why the hell are none of the display scaling options on the Pixel 10 INTEGER SCALING? i hate non-integer scaling so much. i figured out that if you go into android's developer settings you can set "minimum width" to a dip value that's an integer scale of your display's native resolution though! YES!

Explains the phenomenon where people *feel* more productive but the studies show a decrease in productivity. Using these tools is playing pretend.
Once you make the comparisons to how executives "work," this concept of fake productivity can be expanded

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning.
Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

Spotify is a nightmare getting worse. They exploited the state of the industry and hold musicians in an unstable and perilous position that distracts from creation. If you still can't leave when it's a more expensive and more evil service with worse quality, I don't know what to say to you

There's several services to transfer your entire library and I've heard it is easier than expected. Just a few:
freeyourmusic.com
www.tunemymusic.com
Spotify will keep raising prices and is not going to last forever with how they're running their business, so I think this is actually proactive.

I appreciate that people are listening to me at all and I don't want to be ungrateful, but these remain my thoughts on Spotify in particular and I want to leave the platform behind as soon as it's personally viable. My music's the same on all services and actually sounds less good on Spotify.

If you're switching off Firefox because of the AI shit, going to "Chromium but it's ran by a crypto compatible org whose CEO is a homophobe" is REALLY not the move, folks.

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

It's interesting how this all flows from a single regulatory requirement: Steam asks developers to disclose GenAI usage on their store page, while no other store does this
