That man looks like he is about to set the foundations for modern psychology in order to "scientifically" explain why he wants a mommy gf.

I just received a secondary application from University of Michigan Medical School. Looks like I know what school isn't going to receive my application.

In addition to the learning curve and the minor bugginess of Lemmy and Kbin, I feel like there may be some cognitive dissonance going on for users that are on the fence on whether they want to switch. To resolve the dissonance, one could either change their behavior (switch to Lemmy or kbin) or change their cognition (rationalize why they do not want to switch; for example by thinking that Lemmy or Kbin is too hard to use). Changing behavior can be hard especially if it is a habit built over a long period of time, so coming up with excuses for why one doesn't want to switch would be the easier thing to do.

The Pebble watches. They may not be made anymore, but they are the only smart watches I have used that felt like an actual smart watch instead of a phone for your wrist. Once mine dies, I may switch to a BangleJS.

You need to wear a ring to use it, and undead monsters hunting for the ring will instantly know where you are. It may or may not have a mind of its own convincing you to never part ways with it.

Coming soon: reddit changes its name to 𝕐, because 𝕐 not?

One browser that I think is promising for power users is Nyxt. It's designed to support multiple browser back-ends with Webkit currently supported and Blink under experimental support. Nyxt also includes out of the box support for Vim, Emacs, and CUA keybindings for keyboard-centric navigation. The fact that is can also be extended and configured with Common Lisp makes it feel like the Emacs of web browsers. The only reason I haven't switched to it yet is that it doesn't include support for WebExtensions yet, but it's a planned feature.

Reddit has already lost me as a user in the past month. I originally expected to switch using old reddit exclusively after July 1, but the blackout revealed to me just how bad reddit's content quality has gone since I first started using it after trying out lemmy and kbin. Reddit's response to the blackout and protests also showed me that they do not care about their community and that the quality will only go further downhill as the power users migrate away. Reddit was the only social media I used, and now kbin is now the only social media I use. There are still some subreddits I lurk in that have not seen activity here yet, so I still visit reddit once in a while but I only do so using RSS feed. I wish the remaining reddit protesters the best, but it appears to be a losing battle.

In some ways yes, but I think a smart watch is optimal for performing tasks quickly and and giving me information at a glance. A smart watch should feel like a dashboard on my wrist that stops me from using my phone unnecessarily. Most smart watches feel like a small second display for my phone with a worse user experience that make me want to always perform those tasks on my phone.

Navidrome is also a nice self-hosted option for music streaming. I recently cancelled my Spotify subscription in favor of hosting my own music library on it.

I don't recall any episodes explicitly about reddit. I do know that he has cited reddit posts in many segments as sources or as jokes (example).

I started off using Obsidian and really enjoyed it for a long time, but I eventually realized that I disliked needing to constantly move my hand between my mouse and keyboard to interact with the application. I still think it's a strong application that I would recommend for others with the patience to create their own workspace. Currently, I use Emacs Org Mode and Org Roam as my personal knowledge and task management software at home (I use Logseq at work because Emacs runs horribly on Windows). It doesn't have as much visual customization options as Logseq or Obsidian, but I see that as a positive since that forces any customization I want to make to be more focused on improving my productivity rather than making the interface look nicer. It also doesn't have many good mobile options, so I've been thinking about learning mobile development to try and give a crack at changing that.
