I really do not care about your constitution. I'm from Germany not the US.
'"Germany places strict limits on speech and expression when it comes to right-wing extremism" or anything reminiscent of Nazism. Hate speech on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity also is banned in Germany.'
And I think this is the way all countries should handle it. No need to defend people promoting hate speech by debating me or your definition of free speach, I do not adhere by it.
Edit: I will wear 10A(ssholes') downvote as a badge of honor, thank you!
The creators of SponsorBlock did it again, now we can crowdsource better titles and thumbnails as well. I just tried it with LinusTechTips who is a worst offender when it comes to clickbait and its really great....
Is it pomodoro that doesn't work or just timers in general? One of the more heavy handed approaches I've taken in the past is installing a parental control app on my phone (if you use Android, there's a really good FOSS one available on F-Droid), and restricted access to all websites and apps aside from calling and texting during work hours. I obviously know the password to disable these, but the extra time spent punching that in is enough to steer myself back in the right direction.
I know you said timers don't work but I'll still suggest using them, just in a more loose fashion. Momentum is huge with executive dysfunction, getting the ball rolling in the correct direction is important. So instead of holding yourself to a hard and fast 20-5-15 Pomo, try "I have to work for the next 5 minutes, after the timer is up, I can take a break, or I can keep going if I feel up to it". That 5 minutes is adjustable, if 5 is too long, don't feel guilty about lower it to 4, or 3, or even sub 1 minute. If you aren't picking up any momentum after few tries, stop and ask yourself what needs could you meet before trying again (Hungry? Tired? Craving a burst of entertainment?).
Lastly, lets address likely why some things only work for you for a few weeks. Novelty, is an incredibly powerful motivator for the adhd brain. Simply something being new can be enough to make it hold your attention. As soon as it's not new, it no longer works, because sadly habits aren't very "sticky" for the adhd brain either. BUT, you can still use this to your advantage. All you need is multiple systems to get yourself in gear, and work them on a cycle. Use one method until you feel the drive burning out, then switch to a new one. On a constant cycle you can keep the novelty rolling and keep yourself involved in organizational aids.
I am assuming image hosting will be quite difficult to scale if kbin keeps growing exponentially. Currently, I believe @ernest is taking care of hosting?...
I did a quick set of tests and I can use direct Pixelfed image links so far. I think it would be better if kbin could process the embedded version of the links, but that always needs to be coded correctly to avoid potential security issues.
I could see it being useful for people who produce or create their own content.
I also think that setting up Pixelfed accounts on existing servers just to upload memes or other content downloaded from other sites to then link into kbin is something to ponder. I feel like a large scale push to turn Pixelfed into Imgur just as an “off-computer/off-mobile device” storage without any expectations of having the uploaded content be interacted with or discovered outside of kbin would have some effect on those Pixelfed instances.
In the extreme case of “I’m just using this Pixelfed account as a type of Google Drive storage location for media”, I think Pixelfed instance admins would feel friction and frustration especially since nearly all Pixelfed content is OC. Posting screenshots of SNS messages, or reposts or older content or gifs of SNS videos (Tik tok or similar) would change the local timeline on those Pixelfed instances for sure and I’m not sure how that would affect the user’s experience on those instances. Unlike Imgur, Pixelfed doesn’t have “Top, Rising, New” so the local timeline would just be like Imgur’s “Usersub - newest” with no way to quickly filter out or block. Especially if it becomes common.
Personally, I think Questionable Content, Kevin and Kell, and Dumbing of Age are great for this. They all have a ton of history, and Kevin and Kell is actually one of the longest running webcomics ever.
