Just because I have the energy to work 12 hours a day on a project doesn't mean I should.

Actually I feel I should... My productivity at works comes and goes in phases, I have to make up for it in productive weeks if I don't want to get fired.

Brave Search is awful for non-English results. Startpage is decent but only because it's basically Google results.

Reddit and Lemmy? In one app?

I still have my old games case. I sometimes browse through it just for the nostalgia. Even just looking at the discs brings memories.

StartPage also blocks VPN usage.

Ancedotal but Startpage works perfectly fine with VPN for me. Certainly better than Google, which works but requires a lot of annoying captchas.

I don't get it...

The reason I feel this way is because I don't think most media has my interests in mind. They have hidden motives, whether it's advertising or political messaging.

No problem! Let me know if you have questions. Docker was new to me a few years ago, now I work with it professionally.

People don't tend to keep phones for more than few years. On the other hand, I have LCD computer monitors that I still use over a decade later.

What really kills OLED displays is persistent static elements. These are common for desktop usage: persistent taskbar/dock, desktop wallpaper, window buttons, tiling, GUI elements and HUDs in gaming. All of these things significantly increase the chance of getting burn-in within a few years.

OLED fanatics suggest it's all user fault, that people should just use a solid black background for their desktop wallpaper (ugly), have a auto-hiding taskbar (inconvenient) and limit time spent on programs/games (really). Basically rather than using the computer the way you want, you have to carefully handle it like an egg. An expensive egg at that, since OLED displays are still ridiculously overpriced (often costing more than equivalent TVs).

Yeah and I imagine these book clubs don't meet particularly late.
