has your YouTube consumption decreased after implementing the "no history, no recommendations" feature?

I noticed my consumption has decased quite a bit. I would visit regularly to watch content from few channels. I would probably still visit every so often to watch the new videos. But the experience has become more deliberate and conscious. I go to YouTube because I want to go and watch something specific. Mindlessly browsing and...

proycon,

I’ve been using RSS feeds for youtube channels for a few years. I don’t visit the site if I can help it, I don’t login, I don’t “like & subscribe”, I don’t see any clickbait thumbnails and most important: I don’t see any ads. Just newsboat & mpv.

proycon,

Good recommendation indeed, the zones of thought are awesome. One of my all time favourites!

proycon,

I’d go for Alpine Linux in such case.

proycon,

I’ll interpret non-US a bit broader as non-English. English is hugely dominant in scifi so it’s often hard to find good books in other languages. I’d also love to hear the recommendations of others too! A few I read:

Question for software developers: how do you organize your To Do list at work?

I’m asking because I’m wondering if there’s a more efficient way for me to handle my notes at work. Currently I just use a txt file in Notepad++. I use this file to track all of the stuff I have to do, such as tasks for stories I’m working on, next steps for projects, discussions I need to follow up on, questions and...

proycon,

I’m using todo.txt, which is a basic plain text file following a simple syntax. I added various extensions to work with this: todo.txt-more, which does things like:

  • make things accessible through a simple menu (dmenu/bemenu/rofi) system.
  • time tracking functions
  • synchronisation with github issues and/or e-mail
proycon,

As a kooikerhondje owner, I approve of this post :)

proycon,

Adorable :) Enjoy the puppy phase! She’ll grow up quickly!

proycon,

I think it’s already pretty amazing we have at least three people with kooikerhondjes on lemmy :) Small steps, hopefully more will join in time.

Do you ever shorten the dog breed name? To what? Kookies?

I most often say “kooikertje” (dutch, diminuitive) or “kooiker” (which technically is wrong because that would refer to the handler rather than the dog, but it’ll have to do :)

proycon,

Let's not downvote the poor guy just because we lost him to Apple. The comment is on topic and people are allowed to make different choices/mistakes 😉

proycon,

I'm not much of a distro-hopper. I think I've been on just four distros on my daily-driving desktop & laptop since about 1999:

  • RedHat (around 1999, starting with 6.0)
  • Mandrake (around 2001?)
  • Ubuntu (around 2006)
  • Arch Linux (around 2012 - today), and no intention to hop. In fact, I recently bought a new PC and installed Arch again. On the previous machine, I installed it once and it rolled nicely its entire lifetime.

My personal server has been running Ubuntu LTS for ages, I might have run debian a long time ago, but I'm not sure anymore. Nowadays I run a container setup, and those are running on Alpine Linux.

The more kooikerhondjes the better! :)

A pinephone with postmarketOS and sxmo

proycon,

I can definitely see where you're coming from and I have similar experiences. I got fairly fed up with the fact that the modem often doesn't come up again after suspend on the pinephone. And if you disable sleep like I often do, you often find a dead battery. Despite all the great work of so many people, I'd have hoped for some more stability in the ecosystem by now.

I also took up a spare Android phone unfortunately, but I'm really fighting with its interface, I want my sxmo !

proycon,

Really? Nice! Did you mean to post a picture, I'm not seeing it?

proycon,

I guess so yeah, but now I see her! Very cute kooikerhondje indeed!

proycon,

Oh wow! Already three people with kooikerhondjes on lemmy! You're right, we should start a community

proycon,

Done! Please join https://lemmy.world/c/kooikerhondje and post more photos ;)

proycon,

Thanks!

proycon,

Not really, though it wouldn’t be hard to add, say via a cronjob.

proycon,

Btw, the link in the sidebar is not working, you'll need to add https:// in front
