I believe someone had asked for it and they said it was nearly impossible. You'd be able to do it in a single given app maybe, but the « download an episode by default » system, the (wonderful) variety of podcasting apps, and the variety of podcast ad services all make it nearly impossible. It's somewhere in the issues!

This extension really changed my life, or at least my fraught relationship with YouTube!

Yes, it does. It will keep suffering from the same issues as long as it encourages microblogging, and there are public upvotes and likes, and you can post links on Lemmy with a single-sentence summary that people can react to without reading the link. The Fediverse social media is built on the exact same premises as for-profit social media.

What has been done on the Fediverse is taking these systems and making them less addictive. Basically, they have all the problems of for-profit social media, but for-profit social media snowballs these problems and puts them at the core of their business model. The issue without the several layers of « making it worse because money » is not nearly as bad. But I do believe it's a « lesser evil » thing, at least for our brains and ability to interact with people.

I don't know about the author, but I'm on Linux and Android and the apps I see on Notion Calendar are for Windows and Mac for desktop and for iOS on phone.

I've tried the web client a bit when it came out but it just didn't really click for me (as in, I didn't see how it would be better than any email client that has an integrated calendar). Also, calendar web clients just don't answer the issue, in my opinion. And regular Notion is slow and clunky in my experience, so I haven't given them the benefit of the doubt on the Calendar part of their tooling. :)

Depression can worsen or mimic ADHD symptoms and it's common to tackle that first. The ADHD diagnosis is irrelevant, what matters is that your life gets better. :)

I got one! It was delicious!

Lake Bled was really beautiful, I really liked it! My heart went to Bohinj though :D

As I said, I get a certain number of books (about one third) from perusing stacks. I am generally against « over optimization » in community spaces − I enjoy serendipitous discovery, finding out things exist while I'm there and stumble upon them, and would not spend that time on a computer. I do place holds on all the other books I get :)

[-] alex@jlai.lu 2 points 7 months ago

I've checked out 38 books last year, and I'm not the only person who checks out books :) I also got a bunch of them from browsing shelves, not from looking for them specifically. Let's fight for more community spaces − if we have enough, libraries will be able to be actual libraries!

Proud of you!

The US two-party system is such an aberration to me.

Yeah, Anna's Archive bragged about doing it (and they did great).
