Other than these just being addictive, as they are meant to be, there can be another contributing factor - lack of continuous block of free time.

I am going to make a terrible analogy as usual.
Day, week, month, etc. are like a HDD.
In those, time for work, kids, cleaning, cooking, etc. is like data.
If you’ve got just the work, you can fit in other normal activities like reading, watching movies, going out, etc.
With more tasks throughout the day, you might still technically have enough free time, but fragmented, and that’s quite an issue. Watching a movie is best done in one go. Perhaps you can split it up to 2 halves if needed. But with many tasks, you might end up with just 10/20/30 minute breaks at a time, and then it’s not worth it to even start anything.
But short form media? You might have like 20 seconds per video. That will absolutely fit into any break.
And so that’s the only thing they might end up doing.

Uuuuh…
To be fair, I am dumb.

Huh, that’s possible, thanks.

It’s not stomach acid. Hell, you can sort of use spit as lube, I am sure it’s fine.

Because it’s “no stupid questions”.

Unfortunately I do. No way I can make enough money to live alone during college. Hell, I am extremely slow at everything, I feel like I need at least 30 hours a day and 10 days a week to do what I need to.

And then the same people go watch videos of “oddly satisfying” organized things.

I think at least some of it could be intentional. Especially if victim information isn’t leaked (because why would you do that).

Why? Isn’t there just victim info? That one should be removed if not explicitly allowed by the victim.

…at the 4 corners monument?

Just can’t think of another place for that.

It works well for recalling something you already know, whether it be computer or human language. What’s a word for… what’s a command/function that does…

Lots of people on social media hide sensitive information with 90% opacity highlighter.

I only have experience with Plasma, but on X11 when I tap on the screen, it emulates a mouse click where I tap. And it also does when I swipe my finger, like holding a clicked mouse and moving the pointer. And gestures don’t work, though I think that one can be fixed.

Wayland just works. When I want to select text, press and hold like on a phone. When scrolling something, I just swipe it like on a phone (except for LibreOffice, that one is an absolute mess on Wayland). Especially nice with drawing programs. Stylus acts just like what I described with finger on X11 - it controls mouse pointer.
In effect this means that with fingers I can move around and zoom, while with stylus I can draw or select text.

And then GTK 4.20 breaks Rnote and I can only use it via Xwayland…

Anyway, for a touchscreen device, I had more luck with Wayland.

I thought I’d be fine, that I’d buy the other 16GB stick later. Now is later, I am screwed. I had to enable the use of ALT-SysRq-f to manually invoke OOM-killer because I often run out of RAM.

8GB just feels like way too little for a new laptop. Well, maybe the absolutely cheap ones, but “mid-range”, no.

It’s crazy. A bit over a year ago I got a refurbished ThinkPad for €180 with 1x16GB of RAM. Now that RAM costs around €120.

Understandable. Have you seen how people are?

Example I found on Reddit: https://www.justice.gov/multimedia/Court Records/Matter of the Estate of Jeffrey E. Epstein, Deceased, No. ST-21-RV-00005 (V.I. Super. Ct. 2021)/2022.03.17-1 Exhibit 1.pdf

Just a black highlighter.

Sick reflection on how these groomers think they’re doing something good for these girls.

I’ve rather read that one as “full potential” in the sense of “usefulness” rather than doing anything good for them, similarly to how a child slave would reach “full potential” through increased productivity.

too dumb to transcribe it.

Me too :(

Holy hell. Black highliter, again. 3 days ago I mentioned I was able to do this with some Slovakian censored documents, and here I see it again.

Perhaps it’s intentional this time. “Oops, my bad!”

I prefer Wayland because I use a 2-in-1 ThinkPad. No thanks X11, I don’t want a click on touch mouse pointer.
