0x4E4F, in What chromium based browser do you recommend and why?

Vivaldi. Why? Highly cuztomizable.

Though slower than other chromium based browsers.

BudgetBandit,

This, and maybe even opera?

1rre,

Sounds unsuitable then

It’s just as a fallback in case a site isn’t tested on firefox and uses some obscure & nonstandard API, so customisable doesn’t matter.

0x4E4F,

Ungoogled Chromium then.

faintwhenfree, in Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

Ooh my time to shine with my long list

  1. T90 Official plays age of empires games very soothing voice
  2. Agadmator plays chess videos very rhythmic voice
  3. 3blue1brown maths videos, even if you hate math he has a voice that is so calm
  4. Real Civil Engineer plays indie or building games is a bit weird, 90% he is nice but sometimes he gets excited and I’ve been woken from my sleep, but still good as I fall back right after
  5. Kurtzgezat science videos with great narration (may hurt your dreams tho)
  6. Nicole Coenen woodcutting videos great voice great pace only downside very few videos in total so you burn through her videos quite fast.
  7. Technology Connections, great videos about obscure day to day tech mazing voice
  8. Primitive technology, no words a lot of nature sounds of him building stuff without technology

I’ll add more if I remember.

3blue1brown is a great call.

I would add Applied Science and NileRed (who does chemistry experiments) as possibilities if OP likes their voices. Their content is very methodical and uniform. My cat likes their videos, which seems like a pretty good metric for this use case.

I also love vihart, who does math videos, but her stuff is a little more varied, including some music, so OP might want to evaluate her during the day before trusting her channel for sleep.

Jeremy Fielding has a great voice if you want videos about engineering and how to salvage motors out of washing machines and treadmills.

I'll consult my subscription list and add more if I find any.

Edited to add:
Carl Bugeja (electronics)
CGP Grey (mostly history)
DIY Perks (various projects)
Henry Segerman (math art)
OskarPuzzle (designs for 3d printed puzzles)
Razbuten (video games)
Sabine Hossenfelder (physics)
Stand-up Maths (math)
Steve Mould (explanations of unusual everyday things, I guess? kinda hard to summarize)
Technology Connections (as others have mentioned)
Tim Hunkin (makes weird mechanical art and explains machines)
Tom Scott (videos about unusual places and bits of history)
Two Minute Papers (advances in AI and computer graphics)

Edited again to add: Breaking Taps. This one is mostly microscopic fabrication stuff, so, various kinds of microscopes, vapor deposition, etching, etc.

faintwhenfree,

Yes almost all great options.

totallynotarobot, in How do you keep yourself from eating all your candy-stash in one sitting?

Do you usually eat everything in the house in one sitting? Do it the normal way - eat what you want based on your personal diabetes goals.

your personal diabetes goals.

MIDItheKID, in Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?

“If you’re going through hell, keep going” -Winston Churchill

sysadmin420, in Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?

My dad always said “Always do the right thing”, and “the world is what you make of it”

UristMcHolland, in Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?

“Nothing changes if nothing changes”

Kolanaki, in Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

I say “fuck this” or “fuck that” or “fuck it all” or “fuck everything” pretty often. I guess that?

morphballganon, in Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?

I don’t have one, but these replies remind me of some lines from Inglourious Basterds:

“You’ll be hanged for this!”

“No, I’ll get chewed out. I’ve been chewed out before.”

Nemo, in Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?

My mantra is just rama rama rama. Meditation with a mantra helps a lot of you put in the work beforehand.

It sounds like you’re talking more about a motivational slogan, though. Mine is, “You don’t have to want it, you just have to do it.” It helps because it frees me from the tyranny of desire. I don’t need to figure out if I’m in the mood. I don’t need to trick myself into enjoying it. I can just do the thing and be done with it.

Relatedly, there’s a line from a favorite book, “Somebody has to and no one else will” with a similar vibe.

intensely_human,

In my case it’s a mantra, because I say it out loud repeatedly.

XYZinferno, in hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?

People have already mentioned the more popular ones

Apart from those, Id recommend Behind the Overlay- it’s an extension that removes a lot of unclosable popups on pages in a single click. Things like “disable your adblock” messages or websites that poorly gatekeep content behind a subscription.

jubilationtcornpone, in Turn a plural into a singular to ruin the title of a movie, book or album

The One Musketeer

Our hero, D’Artagnan, faces numerous adversaries and learns the meaning of honor while searching for the last candy bar on earth.

I think the arkenfox project website has some good info on this. For a good privacy baseline, you basically only need to enable strict mode and download the ublock origin extension, then change some settings for the extension (e.g. add filter lists).

Nunya, in How do you like to sort your Lemmy feed?

When I first started Lemmy the general consensus was top 6-hour, so I start with that. When that gets boring I switch to New.

slazer2au, in How do you like to sort your Lemmy feed?

Local New to begin with. After that All New

moistclump,

Dumb question. Is local by server (I’m on lemmy.world) or by location (country).

FlapKap,

Server. Since my server is Danish my local feed is Danish, which is nice

Tibert, (edited )

Only posts originating from your instance.

So only posts made by people from lemmy.world.

When you post something, the post is on lemmy.world.

For example, this is your post lemmy.world/post/7469149 . If you would post to another community, it would still be lemmy.world/post/xxx even if the community isn’t on lemmy.world. But the post is attached to that community.

All is all the post from all the communities the accounts in your instance are subscribed to.

AdminWorker, in to all Professional Debt Collectors,

Well unsecured consumer debt has technically no legal consequences if it is not paid unless you get permission to garnish wages from a court. Most consumer debt collectors use the “badger and harry” approach of constant phone calls to collect debt.

Secured debt will just take the collateral.

Of course try the high fico score debtors first.

Or just forgive the debt.

SheDiceToday,

Yeah, that “technically no legal consequences” though is a thin thread that’s protecting you. It was being discussed on another thread.
