  • Okay but YouTube suggested videos are genuinely way worse than they used to be. I can’t even fall down rabbit holes anymore. Trying to “curate” the algorithm is like swimming against the current. I can try and try to get YouTube to recommend me live music, but even when I manage to find something, the next video is going to be either a video I already watched yesterday or Rick Beato’s daily rant about the top 40. Every time.

    I used to be able to spend hours just browsing, drifting from topic to topic. Now it’s like they’re trying to trap me in a loop of their most profitable videos

    No they’re right, they literally just run and jump underwater

    Yet despite all these adaptations for life in the water, hippos can’t swim—they can’t even float! Their bodies are far too dense to float, so they move around by pushing off from the bottom of the river or simply walking along the riverbed in a slow-motion gallop, lightly touching the bottom with their toes, which are slightly webbed, like aquatic ballet dancers.

    Honestly that’s scarier to me



  • This is actually timely. I have this old Dell laptop that’s running mint for a jellyfin server, which out of nowhere lost its Internet connection. Well not actually lost, it just became really, really slow, like 100 kbps instead of the usual 100mbps. Turning the WiFi off and on again worked, but I still had to crawl out of my comfortable bed to do it. I’ve had the same thing happen on my windows devices though so idk.






  • I feel like the joke would’ve landed better if it said “first”. I know it’s pronounced the same way, but I’m gonna argue anyway that there’s a subtle difference. I’ve heard 0th used in cs to describe what was at the 0-index, so in that context 1st would be"second", but “first” generally means “nothing before it”. English is weird. I wonder if anyone knows whether the word “first” or “1st” came 1st (lol)?
