  • I have one backpack I use for everything. I usually keep a 65W USB A+C charger and a 45W Powerbank with a small assortment of cables in there.

    Now of course I have multiple USB-PD chargers and powerbanks, however all of those mysteriously disappear when I need them, making it necessary to use the backpack ones at home and being the clumsy dork I am, I always forget them there reducing the backpack charger count to zero. And guess when I come into a situation where I desperately need to recharge \ on the go?


  • Sponsorblock theoretically exists

    In its current form, it would only work if each video had the ads injected at the same timestamp and with the same duration everytime, which I find unlikely.

    It would have to implement some dynamic behavior. It is however in at least some countries required to visibly and clearly mark ads, so a check for that marking could possibly be implemented. But that’s more of a thing I’d expect uBO to do instead of Sponsorblock.

    Going by recent internet history, every anti-adblock measure will have its according anti-anti-adblock measure within at most a few weeks by now. That’s the beauty of community-driven open source projects.


  • I’m basically a “native” Linux user. When my parents finally decided to get a computer in 2008 or so (I was in elementary school back then), it got Ubuntu installed on it, so my first contact points with modern technology were 100% on Linux as anything invented after the 1950s wasn’t used at all in elementary back then.

    When I got my first own computer a few years later, the guy who guided my dad and me through building it suggested installing both Linux Mint and Windows on it. The Linux installation died on me after a few months for unknown reasons, I had no idea how to fix it and our helper disappeared into severe personal problems, so I used Windows only for quite a while until I finally started to really get into Linux inside VMs and was finally able to reinstall it on the bare metal.
    As I had always prefered Linux, it quickly became my daily driver again.

    Fast forward to today, Linux is the only OS on my laptop and the main OS of my gaming PC. I use Manjaro KDE on both.
