Yes, I do 20USD/mo, I think, because I've taken up what I've been calling "Secular Tithing" in the last few years, and Wikimedia and its ventures were useful learning and research tools for my undergrad and highschool. Less so during my master's, but that's just how that goes.

Too bad (for them) the newer version of Tweetdeck was ✨worse✨ than the old one.
A good number of those subreddits became breeding grounds for not-so-subtle racist dogwhistling, so I don't really miss them.
A lot of the others sort of ran through the actually good, viable content before expanding to being less good (/r/YoutubeHaiku basically dropping the 'unscripted' requirement and becoming essentially, short-form skits and streamer clips). I tend to follow people with content I like directly on TikTok and Youtube these days. Aggregators of content tend to go either generic or toxic, I find.
Ooh yeah. I wasn't going to jump through that weird whitelist process to get that twitter blueblocker on Firefox for Android, but not I don't have to!
Ooh, I have a file that crashes 1.2 every time I try to move an element in it. I wonder if it'll handle it properly, now.
It's a thing, yeah. Disney acquired them in the mid-90s. Pretty reliably top 3 in viewership numbers, just above Fox and Fox News, who round out the top 5.
My home setup is a dual monitor, with the secondary to the side in portrait mode.
I prefer that to the time I tried an ultrawide, partly because it's a lot easier to configure secondary windows when gaming -- game is fullscreen/fullscreen borderless).
Friend's bookclub has been working through The Locked Tomb trilogy which has been fun (both to read and to watch other people encounter).
Outside of that, I've been slowly working my way through The Knot Book (about mathematical topology, not kinky stuff), a book about "The Shambhala guide to Sufism", and "Inside Scientology".
I've been going through library books trying to find something at least somewhat straightforward about the modern Sufis and their beliefs/texts/rituals, but all the books I've encountered so far seem to be way more concerned with the historical lens of "Westerners through the centuries trying to grapple with the concept of Sufism and disagreeing with each other about what it is".
Ooh, nice. I hope this means Boost for Lemmy's release isn't that far behind!
- Reading
- Gaming
- VR Gamedev and weird videos about it (link to gfycat of me, uh, helicoptering a vive controller years ago)
- Weird "video lectures" where I apply hard mathematics/computer science to fandoms/shipping/LGBT things.
There's an irony to comparing it to a Lovecraftian tale, considering how racist the guy was, and how his stories allegorically supported racism.
