Same. I think i could have enjoyed the gameplay but the horror aspect and overall vibe was too offputting.

I think a big part of it is that a lot of people stream on their phones. For a lot of those people, their phone is the only computer they have. So quality is less of a concern than availability. I'm all for the Arr stack, personally, but I can see how streaming has more appeal for a lot of folks.

I love Obsidian. It blows away every other notes app I've used. I use it seemlessly across Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac devices. It's as customizable as you want it to be, even if that means "not at all".

I've set mine up with all kinds of templates and automation to populate and organize my daily notes, notes on books I've read, notes about people I meet, project notes, the list goes on and on...

And if I ever decide not to use Obsidian any more, all of the notes are stored as markdown files on my device(s). So I don't lose anything. Not even the formatting. Just make sure to back up your vault, in case you lose the device itself.

I like the flavor and texture of an unpeeled carrot.

I see your point. I have no illusions that democracy is healthy in modern times. Perhaps not ever? We don't even live in a democracy any more, we live in a corporatocracy.

But doing nothing will solve nothing.

edited to add: In fact, it's our complacency that our corporate masters depend on. Corporate news is designed to overwhelm you. Advertising is designed to lull you to sleep. Together, they make it seem like there's nothing you can do. But that's not true. You can do something. Maybe not the things I suggested, but something. It will make a difference, even if it only makes a small difference for a few people. Isn't that better than nothing?

If you don't want to be tracked illegally, don't bring your phone.

If you don't want any to be tracked legally, write/call/tweet/visit your representatives.

They'll likely rely on reports from the public. I don't imagine this is intended to go after individuals, but rather,, companies that buy fake reviews by the hundreds.

Which brings us back to the real, underlying, problems with the prevalent model: greed and the concentration of wealth.

A Kroger spokesperson said in a statement that the company’s business model is built on a “foundation of lowering prices to attract more customers.” “To be clear, Kroger does not and has never engaged in ‘surge pricing,’” the statement said. “Any test of electronic shelf tags is designed to lower prices for more customers where it matters most.”

I know these PR people get paid a lot to tell bald-faced lies, but I just don't understand how they live with themselves.

Well put.

Soon, it won't be this idiotic hype cycle, but it'll be some other idiotic hype cycle. Short term investors love hype cycles.

 

This seems to be random. These are communities on the instance I'm logged into. AFAICT I'm not being blocked in these communities. I'm not even sure if mods *can *block someone from seeing a community. I'm guessing this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a thread on it.

In the winter, I spend more time with sinus infections than without. I feel like I've tried everything, but relief is temporary at best.

edit: Thanks for the tips everyone. Upvotes all around! Some of these suggestions I've tried, others are new to me. I'm going to give them all a shot. Looking forward to breathing again!
