Have you ever tried listening to hardcore history by Dan Carlin? I find he’s the right level of captivating to keep me interested, but slow enough that I can still drift off to sleep

My suggestion is to spend maybe half an hour in the evening learninga new hobby/skill, then when you’re in bed go over what you learnt in that half hour in your mind to cement it. You’ll find that just running over the knowledge in your mind induces the “counting sheep” effect and will help you drift off to sleep.
If it doesn’t work, then at least you’ll learn a new skill much quicker!
Frugal Usenet works great for me
They don’t have to tell you the truth. It could have been to test whether being told that it’s “men vs women” affects the readings test subjects provide
Yeah same, its been almost 10 years for me. I briefly tried other options like brave, but kept coming back to Firefox
I used i3 for a couple of years, but I missed the ease of having a DE that just recognised USB sticks and external hard drives, and all the other little things that you have to set up manually
Join a smaller instance. You can still see posts on lemmy.world, and you might find a niche you’re interested in in the process
Nobody is talking about marxists or leftists here, tankies are a breed of their own
I used wind scribe for a few years for torrenting on my phone andpc and never had any trouble. Once I forgot to turn on the vpn while downloading a movie on my phone at work (using the companywifi 🤦) and got an email from IT saying they’d gotten a warning and not to do it again 🤣😬
They do have a firewall option to prevent scenarios like that
I started using Usenet about a year ago and much prefer it. Once you have you it set up it’s very straight forward to use, and means you don’t have to worry about maintaining your ratio, or making sure your vpn doesn’t drop out, or piratebay going down etc etc
When I discovered soulseek and could stop paying $20-$30 per CD. Incidentally, I bought an iPod round the same time and couldn’t copy my mp3s over, and that’s the last time i ever bought an apple product
Umm I don’t think New Guinea is part of the Australian continent. I live in Australia and they definitely didn’t teach us that in school
For some reason New Guinea is included with Australia, even though the western half is owned by Indonesia, and the eastern half is its own country. Either way with the civil war going on there at the moment I’d much rather be living in Australia!
Yeah I don’t see the problem here
My laptop is 6 years old and has been running arch Linux with xfce for most of that time. I got tired of maintaining it and changed to an “easy” Linux mint distro. It takes much longer to boot up now and feels generally sluggish in comparison to a minimal arch install. So from experience, in older hardware having a bloated distro can really slow down your system.
I’m not gonna say I know much about his history, but I am surprised so many people are jumping to take his side in this debacle. I would’ve thought in this day and age that people would be a bit more sceptical of CEOs.
Without knowing the real reasons behind it, it’s very difficult to hold an opinion on the board’s decisions
It’s how people have been talking for, like, 20 years now at least
Try Usenet, you don’t need to worry about a VPN that way
Maybe, but chances are it’ll get taken down in the next few days
