So a view I see a lot nowadays is that attention spans are getting shorter, especially when it comes to younger generations. And the growing success of short form content on Tiktok, Youtube and Twitter for example seems to support this claim. I have a friend in their early 20s who regularly checks their phone (sometimes...

Every so often I give a few bucks(far less than the worth of knowledge I got from it)

I live in a big city in the center. When i activate “Show bluetooth devices without names” in the developer settings of my android 13 phone, there appear loads of this devices. I have no clue what they are. Does anyone know? Are that the bluetooth nanobots of the vaxxinated people? (/s to last question!)

When I was working minimum wage at a gas station many eons ago, we would have ‘2 for $x’ specials where x is less than 2 times the individual price of whatever item....

With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can’t understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don’t have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still...

Following the spirit of spreading across the Fediverse (and because my main instance is down so many times, because diverse reasons) I’m intrigued about the joining instance process, because I honestly don’t know what criteria to have in order to join another one if I ever want to do it....

I’d be Cables Don’t Tangle Man.

I know this is a joke/meme, but I sincerely think of the Roman Empire a surprising amount of times.

For me it was “buy high quality pillow” because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was … ok. Like it’s a fine pillow but my sleeping haven’t improved really, it’s basically the same. So I was disapointed :(...

I am currently self-hosting a meta search engine instance (searxng), which allows me combine searches from different engines (e.g. Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc), but also to filter out websites that I don’t want to show up....

Hey do anybody know where you get a tv that supports 4k and does not have that locked up smarttv shit?...

I allow everything from FOSS that I like, you?

Essentially, I want us to sound like cavemen....

Yeah, I know. Throwback! But people still do use RSS feed readers (like myself)

Famous example... a man spent $44b to push his memes.

It’s gone. Wanted to ask over here before I went to check on Reddit.

This is going to be more of a life pro tip, but trying to reach the largest audience here....

Curiosity only....

I’m picking “Colonel” needs to be respelled to match how it’s pronounced....

I can fall asleep almost anywhere. I routinely fall asleep in the break room at work. Once, I was helping a friend fix his car, and I fell asleep on his garage floor when he went inside to get water....

Caffeine must be one of, if not the, most used drug. It is vital to the operation of more or less every industry.

I believe this will mostly affects games which were lacking in technology....
