Shift_, in What's it like working night shift?
@Shift_@kbin.social avatar

I personally love working nights. I'm not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination. In fact I am actively worse at things the earlier I wake up. Conversely my brain feels clearer and more active after 10pm.

That being said, my social life is almost entirely online. I rarely go out IRL. I sleep like a rock and only need about 6 hours anyway.

If you are someone who needs to talk to people, has trouble sleeping during the day, or requires a lot of sleep, the night shift is likely not for you.

Some people are built for it, some aren't.

PotjiePig, in How do you enjoy listening to digital content? Speakers? Headphones? Earbuds?

I’ve got a pair of nice old Japanese wooden bookshelfs hooked up to a NAD amp that plays both my records and my TV/PS. That does the heavy lifting, for my office I have some good but generic over ears that get the job done. And then I have a pair of planar earbuds ‘LetShoer S12’:which are awesome bit I don’t use often because they’re quite sharp for long sessions but sound fantastic.

newguy208, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

Before you go on an omnicide on the entire species, consider planting Neem tree. These naturally repel mosquitoes. You can also get their oil to burn in oil dispenser etc but be warned it stinks like hell. I prefer to have a small pot of it next to the window and once it grows big enough, put it in a permanent place in the ground.

Nomad,

There is nothing about insect repelling qualities for the tree itself in the article you linked.

Mostly dark. But also quiet.

cwagner, in Age Verification On Lemmy

That is only relevant for instances hosted in Germany, and also why feddit.de and discuss.tchncs.de (like most instances, though) defederated from NSFW instances.

Age gates are a joke and almost no one uses them, xhamster even flouts the law and changes the German subdomain whenever there is a new idiotic ISP DNS block.

Related anecdote: I was hosting an erotica forum (which I started doing when I was 14 or 15 …) when the law came to be, we had to get a Jugendschutzbeauftragter (youth protection officer; luckily something that existed “as a service” for like 5€/month) and implement an age gate. This killed the site.

I don’t understand it either. The only reason I upgraded from my Galaxy S10 was because the USB port no longer worked. I could still charge it via wireless charging, but it was annoying not being able to plug it into my car to use Google Maps. If the USB port didn’t break, I’d probably still be using the old S10.

Machinist, in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

Machining and blacksmithing are highly correlated with right wing BS in the US. Check my uname and ask me how I know. 😁

FierroGamer,

This one may not be so obvious, but I’ve seen someone lose their marbles over the crazy idea that they get recommended stuff for children when all they watch on YouTube is Minecraft videos and sometimes Roblox. And people in the comments agreed…

The YouTube subreddit wasn’t full of bright people.

upt, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

I hate cardio, so that’s what I do. Weird thing, but I figured if I hate something it’s the thing I need to work on. Besides, it seems like cardio is the thing that helps you lose weight the fastest.

kelvie, in What is the best anonymous image hosting site?

I wonder if there’s a federated solution for this, which means that you just need a techie friend who can self host this for you

Bristlecone, in What's it like working night shift?

Worked them for some years and they literally caused me to start having panic attacks. Hate them.

PartialPenguin, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

I lift weights a few days in the week and it’s just routine now. I don’t find working out to be fun, but seeing friends at the gym and and chatting is fun.

yoz, in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

This can’t be any more clearer

Android TV- install smartnexttube Android phone- Set private DNS to Nextdns and block all ads + install firefox w/ unlock origin Or if you want an app install - newpipe from fdroid app store

UnelectedReimu, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

I bought a Redmi Note 11 pro last year and it’s a great phone! Really though, buying new phones every year is something only well off people can afford (or people who are ok getting into lots of credit card debt). There really is no point right now, newer phones just aren’t that much better and in fact smartphone sales worldwide are slowing down exactly because everyone who wants a good enough smartphone already has one. My current phone does absolutely everything I need, in fact it’s much more powerful than my first laptop ever was, I can emulate most retro consoles, watch uhd videos, use any app I need, listen to all the music I want, I can even do things like use microsoft office on it. I don’t need a new one, this works just perfect for me. The only thing that would make it better is to get it rooted so I can install a custom rom and get rid of xiaomi’s bloatware infested android rom
