasp what the attached image is trying to insinuate. Could you provide some context?

I was intrigued by the existence of a Vim based application for browsing, but not surprised.

How would I come about ensuring compatibility for websites with multiple interactive elements for viewing in Vimium? Do I install and test the website on Vimium during development too?

All of your points are valid, in fact I've personally had the same opinions for points 2, 3, 5 and 6 for a while. I wish I could upvote for each of your points

Easily the best website I've seen since 2024.

Poor people have it.

Rich people need it.

If you eat it, you die.

What is it?

I don't really read literature often, but out of the few I did read, 'A Man called Ove' was one I really enjoyed. The one book I enjoyed even more than this was 'Wonder' by R. J. Palacio. It has an interesting style of storytelling and I could argue it to be even more touching, which is why it is my all-time favourite.

It was surprising yet joyous to see someone having read the exact same book as I in this space. I couldn't imagine giving anyone book suggestions anytime soon considering how little books I have read myself, but finally having the opportunity to do so has really lifted my mood today. Thank you kind stranger for making my day.

If Sid from Toy Story went to a Fine Arts school

 

I want to introduce some of my friends to Minecraft. They have never heard of it before and I am having trouble explaining them from the beginning since the scope of the game is very vast.

I want to give them a preview of the game before they start playing themselves, so I would prefer a video explaining the same. I tried to search for it on YouTube but I could personally find no video that could explain the premise and potential of the game from scratch. I tried to explain them via playing the game on my device too but that was of no meaningful help either since I have no personal worlds or builds to show.

Could someone please help me recommend some useful resource for this matter? I am sure they will come to love it once they get to properly understand it.

 

I recently learned about LocalSend and was intrigued by how it functioned by only using the WiFi network of the devices. I did not know my LAN had these capabilities.

Now that I've learned about it, I am excited to know if there is anything else I can do with it. Perhaps there could be a way to send prank notifications to all the connected devices, create a private chat room, or have custom LAN parties.

I genuinely do not know anything about how WiFi or LAN in general works in this matter. Is it possible for me to build my own applications that make use of these features? If so, I would love to get a direction on what resources or guides I should be looking for. If not, I would still be happy to use similar pre-built applications.

I think the use of this meme format already counts as one

I haven't used Photoshop in my Windows machine for a while. I only used it to do occasional stuff to my photos that simple photo editors cannot do.

When I opened the app, I was greeted with a banner and a dialogue box stating "this Adobe app is non-genuine and will be disabled soon". (Both were written in Japanese though the original app's language is set to English. I think it has something to do with my VPN.) I couldn't figure what the buttons said but one seems to redirect me to an Adobe subscription page and the other simply closes the app.

I don't have experience pirating stuff like this. I got help from another friend long ago in downloading the whole suite of Adobe products from what I think is a Russian source. I am pretty sure they told me to set up firewall restrictions for the app as well, and I haven't touched the installer or anything similar since then. I don't know if there is something I can do about this or if I should download an 'updated version' of the app from some other source.

As a Linux newbie, all I know about Arch Linux is that it is a DIY distro where you assemble the entirely of the OS by scratch. Somehow it feels like it is too easy than it needs to be, even if it is primarily meant for experienced users. I imagine it to be less like building your PC from parts bought from the market and more like building each and every component of the PC by scratch along with building the PC, which I assume to be much harder for the average consumer. It seems absurd how it is possible for a single person to incorporate the innumerable components required for functionality in a personal system that does not crash 100% of the time due to countless incompatibility errors that come with doing something like this.

I would like someone to elaborate on how it feels to 'build' a system software by yourself with Arch and how it is reasonable to actually do so in a simple language. I do have some experience in programming, mainly in webdev, so it's not like I need a baby-like explanation in how this works but it would be nice to get to know about this from someone who could understand where this confusion/curiosity is coming from.

What if I am just imagining the high pitch sound in my mind whenever I hear about or think of tinnitus just like how someone tells you to imagine a whale and you form a mental image of a whale? I don't pay attention to the noise while I'm busy doing stuff but once I think about it, it is as hard to stop noticing it similar to being told to breathe manually, and it gets very annoying after some time. Is it what tinnitus really is?
