It’s annoying when going through a list of multiple ”1 month ago” entries. Maybe I’m looking for an entry at a certain date. Aim with mouse, wait one second, repeat.

What I could easily visually identify in less than 1 second can take more than 10 seconds to find.

It also greatly increases the cognitive load of using the program. If there are many entries to look for, then it’s going to be difficult to keep all actual dates in memory.

”Where was the 14 April entry? I need to check again. Ah there it is! Now I need to compare it against the 30 April entry. Where was it again? It was just in front of me…”

Then mouse hover doesn’t work on mobile.

Showing ”2 weeks ago” or ”1 month ago” instead of the actual date. ”1 month ago” can be anything between 30 days and 60 days ago.

Not often. Maybe once every half year.

There’s a mix of reasons to start a hobby project.

One reason for starting a hobby project is the learning experience. For example, learning a new programming language or a particular tech stack. The goal isn’t to build something useful. Often it can be building things that already exist. For example, a Minecraft server or a Gameboy emulator.

Another reason is to build something useful for you. Maybe you have an idea of a program you feel should exist. Or maybe a program exists, but not in the way you want. Building it yourself can bridge this gap. Hopefully someone else might find your program useful.

Then there’s also the people who do it for fun. It’s kind of like building a model railway. The process of building it can be more fun and rewarding than actually using it.

Regarding Linux, it’s mostly a matter of preference. There are some things that are easier in Linux. Mac and Windows can sometimes be ” overly protective” and prevent the user from doing particular things. Linux has generally fewer of such barriers.

One thing many forget about critical thinking is to also be critical of your own thoughts as well. Too many people think it’s only about attacking other people’s opinion.

Ads will be hijacked into any media content through AI. Watching a video essay on YouTube? Ha! YouTube will seamlessly hijack 1 minute of this video and now your favorite essayist will talk about how great Dunkin Donuts is. All without their consent.

Internet will be truly dead. Nothing is authentic anymore. Everything will be AI slop. If it isn’t AI slop, then it will be injected with AI slop ad reads sooner or later. Some ads will be injected by the service provider. Others will be injected by the web browser. Maybe some even by the operating system itself. Even comments like this one can turn into an AI slop ad read. It reminds me of the unbeatable experience I had the other day in Dunkin Donuts. I don’t know what it is, but something makes Dunkin Donuts that much better. Does anyone know what it can be? IMO, everybody deserves to treat themselves with a little Dunkin in their lives. So good!

I was stubborn and refused to look up guides on how to solve it. I finally managed to solve it by applying some permutation math I learned in university.

Just some default wallpaper. I have never really cared about the wallpaper. I just pick anything that doesn’t distract.

I suppose it tells I’m a boring person.

Toilet paper shortage in stores was a global phenomenon. It’s seems like during times of crisis, people buy toilet paper. The grocery stores just weren’t prepared for everybody to buy toilet paper at the same time. They couldn’t keep up with the restocking.

There was no real shortage in toilet paper in terms of production.

Sweden. I pay 150 SEK (~16 USD) for 8GB/month.

Unused data is transferred over to the next month, so running out of data has never been a problem for me.

So like any Adam Sandler movie?

I don’t hate AI art. I hate people who pretend they’re artists when all they do is writing prompts.
