Religions… All of them.

If everyone stopped believing in religion (any and all religions), all these religious leaders would lose their power.

Project yourself 20 years into the future. Imagine yourself saying this to present day you. Then act on that advice. Much of these suggestions can apply to anyone at almost any age.

The ending of SOMA. I sometimes watch it on youtube just to enjoy it again. Note: the ending won’t mean anything to you if you don’t already know the story.

OpeNoise is one… it will need calibration but if you weren’t concerned about actual dB readings you could use it uncalibrated

I’ve heard YouTubers say they aren’t making as much from their regular videos and that YouTube is pushing shorts. So the Youtubers have started to focus on shorts. I don’t like short so I don’t watch them.

PC running Linux with games purchased via Steam. Nothing extra to set up as the PC is always on and available anyway,

Yes. You listen to music without knowing anything about who wrote it and you feel something. That feeling has nothing to do with the composer or performer. Now if you find out the composer/performer is a “bad” person, I would recommend not giving them any money that could contribute to them spreading their “bad stuff”. I’d still enjoy the music because your enjoyment isn’t furthering their bad agenda.

Lobbying and lobbyist groups.

For me it was magic. I love watching magicians. When I got a chance to do some magic tricks it just wasn’t as much fun as watching someone else do them.

Sometimes it might just be to make the video longer (filler.) I hate seeing a 10 minute video that could have been 4 minutes or explained in a short paragraph (written text.)

Portal (co-op mode) using community made chambers.

So what is the general approach that people use to go back to see if more comments are added?

For the old Reddit interface (that you can still go back to), between the post and the comments towards the right is a button labeled “subscribe”. Pressing that gives a popup saying “You are now subscribed … for 7 days …”.

During the next 7 days, if any new comments come in, you are notified about them.

If you go to “Your Dashboard” and then the “My Subscriptions” you can see your subscriptions and renew them (for more days or unsubscribe.)

You can use Joplin without any cloud sync at all and the notes just stay on your one device.

Joplin https://joplinapp.org/ It is a free an open source note taking app similar to Evernote. You can keep your data on a cloud service (such as Dropbox) to keep your notes in sync between Android, Windows, Linux and IOS or you can pay for Joplin Cloud storage.

The people with money will spend to develop better AI and use that AI to make more money. Thus capitalism will keep growing.

It says that the program depends on a non-free network service. Does that mean there is a subscription or other type of payment involved?

I like the app, but I don’t like the update. By adding graphics (that add no value) you have to do more scrolling to find what you are looking for. Still absolutely worth using though since their content is good.
